Therefore,
OC bisects AB at C
AC = (1/2) AB
⇒ AC = (1/2) 16
⇒ AC = 8 cm
In triangle OAC,
OA2 = OC2 + AC2
⇒ 102 = OC2 + 82
⇒ 100 = OC2 + 64
⇒ OC2= 36
⇒ OC= 6

⇒ OQ2 = 52 - 32
⇒ OQ2= 25 - 9
⇒ OQ2= 16
⇒ OQ = 4 cm

Hence, distance between chords = 1 cm.
(ii)
Let radius OA = OC = 5 cm
Chord AB = 8 cm
Chord CD = 6 cm
AP = (1/2) AB
⇒ AP = (1/2) 8 = 4 cm
CQ = (1/2) CD
⇒ CQ = (1/2) 6 = 3 cm
In triangle OAP,
OP2 = OA2 - AP2
⇒ OP2 = 52 - 42
⇒ OP2= 25 - 16
⇒ OP2= 9
⇒ OP = 3 cm
In triangle OQD,
OQ2 = OC2 - CQ2
⇒ OQ2 = 52 - 32
⇒ OQ2= 25 - 9

In triangle OAP,
OP2 = OA2 - AP2
⇒ OP2 = 172 - 152
⇒ OP2= 289 - 225
⇒ OP2= 64
⇒ OP = 8 cm
In triangle OQD,
OQ2 = OC2 - CQ2
⇒ OQ2 = 172 - 82
⇒ OQ2= 289 - 64
⇒ OQ2= 225

Thus, Assertion (A) is true.
Clearly, reason (R) given Assertion (A).
Hence, the correct choice is A.
The question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer:
A. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
B. Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
C. Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
D. Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
Clearly, reason (R) is true.
Assertion (A) :
OA = 13cm
OL = 12cm
In ΔOAL,
AL2 = OA2 – OL2
AL2 = (13)2 – (12)2
AL2 = 169 – 144
OL = = 5cm
Now, AB = 2 × AL = 2 × 5 = 10cm
Thus, Assertion (A) is true

Here, in ΔABC
By angle sum property
∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°
70° + 30° + ∠CAB = 180°
∠CAB = 180° – 70° – 30° = 80°
∠CAB = ∠BDC = 80° (angles in same segment)
But given that ∠BDC = 70°
∴ Assertion(A) is wrong.
Reason (R) :
∠ ADC = ∠ AOC = × 130° = 65°
∠ ABC + ∠ ADC = 180°
∠ ABC + 65° = 180°
∠ABC = 180° – 65° = 115°
Reason (R) is true
Assertion (A) :
∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠BAC = 180°
70° + 30° + ∠BAC = 180°
∠BAC = 180° – 70° – 30°
∠ BAC = 80°
∴ ∠BDC = ∠BAC = 80° (angles in the same segment)
This is false.
Thus, Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is true.
Hence, correct choice is D

∠OCB = ∠OBC (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
∴ ∠ OBA = 55°
Now, by angle sum property
∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°
∠BOC + 55° + 55° = 180°
∠BOC = 180° – 55° – 55° = 70°
∴ ∠BOC = 70°
Here,
∠AOB = ∠AOC + ∠BOC
120° = ∠AOC + 70°
∠AOC = 120° – 70°
∠AOC = 50°

∠EOC + ∠COD = 90°
60° + ∠COD = 90°
∠COD = 90° – 60° = 30°
Now,
∠ AOC = ∠AOD + ∠COD = 90° + 30° = 120°
We know that ,
∠ COD = 2×∠CBD
∠ COD = ∠CBD
∠CBD = × 120° = 60°

Therefore we can say that diameter passing through Q bisects and
Prove that there is one and only one circle passing through three non – collinear points.
Given: Three non collinear points P, Q and R
Construction: Join PQ and QR.
Draw perpendicular bisectors AB of PQ and CD of QR. Let the perpendicular bisectors intersect at the point O.
Now join OP, OQ and OR.
A circle is obtained passing through the points P, Q and R.
Proof:
We know that,
Every point on the perpendicular bisector of a line segment is equidistant from its ends
points.
Thus, OP = OQ (Since, O lies on the perpendicular bisector of PQ)
and OQ = OR. (Since, O lies on the perpendicular bisector of QR)
So, OP = OQ = OR.
Let OP = OQ = OR = r.
Now, draw a circle C(O, r) with O as centre and r as radius.
Then, circle C(O, r) passes through the points P, Q and R.
Next, we prove this circle is the only circle passing through the points P, Q and R.
If possible, suppose there is a another circle C(O′, t) which passes through the points P, Q, R.
Then, O′ will lie on the perpendicular bisectors AB and CD.
But O was the intersection point of the perpendicular bisectors AB and CD.
So, O ′ must coincide with the point O. (Since, two lines cannot intersect at more than one point)
As, O′P = t and OP = r; and O ′ coincides with O, we get t = r .
Therefore, C(O, r) and C(O, t) are congruent.
Thus, there is one and only one circle passing through three the given non – collinear points.
