P and Q are the midpoints of two chords (not diameter) AB and AC of a circle with center O. OP and OQ lines are extended to points S and R respectively, to touch the circle. In major arc T is another point between R and S. Then if ∠BAC = 32° then ∠RTS = ?
74°
106°
64°

If O be the circumcentre of a Δ PQR and ∠QOR = 110°, ∠OPR = 25° then the measure of ∠PRQ is
50°
55°
60°

A, B, C, D are four points on a circle. AC and BD intersect at a point E such that ∠BEC = 130° and ∠ECD = 20°. Then, ∠BAC is
90°
100°
110°
120°
N is the foot of the perpendicular from a point P of a circle with radius 7 cm, on a diameter AB of the circle. If the length of the chord PB is 12 cm, the distance of the point N from the point B is
Two circles of same radius 5 cm, intersect each other at A and B. If AB = 8 cm, then the distance between the centres is
10 cm
4 cm
6 cm
8 cm
Each of the two circles same radius a passes through the centre of the other. If the circles cut each other at the points A, B and O, O' be their centres, area of the quadrilateral AOBO' is

In a circle of radius 17 cm, two parallel chords of lengths 30 cm and 16 cm are drawn. If both the chords are on the same side of the centre, then the distance between the chords is
9 cm
7 cm
23 cm
11 cm
B.
7 cm
Given, CD = 30 cm (Length of longest chord)
∴ CM = 30/2 = 15 cm (Perpendicular distance drawn from centre, bisects the chord)
AB = 16 cm (Length of smallest chord)
∴ AN = 16/2 = 8 cm (Perpendicular distance drawn from centre, bisects the chord)
Now, In Δ OCM,
Similarly,
∴ Distance between the chords = 15 - 8 = 7 cm.
Two circles touch each other internally, Their radii are 2 cm and 3 cm. The biggest chord of the greater circle which is outside the inner circle is of length
2√2 cm
3√2 cm
2√3 cm
