Question 62

Read the given statements and choose the correct option:
Statement I - A secant of a circle is a line segment having its end points on the circle.
Statement II - A chord is a line passing through the centre of a circle and intersecting the circle at two points.

A secant is a line that cuts a circle at two points, while a line segment with both end points on the circle is a chord, so Statement I is false. A chord need not pass through the centre; a chord through the centre is a diameter, so Statement II is false. Both statements are false.
