Q68.If two parallel chords of a circle, having diameter 4 units, lie on the opposite sides of the center and subtend angles cos−1( 71 ) and sec−1(7) at the center respectively, then the distance between these chords is: (1) 8 (2) 16 √7 7 (3) 4 (4) 8 √7 7

What This Question Tests

This question combines knowledge of circle properties (chords, radius, center distance) with trigonometric identities to calculate the distance between parallel chords.

Concepts Tested
