Q9 of 63 Page 156

If a diameter of a circle bisects each of the two chords then the chords will be—


AB and CD are two chords.


Let EF be the diameter of the circle.


We know that if a radius bisects a chord, then it is perpendicular to the chord.


⇒ EF ⊥ CD and EF ⊥ AB


∴ AB || CD


∴ If a diameter bisects each of the chords, then the chords will be parallel.
