    Question

    Let two chords AB and AC of the larger circle touch the

    smaller circle having same centre at X and Y. Then XY = ?
    A BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B ½ BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1/3 BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ¼ BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ax = Ay tangent XB from ∆OXB = R²-r² = XB ---(1) YC from ∆OYC = R²-r²=YC ---(2) Ax = AY = R2 – r 2 -----(3) AY = YC and AX = XB by 1,2 and 3 that x and Y will be midpoint of AB & AC that means by thele’s theorm XY ‖ BC So, => xy = ½ BC
