(i) Every diameter of a circle is also a chord.
(ii) Every chord of a circle is also a diameter.
(iii) The centre of a circle is always in its interior.

• A. (i)-False, (ii)-True, (iii)-False
• B. (i)-True, (ii)-False, (iii)-True
• C. (i)-True, (ii)-False, (iii)-False
• D. (i)-True, (ii)-True, (iii)-False

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

(i)-True, (ii)-False, (iii)-True

A chord of circle is a line segment inside circle whose both end points lie on the circumference of circle.

Every diameter is a chord but reverse is not true, since diameter is the longest chord passing through center of circle.

And center always lie inside the circle in the mid. It is that point from where every point on circle is equidistant.

From this Option (ii) is false.

Hence Option B is correct.
