    In the given figure below, a circle with centre O. AB and CD are its two diameters perpendicular to each other. The length of chord AC is

    A)  2 AB                           

    B)  \[\sqrt{2}AB\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}AB\]                                 

    D)  \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}AB\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    (d) \[OA=OB=OC=\frac{AB}{2}\] \[\therefore \]\[AC=\sqrt{O{{A}^{2}}+O{{C}^{2}}}\] =\[\sqrt{{{\left( \frac{AB}{2} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{AB}{2} \right)}^{2}}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{A{{B}^{2}}+A{{B}^{2}}}{4}}=\sqrt{\frac{A{{B}^{2}}}{2}}=\frac{AB}{\sqrt{2}}\]
