C Correct answer
Explanation

Let r be the radius. Distance from center to PQ = sqrt(r^2 - 4^2). Distance to RS = sqrt(r^2 - 8^2). Difference = sqrt(r^2 - 16) - sqrt(r^2 - 64) = 4. Let x = sqrt(r^2 - 64). Then sqrt(x^2 + 48) - x = 4. sqrt(x^2 + 48) = x + 4. x^2 + 48 = x^2 + 8x + 16. 8x = 32. x = 4. r^2 = 4^2 + 64 = 80. r = sqrt(80) = 4*sqrt(5).

Explanation

In an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle, the product of the segments of a chord (or secant) is constant. AX is the altitude (5 * sqrt(3) / 2) and XY is the remaining part of the diameter. Using properties of chords, AX * AY = AB * AC = 5 * 5 = 25.
