					 The distance between two parallel chords of length 8 cm each in a circle of diameter 10 cm is
- 
                        -  6 cm 
 
-  7 cm 
 
-  8 cm 
 
- 5·5 cm
 
-  6 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.
