Detailed Solution

We know the length of two tange form a point to circle are of equal length
RQ = RS and SP = SC = y
Let  RQ = RS = y
SP = SC = y
Given AB = 10
AB = AR + RB
AR = AB – RB
RP = 10 – r
PR = PQ – RQ
PQ = PR – RQ
10 – x – x
= 10 – 27
SQ = SP +PQ = y+10-2x = SD
AB = CD = 10
CD = CS + SD
CD – CS = SD
SD= 10 -2x +y
CD = CS + SD
10 = y + 10 – 2x + y
10 = 10 – 2x +2y
Question Image x = y
 RS = RP + PQ + PS
PQ = x    PQ = 10 – x   PS = y
Rs = x +10 – 2x + y
= 10 -  x + y
X = y
RS = 10 – x + y
RS = 10
