Correct Answer: 54 cm


Solution :
In a circle, a chord that subtends an angle of 180° at the centre is the diameter of the circle.
This is because a 180° angle at the centre of a circle spans half the circle, which is the definition of a diameter.
So, if the chord PQ subtends an angle of 180° at the centre and its length is 54 cm, then the diameter of the circle is also 54 cm.
Hence, the correct answer is 54 cm.
