✓
8 cm
B
15 cm
C
18 cm
D
6 cm

Answer

Correct option: A.

8 cm

(a) 8 cm
Applying Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle O L C$, we obtain
$\begin{array}{ll}& O C^2=O L^2+L C^2 \\
\Rightarrow \quad & O L=\sqrt{O C^2-L C^2}=\sqrt{17^2-15^2}=\sqrt{64} cm=8 cm\end{array}$

In right triangle OEC, we obtain
$\begin{array}{ll}& O C^2=O E^2+E C^2 \\
\Rightarrow & O C^2=(O B-E B)^2+8^2 \\
\Rightarrow & O C^2=(O C-4)^2+64 \\
\Rightarrow & 0=-8 O C+16+64 \Rightarrow O C=10 cm\end{array}$

7.5 cm

(c) 7.5 cm
In right triangle OEA, applying Pythagoras theorem, we obtain
$\begin{array}{ll}& O A^2=O E^2+A E^2 \\
\Rightarrow & O A^2=(O C-C E)^2+6^2 \\
\Rightarrow & O A^2=(O A-3)^2+36 \\
\Rightarrow \quad & 0=-6 \cdot O A+9+36 \Rightarrow O A=\frac{45}{6} cm=7.5 cm\end{array}$

If a chord of a circle is at a distance of 8 cm from the centre of a circle of radius 17 cm , then the length of the chord is

A
25 cm
B
12.5 cm
✓
30 cm
D
9 cm

Answer

Correct option: C.

30 cm

(c) 30cm
Let AB be a chord of a circle of radius 17 cm such that AB is at a distance of 8 cm from the origin. Clearly, L is the mid-point of AB.
In right triangle OLA, applying Pythagoras theorem, we obtain
$\begin{array}{ll}& O A^2=O L^2+A L^2 \Rightarrow A L=\sqrt{O A^2-O L^2}=\sqrt{17^2-8^2}=\sqrt{289-64}=15 cm \\
\therefore \quad & A B=2 A L=2 \times 15 cm=30 cm .\end{array}$

In Fig. if $O A=5 cm, A B=8 cm$ and OD is perpendicular to AB, then CD is equal to

✓
2 cm
B
3 cm
C
4 cm
D
5 cm

Answer

Correct option: A.

2 cm

(a) 2 cm
We have, $A B=8 cm$. Therefore, $A C=B C=4 cm$
Applying Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle O C A$, we obtain
$\begin{aligned}& O A^2=O C^2+A C^2 \Rightarrow O C=\sqrt{O A^2-A C^2}=\sqrt{5^2-4^2}=3 cm \\
\therefore & \quad C D=O D-O C=O A-O C=(5-3)=2 cm\end{aligned}$
