A secant is drawn from a point P to a circle P to a circle so that it meets the circle first at A, then goes through the centre, and leaves the circle at B. If the length of the tangent from P to the circle is 12 cm, and the radius of the circle is 5 cm, then the distance from P to A is:
एक छेदक रेखा को एक बिंदु P से एक वृत्त तक खींचा जाता है ताकि वह वत्त में पहले A से मिल जाए, फिर केंद्र से होकर जाता है, और B पर वृत्त छोड़ता है। यदि P से वृत्त की स्पश्रेखा की लंबाई है 12 सेमी, और वृत्त की त्रिज्या 5 सेमी है, फिर P से A की दूरी है:

A

8 cm

B

12 cm

C

18 cm

D

10 cm
