Best answer

Let O be the centre of the circle and AB and CD be the two parallel chords of length 30 cm and 16 cm respectively.

Drop OE and OF perpendicular on AB and CD from the centre O.

OP ⊥ AB and OF ⊥ CD

∴ OE bisects AB and OF bisects CD

(Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects it)
