Correct Answer: 20 cm
Solution : 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. ⇒ MN is the diameter. ⇒ MN = 2(OM) ⇒ 40 = 2(OM) ⇒ OM = 20 cm Hence, the correct answer is 20 cm.
