Detailed Solution

Since, the circles are congruent i.e., the radii of both the circles will be equal
Let us consider two circles with centres O and O’
   Question Image In OAB and O'CD
OA = O’C   (radii of congruent circles)
OB = O’D   (radii of congruent circles)
AOB=CO'   (given)
By SSS congruence,
OAB  O'CD AB = CD (by CPCT)
Thus, chords of both the circles are equal.
Hence, the given statement is true.
