    A 100 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 120 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 150 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 200 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    r² = (r - 40)² + (r - 20)² r² = r² + 1600 - 80r + r² + 400 - 40r r² = 2r² - 120r + 2000 r² - 120r + 2000 = 0 r² - 100r - 20r + 2000 = 0 r(r - 100) - 20(r - 100) = 0 r = 20, 100 r = 100 [20 value is not satisfied]
