IMO A

The angle between a tangent and a radius is 90°

So triangle POT is right angle triangle.

Using pythagoras theorem, OP^2 = OT^2 + PT^2
100 = 36 + PT^2

PT = 8

Little Johnny wants to eat a candy (circular in shape) using chopsticks! For this he makes sure that one end of either chopstick is touching the other (held in his hand) and the other end is used to hold the candy, as shown in the figure below. If his mom wants him to maintain a distance of at least 10 cm between his hands and his mouth while eating, what is the minimum length (in cm) of chopsticks required by him to eat the candy using chopsticks? (Assume that both the chopsticks are of equal length and that the radius of the candy is 6 cm.)


A. 8
B. 9
C. 10
D. 11
E. 12

Use Pythagorean Triple set concept, (3,4,5)

So, Length for the chopstick will be (6,8,10) Multiply 2 * (3,4,5)

Hence, Answer must be (A) 8
