$${{13} \over 5}$$
$${{60} \over {13}}$$
$${{120} \over {13}}$$
$${{13} \over 2}$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 12th April Morning Slot Mathematics - Circle Question 109 English Explanation C1C2 = $$\sqrt {{{12}^2} + {5^2}} $$ = 13

Area of $$\Delta $$AC1C2 = $${1 \over 2}.12.5 = {1 \over 2}.13{{AB} \over 2} \Rightarrow AB = {{120} \over {13}}units$$
