Questions and Answers

Q 1 - In which quadrant does the point (4, - 6) lies?

A - First

B - second

C - third

D - fourth

Answer : D

Explanation

The point (4,-6) lies in 4th quadrant

Q 2 - The separation of the point p (8, - 6) from the beginning is:

A - 2 units

B - 14 units

C - 10 units

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

Op = √ (8-0)2+ (-6-0)2 = √64+ 36    = √100 =10 unit

Q 3 - A will be a point on y-pivot at a separation of 4unit from y-hub lying underneath x-hub. The co-ordinates of an are:

A - (4, 0)

B - (0, 4)

C - (- 4, 0)

D - (0, - 4)

Answer : D

Explanation

Clearly, The co- ordinates Of A are A (0,-4).

Q 4 - The focuses A (1,- 3) ,B(13,9) ,C(10,12) and D(- 2,0) taken all together are the vertices of :

A - A rectangle

B - a rhombus

C - a square

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

vertices
AB2= (13-1) 2+ (9+3) 2= (144+144) = 288.
BC2= (10-13) 2+ (12-9) 2= (9+9) = 18
CD2= ((10+2) 2+ (12-0) 2= (144+144) = 288
AD2= (-2-1) 2+ (0+3) 2= (9+9) = 18
∴ ab= cd and BC= AD
Diag AC2= (10-1) 2+ (12+3) 2= (81+225) = 306
Diag BD2= (-2-13) 2+ (0-9) 2= (225+81) = 306
∴Diag AC= Diag BD
∴ ABCD is a rectangle.

Q 5 - The vertices of a ∆ ABC are A (- 3, 0), B (5, - 2) and C (- 8, 5). The centroid of ∆ABC is:

A - (- 1,2)

B - (- 2,1)

C - 1,2

D - (2,- 1)

Answer : B

Explanation

Centroid = {1/3 (x₁ +x₂+Xᴈ), 1/3
 (y₁+y₂+yᴈ)} = {1/3(-3+5-8), 1/3 (0-2+5)}
 = (-2, 1)

Q 6 - Two vertices of a ∆ ABC are B (- 3, 1) and C (0, - 2) and its centroid is at the inception. The Third vertex A is:

A - (3, 1)

B - (2, 3)

C - (- 1, 2)

D - (- 2, 3)

Answer : A

Explanation

  Let the vertex A be (a, b). Then,
 1/3 (-3+0+a) =0 and 1/3 (1-2+b) =0
 = -3 +a =0 and -1 +b=0 ⇒ a=3 and b= 1
 ∴ Vertex A is A (3, 1)

Q 7 - In what proportion is the line portion joining the focuses A (6, 3) and B (- 2, - 5) partitioned by the x-hub?

A - 3:2

B - 3:5

C - 1:2

D - 2:5

Answer : C

Explanation

  Let x-axis cut the join of A (6, 3) and B (-2,-5) in the ratio ℏ:1 at the point.
 Then, co-ordinates of P are P [(-2ℏ+6/ℏ+1), (-5ℏ+3/ℏ+1)
 But, P lies on x-axis. So, its ordinate is 0. 
 ∴ -5ℏ+3/ℏ+1 =0 ⇒ -5ℏ+3 =0 ⇒ ℏ= 3/5
 Required ratio is 3/5:1 i.e., 1:2.

Q 8 - On the off chance that for a line m= tan ℴ =0 then the line is

A - Flat

B - vertical

C - slanted

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

When m=0, the line is vertical.

Q 9 - The mathematical statement of a line going through the focuses A(- 1,1) and B(2,- 4) is:

A - 3x+5y+2 = o

B - 5x+3y+2 =0

C - 2x+3y+5 =0

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

The equation of the line is (y-y₁)/(x-x₁) =
 (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
 i.e., (y-1)/(x+1) = -4-1/2+1 ⇒ (y-1)/(x+1) = -5/3
 ⇒ 3y-3= -5x-5 ⇒ 5x+3y+2 = 0

Q 10 - The estimation of ℏ for which the line x+2y-9= 0 and ℏx+4y+5 =0 are parallel, is

A - ℏ= 2

B - ℏ= 1

C - ℏ= - 1

D - ℏ = - 2

Answer : A

Explanation

Since the given lines are parallel, we have 1/ℏ =2/4 ⇒ ℏ = 2
