As per the given in question , we draw a figure a circle,
Given , OC = 3 cm
OA = 5 cm
AC = √OA² - OC²Correct Option: D
As 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

According to question , we draw a figure of a circle ,
Given, ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°
⇒ ∠DEC = 180° – 130° = 50°Correct Option: D
According 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

According 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 = rCorrect Option: B
According 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°

n 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 = 7Correct Option: B

Given , OƠ = 7 cm
We know that ,
OƠ = r1 + r2
⇒ r1 + r2 = 7
⇒ 4 + r2 = 7
⇒ r2 = 7 – 4 = 3 cm
