Question

From the below figure the value of x= _____.

• A. 2021 cm
• B. 2022 cm
• C. 2220 cm
• D. 2020 cm

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, we analyze the geometry of the figure shown.

1. Understanding the Figure:
From point $P$, two tangents are drawn to a circle — one touches at point $A$ and the other at point $B$.
Given that the length of one tangent $PA = 2022$ cm, and we are asked to find $x = PB$.

2. Property of Tangents from an External Point:
The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are always equal.
So,
$PA = PB$

3. Substituting the Value:
$ x = PB = PA = 2022 \, \text{cm} $

Final Answer:
The value of $x$ is $ {2022 \, \text{cm}} $.
