CIRCLES MCQs
:
The boundary of the circle is called its circumference and the value of circumference is 2πr (where r is the radius of the circle). If we cut a circle and form a line from it, then the length of the line will be the same as the circumference of the circle.
:
A
A chord is a line which touches the circle at two distinct points on its circumference.
A segment is an area cut by a chord in a circle and hence cannot be a chord.
An arc is a part of the circumference and hence cannot be a chord.
The radius is not a chord as it does not touch the circle at two points on its circumference.
The diameter is a chord since it touches the circle at two points on its circumference.

A and D
ΔAOB is an isosceles triangle (OA = OB; Radii),
⇒∠OAB=∠OBA=50∘.
In ΔAOB,
∠OAB+∠OBA+∠AOB=180∘
Hence, ∠AOB=80∘
The angle subtended by an arc of the circle at its centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
Therefore, ∠ACB=12∠AOB=40∘.
:
D
An angle formed by the diameter of a circle at its circumference equals 90∘.Hence, the value of x is 90∘.
:
B
The opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary to each other. Hence, the sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is 180∘.
:
A, B, and D
(i) A perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle acts as a perpendicular bisector to the chord.
(ii) Congruent arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre. These angles are equal but not always a right angle. A right angle is subtended only when the arc is a semicircle.
(iii) Right angles will be subtended by congruent arcs only when they are semicircles.
(iv) If two chords are drawn at a same distance from the centre of a circle, they will be equal in length.
