STATEMENT - 1: The locus of the middle points of equal chords of a circle with centre at 0 is a circle with centre at 0 STATEMENT - 2 : The mid point of the equal chords are equidistant from the centre of the circle.

  • A. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is True, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement - 1
  • B. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is True : Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement- -
  • C. Statement - 1 is True, Statement - 2 is False
  • D. Statement-1 is False, Statement- - 2 is True

Step-by-step solution

In a circle, equal chords are equidistant from the centre. The midpoints of these chords lie on a circle concentric with the original circle, whose radius is the distance from the centre to any such chord. Thus Statement 1 is true, and Statement 2 correctly explains why.
