Detailed Solution

Given,
A circle with center = O
A right-angled triangle = ABC
BC=6 and
AB=8
By using Pythagoras Theorem, we have
AC2=AB2+BC2
AC=62+82
AC=10
Now, we have found the radius by using of following formula
Radius =2× Area  Perimeter 
Radius =2×12×6×810+8+6
Radius = 2 cm
Correct option is 2.
