Questions and Answers

Q 1 - In the given figure , ∠POS = 90⁰. What Is the measure of ∠ROQ?

q 19

A - 30⁰

B - 45⁰

C - 90⁰

D - 180⁰

Answer : C

Explanation

∠ROQ = ∠POS (vert. opp. ∠s) = 90⁰.

Answer : A

Explanation

Two lines intersect at a point.

Q 3 - In the given figure , AB || CD, ∠ABE =35⁰, ∠CDE = 65⁰ and ∠BED =x⁰. Then, x= ?

q 27

A - 30⁰

B - 100⁰

C - 125⁰

D - 145⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

Draw GEH ||AB||CD.
∠ BHE =∠ ABE = 35⁰ (alt .∠s)
∠ DEH =∠ CDE = 65⁰ (alt .∠s)
∴∠x=∠ BEH + ∠DEH = (35⁰ +65⁰)=100⁰.

Q 4 - In the given figure , AB ll CD, ∠ABE =120⁰, ∠DCE = 100⁰ and ∠BEC =x⁰. Then, x= ?

q 29

A - 60⁰

B - 50⁰

C - 40⁰

D - 70⁰

Answer : C

Explanation

Through E draw GEH ∥ AB ∥CD
AB∥ EG and BE is the transversal.
∠ ABE +∠ GEB = 180⁰ ⇒ 120⁰ +∠GEB =180⁰ ⇒ ∠GEB = 60⁰
CD ∥EH and CE is the transversal. 
∴∠DCE +∠CEH = 180⁰  ⇒ 100⁰ + ∠CEH =180⁰  ⇒ CEH = 80⁰
NOW ∠GEB+ ∠BEC +∠CEH = 180⁰ ⇒ 60+x+80 =180 ⇒ x = 40

a 29

Q 5 - In A ∆ABC ,∠A-∠B=33⁰ and∠ B -∠C = 18⁰ . Then∠ B =?

A - 35⁰

B - 55⁰

C - 45⁰

D - 57 ⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

∠ A- ∠B = 33⁰ and ∠B -∠C =18⁰
⇒ A= 33+ B and C=B -18
= (33+B) + B + (B-18) =180
⇒ 3B =165 ⇒ B 55.
 ∴  ∠B =55⁰.

Q 6 - If ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle with ∠ C = 90⁰ and AC = 5cm , Then AB =?

A - 2.5 cm

B - 5 cm

C - 10cm

D - 5√2 cm

Answer : D

Explanation

Clearly BC =AC=5cm.
AB2 = AC2+ BC2 =52 +52= 50 ⇒ AB  = √50 = 5√2 cm.

Q 7 - The radius of a circle is 13cm and AB is a chord which is at a distance of 12cm from the center. The length of the ladder is:

A - 35 cm

B - 17.5 cm

C - 25 cm

D - 10 cm

Answer : D

Explanation

Let O be the  center of the circle and AB be the chord . Form  O, draw OL ⊥ AB. join OA.
Then, oA = 13 cm and OL = 12cm.
∴ AL2 = OA2 -OL2=(13)2 - (12)2= (169-144) =25.
=.> AL= √25 =5 cm
⇒ AB = 2 * AL =(2*5) cm = 10 cm.

a 41

Q 8 - In the given figure , O is the center of a circle and arc ABC subtends an angle of 130⁰ at O. AB is extended to P. Then ∠PBC= ?

q 48

A - 75⁰

B - 70⁰

C - 65⁰

D - 80⁰

Answer : C

Explanation

Take a point D on the remaining part of circumference of the circle. Join DA and DC
 ∠ADC = 1/2  ∠AOC = 1/2 *130⁰ = 65⁰.
Now DABC is a cyclic quadrilateral. 
&There4; ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180⁰⇒ 65⁰+ ∠ABC = 180⁰ ⇒ ∠ABC = 115⁰.
⇒∠ PBC= (180⁰ - 115⁰) =65⁰.

Q 9 - In the given figure, AOB is a diameter of the circle and CD || AB. If ∠DAB = 25⁰ ,Then ∠CAD=?

q 49

A - 45⁰

B - 40⁰

C - 65⁰

D - 115⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

AB  DC and AC is a transversal.
∴ ∠ACD = ∠CAB = 25⁰ (alt. s )
∠ACB = 90⁰ ( angle in a semicircle)
∴ ∠BCD =∠ACB + ∠ ACD=(90⁰ +25⁰)= 115⁰.
∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180⁰ ⇒ ∠BAC +∠CAD +∠BCD = 180⁰
⇒ 25⁰ +∠ CAD + 115⁰ =180⁰ ⇒ ∠CAD = 40⁰

Q 10 - The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 24cm and 18cm respectively. The length of each side of the rhombus is

A - 12 cm

B - 9 cm

C - 15 cm

D - 8 cm

Answer : C

Explanation

Let ABCD be a rhombus in which diagonal AC=24 cm and diagonal BD =18 cm . We know that the diagonal of a   rhombus bisect each other at right angle.
∴ OA = 1/2 AC =(1/2 *24 ) cm =12cm
OB = 1/2 BD = (1/2 *18 ) cm =9cm 
AB2 = OA2 + OB2 = (12) 2 +  92 = (144 +81) = 225 
⇒ AB = √225 = 15 cm.
∴ Each side of the rhombus is 15 cm.
