उत्तर
If two chords of a circle intersect each other in the interior of the circle, then the product of the lengths of the two tangents of one chord is equal to the product of the lengths of the two segments of the other chord.
∴ AE × EB = CE × ED
⇒ 5.6 × 10 = 8 × ED
⇒ ED = \[\frac{56}{8}\] = 7 units
Hence, the correct answer is 7.

In the adjoining figure circles with centres X and Y touch each other at point Z. A secant passing through Z intersects the circles at points A and B respectively. Prove that, radius XA || radius YB. Fill in the blanks and complete the proof.
Construction: Draw segments XZ and YZ.
Proof:
By theorem of touching circles, points X, Z, Y are `square`.
∴ ∠XZA ≅ `square` ...(opposite angles)
Let ∠XZA = ∠BZY = a ...(I)
Now, seg XA ≅ seg XZ ...[Radii of the same circle]
∴∠XAZ = `square` = a ...[isosceles triangle theorem](II)
Similarly,
seg YB ≅ seg YZ ...[Radii of the same circle]
∴∠BZY = `square` = a ...[isosceles triangle theorem](III)
∴ from (I), (II), (III),
∠XAZ = `square`
∴ radius XA || radius YZ ...[`square`]
