Question

If P is any point in the interior of a circle with centre O and radius ‘r’, then ______.

Options

• OP = r

• OP > r

• OP < r

• OP = 2r

Answer 1

If P is any point in the interior of a circle with centre O and radius ‘r’, then OP < r.

Explanation:

By definition a circle with centre O and radius r is the set of all points at distance exactly r from O the circumference.

Any point P in the interior lies closer to O than the circumference, so OP is less than r.
