As per the given question,

NJ = 3,

NK = x,

LN = 2,

And

NM = 6.



when two chords intersects each other, then the product of their segments is equal.

JN x NK = LN x NM

Now, substituting the values,

3×x=2×6\Rightarrow 3\times x=2\times 6


x=123=4\Rightarrow x = \frac{12}{3} = 4

x=4\Rightarrow x = 4
