Question : Two circles having radii of $r$ units intersect each other in such a way that each of them passes through the centre of the other. Then the length of their common chord is:
Option 1: $\sqrt{2}r\ \text{units}$
Option 2: $\sqrt{3}r\ \text{units}$
Option 3: $\sqrt{5}r\ \text{units}$
Option 4: $r\ \text{units}$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{3}r\ \text{units}$
Solution : Let $r$ be the radius of each circle. AB is the common chord. So, OA = OC = $r$ OE = $\frac{1}{2}×$OC = $\frac{1}{2}×r$ Using Pythagoras theorem on $\triangle$AOE, we get, OA 2 = OE2 +AE2 ⇒ AE = $\sqrt{r^2-(\frac{r}{2})^2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}r}{2}$ AB =

Option 1: 0.0102
Option 2: 0.102
Option 3: 1.020
Option 4: 10.20
Correct Answer: 0.0102
Solution : Given: 0.16 : 0.0016 :: 1.02 : ?
Like, 0.16 : 0.0016→0.16 ÷ 100 = 0.0016 Similarly, 1.02 : ?→1.02 ÷ 100 = 0.0102
So, 1.02 is related to 0.0102. Hence, the first option is correct.
