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.
