Correct Answer: $4\sqrt{14}$


Solution : Given: Two concentric circles of radii 15 cm and 13 cm.
We know, that the length of the chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller circle $= 2×\sqrt{R^2-r^2}$, Where $R$ and $r$ are the radii of the bigger and the smaller circle, respectively.
So, the length of the chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller circle
$= 2×\sqrt{15^2-13^2}$
$= 2×\sqrt{56}$
$= 4×\sqrt{14}$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is $4\sqrt{14}$.
