The figure above shows Line L, Circle 1 with center at C1, and Circle 2 with center at C2. Line L intersects Circle 1 at points A and B, Line L intersects Circle 2 at points D and E, and points C1 and C2 are equidistant from line L. Is the area of ΔABC1 less than the area of ΔDEC2 ?
(1) The radius of Circle 1 is less than the radius of Circle 2. (2) The length of chord AB is less than the length of chord DE.

(1) The radius of Circle 1 is less than the radius of Circle 2. (2) The length of chord AB is less than the length of chord DE.
Question stem:- Is the area of ΔABC1 less than the area of ΔDEC2 ? Or, Is \(\frac{1}{2}*AB*h<\frac{1}{2}*DE*h\) ? (points C1 and C2 are equidistant from line L) Or, Is AB<DE ?
St1:- \((C_{1}A=C_{1}B)< (C_{2}D=C_{2}E)\) As points C1 and C2 are equidistant from line L; \(C_{1}H_{1}=C_{2}H_{2}\) So AB<DE (3rd side of the triangle) (Figure enclosed) Sufficient
St2:- AB<DE Sufficient.
Ans. (D)

Can anyone please explain why D is the right choice. I am not sure why the second statement is true. Even though the length of the chord AB is smaller than the second circle, can the part where the two points intersect the line can differ, hence, can the radius of Circle with center C1 be bigger?

Hi,
Can someone please explain why statement 1 is sufficient?
My rationale is that the legs of the triangle with radius of 8 will stretch to a greater extent than the legs of the triangle, which has radius of let's say 6.

Might be a stupid question but regarding to (1)
How do I know that A-B is the radius? Couldn't it be the case that it looks like a radius but isn't exactly the radius, hence we need a statement that says "AB is the radius"?
I am confused because I've seen a similar DS question a few days ago and it was only sufficient with statement number (2) that said that a given chord is indeed the diameter / radius.
