the answer of this question is 18 but there is no any option which contains 18

Question:

     In the given figure, AB=30 cm and CD=24cm. What is the value (in cm) of MN? 

  

Options:
A)

     18

B)

     9

C)

     12

D)

     15

Solution:

 

    

AB = 30cm 

CD = 24cm

AD=AB-CD2 +CD=30-242 +24=27cm   

Since the circle are concentric, the length of all tangents to the smaller circle will be equal. 

Draw AE as tangent to smaller circle

AE=2AC×AD          =MN=2×3×27AE=MN=18cm
