Correct Answer: 48 cm
Solution : Given, the radius of the circle = 24 cm Let the angle formed by the chord on the circumference be x. Then, the angle formed by the same chord on the centre is 2x. According to the question, 2x + x = 270° ⇒ x = 90° It means the chord is the diameter as the diameter makes the 90° angle on the circumference. Length of this chord = diameter = 2 × 24 = 48 Hence, the correct answer is 48 cm.
