  • Question
  • Of all the chords of a circle passing through a given point in it, the smallest is that which :


  • Options
  • A. Is trisected at the point
  • B. Is bisected at the point
  • C. Passes through the centre
  • D. None of these

  • Correct Answer
  • None of these 

    Explanation

    Let C(O, r) is a circle and let M is a point within it where O is the centre and r is the radius of the circle.
    Let CD is another chord passes through point M.
    We have to prove that AB < CD.
    Now join OM and draw OL perpendicular to CD.
    In right angle triangle OLM,
    OM is the hypotenuse.
    So OM > OL
    ? chord CD is nearer to O in comparison to AB.
    ? CD > AB
    ? AB < CD
    So all chords of a circle of a circle at a given point within it, the smallest is one which is bisected at that point.
    Hence required answer will be option D .
