    Question

    In a circle, two chords of lengths x and y subtend the angles of 60° and 90° at the center respectively. Which of the following is correct in this scenario?

    A.

    y=2xy = \sqrt{2}x​​

    B.

    y = 2x

    C.

    y = 2y

    D.

    y =3x

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    - Two chords in a circle with lengths x and y.

    - Chord of length x subtends an angle of 60° at the center.

    - Chord of length y subtends an angle of 90° at the center.

    Solution: 

    Let the radius of the circle be r 

    Length of chord a = r      ....(1)        (all angles are 60°)

    Length of chord b = r√2      ....(2)          (chord b is making an isosceles right angle   triangle)

    From equation 1 and 2 

    b = a√2
