Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

Intersecting Chords Theorem states that If two chords intersect in a circle, then the products of the measures of the segments of the chords are equal.

⇒ AE * EB = CE * ED

⇒ 6 * \(x\) = 4 * (\(x\) + 5)

⇒ 6\(x\) = 4\(x\) + 20

⇒ 6\(x\) - 4\(x\) = 20

⇒ 2\(x\) = 20

∴ \(x = \frac{20}{2}\) = 10 units

There is an explanation video available below.
