Correct Answer: 6
Solution : Given: ABC is a right-angled triangle. $\angle$ABC = 90°, $\angle$ACB = 60°, and the radius of the smaller circle is 2 cm. $\angle$ACB = 60° so, $\angle$ACP = $\angle$PCB = 30° In $\triangle$CPD, $\sin30°=\frac{PD}{CP}$ ⇒ CP = 2 × 2 = 4 cm In $\triangle$CQE, $\sin30°=\frac{QE}{CQ}$ ⇒ CQ = 2QE Now, CQ = CP + OP + OQ ⇒ 2QE = 4 + 2 + QE ⇒ OQ = 6 cm So, the radius of the larger circle is 6 cm. Hence, the correct answer is 6.
