The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is (C):
Let the 6 cm long chord be x cm away from the centre of the circle. Let the radius of the circle be r cm.
The perpendiculars from the centre of the circle to the chords bisect the chords.
r2=x2+32=(x+1)2+22
Solving, x=2 and r=√13
