Question

Select the statements that hold true for the figure given below:

• A. $\angle CRD=\angle CSD$
• B. AB is a secant
• C. There are 2 secants, QP and MN
• D. CD is a chord

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

$\angle CRD=\angle CSD$

C

There are 2 secants, QP and MN

D

CD is a chord

$\angle CRD=\angle CSD$ because angles made by a chord in the same segment are equal.

AB is not a secant, its a chord, as it is a line segment joining any 2 points of a circle.

A line which meeets a circle in 2 points is called secant of the circle. In the figure, QP and MN are secants and CD is a chord.
