 Given , OC = 3 cm
 OA = 5 cm
 AC = √OA² - OC²Correct Option: DAs per the given in question , we draw a figure a circle,  
 Given , OC = 3 cm
 OA = 5 cm
 AC = √OA² - OC²
 AC = √5² - 3² = 4
 ∴ AB = 2AC = 8 cm
-  A, B, C, D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°. ∠BAC is

 Given, ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°
 ⇒ ∠DEC = 180° – 130° = 50°Correct Option: DAccording to question , we draw a figure of a circle ,  
 Given, ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°
 ⇒ ∠DEC = 180° – 130° = 50°
 ∴ ∠EDC = 180° – 50° – 20° = 110°
 ∴ ∠BAC = ∠EDC = 110°
 (Angles on the same arc)
-  A, B and C are the three points on a circle such that the angles subtended by the chords AB and AC at the centre O are 90° and 110° respectively. ∠BAC is equal to

 [∵ BOC is not a straight line]
 From figure , ∠AOB = 90° ; OA = OB = r
 ∴ ∠BAO = ∠ABO = 45°
 ∴ ∠AOC = 110° ; OA = OC = rCorrect Option: BAccording to question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,  
 [∵ BOC is not a straight line]
 From figure , ∠AOB = 90° ; OA = OB = r
 ∴ ∠BAO = ∠ABO = 45°
 ∴ ∠AOC = 110° ; OA = OC = r∴ ∠OAC = ∠OCA = 70 = 35° 2 
 ∴ ∠BAC = 45° + 35° = 80°
-  Two circles touch each other externally. The distance between their centre is 7 cm. If the radius of one circle is 4 cm, then the radius of the other circle is

 Given , OƠ = 7 cm
 We know that ,
 OƠ = r1 + r2
 ⇒ r1 + r2 = 7Correct Option: Bn the basis of question we draw a figure of a two circles touch each other externally ,  
 Given , OƠ = 7 cm
 We know that ,
 OƠ = r1 + r2
 ⇒ r1 + r2 = 7
 ⇒ 4 + r2 = 7
 ⇒ r2 = 7 – 4 = 3 cm
-  Two circles touch each other internally. Their radii are 2 cm and 3 cm. The biggest chord of the greater circle which is outside the inner circle is of length
