Correct Answer: 10 cm
Solution : Given, the radius of the circle = 10 cm Angle made by chord AB at the centre of this circle = 60° OA = OB = 10 cm OAB is an isosceles triangle. So, $\angle$OAB = $\angle$OAB = $\frac{180^\circ-60^\circ}{2}=60^\circ$ [by angle sum property.] Since, $\angle$OAB = $\angle$OBA = $\angle$AOB = 60$^\circ$, OAB is an equilateral triangle. So, OA = OB = AB = 10 cm Hence, the correct answer is 10 cm.
