In a circle of radius $11$ cm, $CD$ is a diameter and $AB$ is a chord of length $20.5$ cm. If $AB$ and $CD$ intersect at a point $E$ inside the circle and $CE$ has length $7$ cm, then the difference of the lengths of $BE$ and $AE$, in cm, is

Three circles of equal radii touch (but not cross) each other externally. Two other circles, X and Y, are drawn such that both touch (but not cross) each of the three previous circles. If the radius of X is more than that of Y, the ratio of the radii of X and Y is

On a triangle $A B C$, a circle with diameter $B C$ is drawn, intersecting $A B$ and $A C$ at points $P$ and $Q$, respectively. If the lengths of $A B, A C$, and $C P$ are $30 \mathrm{~cm}, 25 \mathrm{~cm}$, and $20 \mathrm{~cm}$ respectively, then the length of $BQ$ , in cm , is
