Hi rajudantuluri,
It is not mentioned anywhere that PR is the diameter of the circle, so you can not assume that PQR is a right angled triangle.
The answer is E.
the two point P and R lies on the surface of the circle and the line PR passes through the radius then PR should be the diameter (in my opinion).
Take perpendicular bisector as T in the diagram. Take angle PRQ as X. Since triangle PQT is similar to triangle PQR.
b/c=(a+c)/b..
i.e., b^2=c(a+c).
the answer choice 1)provide a+C=12. but the value of c or a cannot be found .so , it is insufficient
2)ac=12 but the value of c or a cannot be found .so , it is insufficient.
combining two equation also does not provide solution. so answer is E
