Correct Answer: $20 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~cm}$
Solution : Given: $\triangle A B C$ inscribe in a circle with centre O. AB = 9 cm, BC = 40 cm, and AC = 41 cm Also, we can see $9^2+40^2=1681=41^2$ So, it is a right triangle. Hypotenuse = AC = 41 cm For any right-angled triangle, Circumradius $= \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Hypotenuse}= \frac{1}{2} \times 41= \frac{41}{2} = 20\frac{1}{2}\ \text{cm}$ Hence, the correct answer is $20\frac{1}{2}\ \text{cm}$.
