  1. The distance between two parallel chords of length 8 cm each in a circle of diameter 10 cm is
    1. 6 cm
    2. 7 cm
    3. 8 cm
    4. 5·5 cm
Correct Option: A

As per the given in question , we draw a figure circle

Given , Diameter = 10 cm
AB = CD
OP = OQ
From ∆ OAP,
OP = √OA² - AP²
OP = √5² - 4²
OP = √25 - 16
OP = √9 = 3 cm.
∴ QP = 2 × OP = 6 cm.
