Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

In $ \Delta DFC, $ by Pythagoras theorem $ OF^{2}=OC^{2}-CF^{2} $ and $ CF=\frac{CD}{2} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ OF=\sqrt{{{(15)}^{2}}-{{(12)}^{2}}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ OF=\sqrt{255-144}=9cm $

$ \therefore $ $ OE=21-9=12cm $ $ [\because OE=EF-OF] $ Now, in $ \Delta OEA $ $ AE=\sqrt{AO^{2}-OE^{2}}=\sqrt{{{(15)}^{2}}-{{(12)}^{2}}} $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ AE=9cm $

$ \therefore $ $ AB=9\times 2=18cm $
