Q. 2.
(a)
Since AB is a tangent to the inner circle.
ODB  90 ....(tangent is  to the radius of a circle)
AB is a chord of the outer circle.
We know that, the perpendicular drawn from the
centre to a chord of a circle, bisects the chord.
 AB  2DB
In ODB,
By Pythagoras theorem,
OB2  OD2  DB2
 6.52  2.52  DB2
 DB2  6.52  2.52
 DB2  42.25  6.25
 DB2  36 cm
 DB  6 cm
AB  2DB  2(6)  12 cm

(b) Given points are A(8, 2), B(5, −3) and C(0, 0).
Using the distance formula, we get,
AC  (8  0)2  (2  0)2  68
BC  (5  0)2  ( 3  0)2  34
AB  (5  8)2  ( 3  2)2  34
Since, BC = AB, ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle.

(a) In ABC and CDE

Then, 2x + 4 = 3y + 8
2x – 3y = 4 ….(1)
Also, BC = CD
