Answer :
Given that OP = 5 cm
And AB = 24cm
We know that a perpendicular drawn from the center of a circle on its chord bisects
the chord.
∴ AP = PB = 12 cm
In the right angled ΔOAP using Pythagoras theorem,
⇒ OA2 = OP2 + AP2
⇒ OA2 = 52 + 122
⇒ OA2 = 25 + 144
⇒ OA2 = 169
⇒ OA = 13cm
Hence, The correct option is B.
