Solution

The correct option is C 18 cm


We know,
Angle of an arc XY = Angle subtended by the chord XY with the centre of the circle = 45°
Angle of an arc XY = Angle subtended by the chord XY with the centre of the circle = 45°
By the theorem, we get
XY = MN = 18 cm
[Theorem: If the angles subtended by the chords of a circle at the centre are equal, then the chords are equal.]
