Let us take r= radius of circle.
AB=2 r
Circumference of circle = 2*pi*r
Statement 1: CD=AB/2.
CD=r
2(AB+CD) =2( 2r + r) =6r.
Circumference of circle = 6.28r
6.28r is greater than 6 r.
Statement 1 is sufficient.

Statement 2. x = 90 degree
Max value of CD can be 2r.
Min value of CD will tend to 0.
2(AB+CD) will range from 8 r to 4 r. 6.28 r will lie in between 8 r and 4 r.
So it is not sufficient.

Solution

We need to find whether circumference of the circle is more than 2(AB+CD) or not.

•The circumference of the circle= $$2*π *r =2* 3.14*r$$, where r is the radius of the circle.
• Since AB passes through the centre of the circle, AB is the diameter of the circle.
o AB=2r
o 2(AB+CD) = 2(2r+CD)
 2(2r+CD) is greater than $$2*3.14*r$$ if CD is greater than $$1.14r$$.

Thus, If $$CD> 1.14r$$, then:
• Yes, the circumference of the circle with center O is greater than 2(AB + CD).
• No, the circumference of the circle with center O is NOT greater than 2(AB + CD)

Statement-1$$CD = \frac{AB}{2}$$”.

AB passes through the centre of the circle. Hence, AB is the diameter of the circle.

• $$AB= 2r$$
• $$CD=r$$
o $$r< 1.14r$$

Hence, Statement 1 alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Statement-2$$x = 90$$”.

Since the value of angle $$x$$ does not give us information about the length of CD, Statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
