Solution

The correct option is D $12 c m$
Given, two circles intersect each other such that each circle passes through the center of the other. This can happen only when the two circles are of same radius.

Hence, the distance between their centers in equal to radius of each circle.
Therefore, the radius of both circle is equal to $12$
