Answer: Option C. -> 13 cm
:
C
Given AB and CD are two chords of a circles on opposite sides of the centre.
Construction: Draw perpendiculars OE and OF onto AB and CD respectively from centre O.
AE = EB = 5cm and CF = FD = 12 cm
[ Perpendicular drawn to a chord from center bisects the chord]
Given,
Distance between two chords = 17 cm
Let distance between O and F =x cm
And distance between O and E =(17−x)cm
In ΔOEB,
OB2=OE2+EB2
[Pythagoras theorem]
=(17−x)2+52---(1)
In ΔOFD,
OD2=OF2+FD2
[Pythagoras theorem]
=(x)2+122----------→(2)
But OB = OD ( radii of the same circle).
From 1 & 2,
(17−x)2+52=(x)2+122
⇒ 289+x2−34x+25=x2+144
⇒ 34x=170
∴ x=5
Subsitute x in equation (2);
OD2=(5)2+122=169
OD=13
∴ Radius of the circle is 13 cm.

Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
Draw an arcof smaller radius and join its ends at its centre. Now draw an arc of bigger radius and try to join its ends at its centre, now draw a straight line and try to join its ends at its centre we can see that it will meet its centre at infinity, so from this we can conclude that a line is a circle of infinite radius.
Take a triangle and add it to another triangle it will form a quadrilateral, add another triangle to this quadrilateral it will form a pentagon, keep adding triangles to this polygon at one point you will realize that a polygon with infinite sides will be a circle, with each side being infinitesimally small.

Answer: Option A. -> 30∘
:
A
Given thatABCD is a cyclic quadilateral such that∠BCD=100∘and ∠ABD=70∘.
Since opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary,
∠DAB+∠DCB=180∘.
⟹∠DAB=180∘−∠DCB
=180∘−100∘=80∘
Consider △ADB,since sum of angles of a triangleis180∘, we have
∠ADB+∠DAB+∠ABD=180∘
i.e.,∠ADB+80∘+70∘=180∘
⟹∠ADB=180∘−150∘=30∘

Answer: Option A. -> 9 cm
:
A
We know that the radius of the circle is half of the diameter.
Therefore, if diameter is 18, then radius is half of 18, which is 9 cm.

Answer: Option C. -> Half of Circumference
:
C
The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference.
Semi-circle is half of the circle and its circumference is half of a circle’s circumference.
