Question 11.


The collection of all the points in a plane, which are at a fixed distance from a fixed point in the plane is called ______.


  1.     rectangle
  2.     square
  3.     rhombus
  4.     circle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> circle
:
D

Circle is the set of all the points in a plane which are at a given distance from a fixed point in the plane. That fixed point is known as the centre of the circle. 


Question 12.


If sum of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180, then the quadrilateral is a _____.


  1.     trapezium
  2.     cyclic quadrilateral
  3.     kite
  4.     parallelogram
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> cyclic quadrilateral
:
B

A quadrilateral is called cyclic if all the four vertices of it lie on a circle and the sum of its opposite angles is 180.


Question 13.


In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle. Find the value of X.


In The Given Figure, O Is The Centre Of The Circle. Find The...


  1.     30
  2.     40
  3.     50
  4.     100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 50
:
C

In the figure, ABD=50
Since the angles subtended by an arc in the same segment are equal, we have ABD=ACD.
X=ACD=50


Question 14.


In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle. Find x.


In The Given Figure, O Is The Centre Of The Circle. Find X....


  1.     50
  2.     40
  3.     30
  4.     20
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 40
:
B

The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
GivenABC=50, 
AOC=2 ABC=2×50=100

Also, since OA and OC are radii of the circle, OA=OC.
OAC=OCA
In AOC,
x+x+AOC=180.
2x=180AOC=180100=80
x=40


Question 15.


The longest chord of a circle is called a ___ of the circle.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 40
:

Chord is a line segment that joins two points on the circumference of a circle. Diameter is the longest chord of a circle which passes through centre joining the two points on the circumference of a circle.


Question 16.


Which of the following cannot be a cyclic quadrilateral?


  1.     Square 
  2.     Rectangle 
  3.     Parallelogram
  4.     Isosceles Trapezium 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Parallelogram
:
C

A quadrilateral is cyclic if its opposite angles are supplementary.
In square, rectangle and isosceles trapezium, the opposite angles are supplementary, that is, the sum of the opposite angles is 180.

In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are equal and may not add to 180. Hence, a parallelogram cannot be a cyclic quadrilateral.


Question 17.


AB Is A Chord Of A Circle With Centre O. ∠x=90∘


AB is a chord of a circle with centre O. 


x=90


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     50
  4.     100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

The line drawn through the centre of a circle perpendicularly bisects a chord.
Hence, x=90.


Question 18.


In the given figure, A, B and C are three points on the circle with centre O such that BOC=30 and AOB=60. If D is a point on the circle that is not on the arc ABC, then find ADC.
In The Given Figure, A, B And C Are Three Points On The cir...


  1.     (902)
  2.     45
  3.     (602)
  4.     30
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> (902)
:
A and B

It can be observed that AOC=AOB+BOC=60+30=90.
We know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
So,ADC=12AOC=12×90=45
ADC=45


Question 19.


ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals intersect at a point E. If DBC=80 and BAC=40, then find BCD.
ABCD Is A Cyclic Quadrilateral Whose Diagonals Intersect At ...
 


  1.     60
  2.     80
  3.     50
  4.     40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 60
:
A

Given that BAC=40 and DBC=80.
Since the angles formed by the same segment are equal,
BDC=BAC=40.
In ΔBDC,
BDC+DBC+BCD=180.     [Angle sum property]
i.e., 40+80+BCD=180
BCD=180120=60


Question 20.


A chord AB of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the angles subtended by the chord at points on the major arc and the minor arc.
A Chord AB Of A Circle Is Equal To The Radius Of The Circle....


  1.     150,30
  2.     120,60
  3.     30,150
  4.     60,120
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 30,150
:
C

A Chord AB Of A Circle Is Equal To The Radius Of The Circle....
In ΔOAB
AB = OA = OB = radius of the circle.
ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.
Therefore, each interior angle of this triangle will be equal to 60.
AOB=60.
Since 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, we have 
ACB=12AOB=12×60=30. 
Now in the cyclic quadrilateral ACBD,
ACB+ADB=180.           [Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]
ADB=180ACB=18030=150
Therefore, the angles subtended by the chord  AB at a point on the major arc and the minor arc are 30 and 150 respectively.
