Correct Answer: 12 cm


Solution : Given that two chords AB and CD intersect each other at point P.
AB = 20 cm, PB = 12 cm, and CP = 8 cm
If two chords AB and CD intersect each other at point P inside the circle, then
AP $×$ PB = CP $×$ PD
⇒ (20 - 12) $×$ 12 = 8 $×$ PD
⇒ 8$×$ 12 = 8 $×$ PD
⇒ PD = 12 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 12 cm.
