Question

When chords of equal length are equidistant from the center, do they lie on the same side of the circle's center?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. May be
• D. Cannot say

Answer 1

The correct option is B No


The chords $\text{PQ}$ and $\text{AB}$ have the same length. Figures $2$ and $3$ shows that chords $\text{PQ}$ and $\text{AB}$ are not on the same side of the circle's center,

While figures $4$ and $5$ show that when identical chords are placed on the same side of the circle's center, they are not at the same distance.

Equal chords cannot be on the same side of the circle's center if their distances from the center are same.
