This question is similar to Ex 10.2, 8 - Chapter 10 Class 10 Circles
From Ex 10.2, 8 – Chapter 10 Class 10 In a quadrilateral circumscribing the circle, Sum of opposite sides is equal Thus, in quadrilateral PQRS PQ + SR = PS + QR 12 + 14 = PS + 15 26 − 15 = PS 11 = PS PS = 11 Hence, PS = 11 cm So, the correct answer is (d)
