I think the answer is B..

(1) The length of AC is less than the length of BC..... we can't calculate the measure of x from this , so, this statement is insufficient

(2) The length of AB is one-fourth the circumference of the circle.

Let us assume the radius of the circle is r

Therefore 2πr = 360 degree
AB = (1/4)*2πr
therefore the central angle x = (360/2πr)*( (1/4)*2πr )= 90 degree, So, statement 2 is sufficient


Hi, can you please elaborate the formula used here for the central angle ? ( for statement 2 )

In the figure above, does x = 90?
(1) The length of AC is less than the length of BC.
(2) The length of AB is one-fourth the circumference of the circle.
Solution:
Pre Analysis:
  • \(\angle X\) will be equal to \(90^o\) iff AB is the diameter of the circle
  • So, the question is asking us if AB is the diameter or not

Statement 1: The length of AC is less than the length of BC
  • This doesn't prove if AB is the diameter or not
  • Thus, statement 1 alone is not sufficient and we can eliminate options A and D

Statement 2: The length of AB is one-fourth the circumference of the circle
  • According to this statement, \(AB=\frac{2\pi r}{4}=\frac{\pi r}{2}≠2r≠diamter\)
  • This statement clearly states that AB is not the diameter

Hence the right answer is Option B
