Question : A chord of length 48 cm is at a distance of 7 cm from the centre of the circle. What is the length of the chord of the same circle which is at a distance of 15 cm from the centre of the circle?

Option 1: 40 cm

Option 2: 45 cm

Option 3: 35 cm

Option 4: 42 cm

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 40 cm


Solution :
The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.

Hypotenuse2 = Base2 + Perpendicular2
MP = PN = $\frac{\text{MN}}{2}$ = $\frac{48}{2}$ = 24 cm
Distance from the centre as $d_{1}$ = 15 cm
