Correct Answer: 24 cm


Solution :
The length of the radius is 12 cm.
Let O be the circle's centre, and let C be the point on the circumference.
Using, If an angle subtended by a chord on the circumference of a circle is 90 degrees, then the chord is the circle's diameter.
So, MN is the diameter.
Radius = OM = ON = 12 cm
$\therefore$ MN = 2 × (OM) = 2 × (ON) = 12 × 2 = 24 cm
Hence, the correct answer is 24 cm.
