Correct Answer: 10 cm
Solution : Distance of perpendicular from centre to chord, $OD=3$ cm Length of chord, $AB=8$ cm We know that perpendicular from the centre to the chord bisects the chord. So, $AD=BD = 4$ cm Radius = $OB$ In $\Delta OBD$ $OB^2=BD^2+OD^2$ ⇒ $OB^2=4^2+3^2$ ⇒ $OB=5$ cm ⇒ Diameter, $AB = 2OB = 10$ cm Hence, the correct answer is 10 cm.
