Question

How many chords of a circle can we draw? Choose the correct answer
a. 1
b. 2
c. 4
d. any number

Answer 1

Hint: In this type of problem remember the definition properties of the circle and how the chord is formed and is it possible to create more than one chord or not. If the answer is yes then ask yourself how many chords can be made if not defined then must be n numbers infinite, etc.

Complete step by step answer:
We know that chord is formed by joining any two points on the boundary of a circle, we can form many chords joining any two points on the circle.
Or the line segment with its ends-points lying on a circle consisting of all the points is called the interior of a circle.

For example,
In the given figure,
PQ, BC, RS, AB all are chord.
Similarly, we can draw n numbers of chord joining two lines.

The correct option is d. Any number.

Note:
A chord of a circle passing through its center is equal to its diameter. Remember the concept behind the term which is asking- what is tangent? What is a chord? What is the radius? What is the diameter? find the correct option, use your memory to remember the definitions.
