Two chords of length unit and unit of a circle make angles 60° and 90° at the centre of a circle respectively, then the correct relation is:
A.
Answer
B.
C.
D.
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:

∠AOB = 60°
∠COD = 90°
⇒ length of chord AB = a
⇒ length of chord CD = b
⇒ AO = OB = AB = OD = OC = a
⇒ In ΔODC
⇒ OD2 + OC2 = CD2
⇒ a2 + a2 = b2
⇒ b = a
