Option 2: 5
Option 3: 17
Option 4: 12
Correct Answer: 17
Solution : Let the length of ON be $x$ cm. Distance between the two chords = $(12 +x)$ cm AO, OB, OC, and OD are the radius of the circle. In $\triangle AOM$, $AO^2=AM^2+MO^2$ ⇒ $AO^2=5^2+12^2$ ⇒ $AO^2=25+144$ ⇒ $AO^2=169$ ⇒ $AO=\sqrt{169}$ ⇒ $AO=13$ cm ⇒ $OC
