This comprision question is confusing


Column A = > AP * BP
Column B = > AP * CP

from picture its look like BP a diameter is CP < AP. If yes please explain.

SPOILER: B

Strange. Are you sure that you havnt forgotten some information?
If BP = diameter I still dont know anything about AP and PC.

I think the ans is not correct. Am bit confused some one gave me this question with answer. I don't like to check answer before solving. Now in my opinion

BP is diameter and diameter is the longest chord in Circle, if its correct then BP>CP aslo BP > AP, so AP* BP > AP * CP or subtracting AP from bith columns then we have BP > CP which is according to the rule. So the ans is A not B.

[Mazar760]

Yes now agree:
AP*BP > AP*CP
BP > CP ..

i think the answer is A,
AP*BP : AP* CP , since AP is in both terms, we can reduce it to BP:CP , now BP is diameter and CP is not the diameter means BP>Cp , that concludes A as the answer

HI THE ANSWER HAS TO BE
A
as BP IS THE DIAMETER and ap is common in both so AP will cancel out and remaining will be BP and cp out of which BP is greater !!!!!
so the answer is A !!
