Question : In the given figure, PAB is a secant and PT is a tangent to the circle from P. If PT = 5 cm, PA = 4 cm and AB = x cm, then x is: 

Option 1: $\frac{4}9$ cm

Option 2: $\frac{9}4$ cm

Option 3: 5 cm

Option 4: $\frac{2}{3}$ cm

Team Careers360 23rd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\frac{9}4$ cm


Solution : Given, PT = 5 cm, PA = 4 cm and AB = x cm,
Secant PB = (4 + x) cm.
As we know when a tangent and secant are drawn from a common point outside the circle, then the square of the tangent

Question : If the radius of two circles is 6 cm and 9 cm and the length of the transverse common tangent is 20 cm, then find the distance between the two centres.

Option 1: 25 cm

Option 2: 22 cm

Option 3: 24 cm

Option 4: 27 cm

Team Careers360 22nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25 cm


Solution : According to the question
Length of traverse common target = 20 cm
$r_1$ = 6 cm and $r_2$ = 9 cm
Now,
⇒ Length of traverse common target = $\sqrt{d^{2} - (r_1 + r_2)^{2}}$ 
⇒ $(20)^{2} = \sqrt{d^{2} - (r1 + r2)^{2}}$ 
⇒ 400
