Construction of circle: 1 Mark
Construction of chords: 1 Mark
Construction of bisector: 1 Mark
Meeting point: 1 Mark
i) Mark any point C on the sheet. Now, by adjusting the compass up to 3 cm and by putting the pointer of compass, draw the circle. It is the required circle of 3 cm radius.
ii) Take any two chords AB and CD in the circle.
iii) Taking A and B as centres and with radius more than half of AB, draw arcs on both sides of AB, intersecting each other at E, F. Join EF which is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
iv) Taking C and D as centres and with radius more than half of CD, draw arcs on both sides of CD, intersecting each other at G and H . Join GH which is the perpendicular bisector of CD.
Now, we find that EF and GH meet at the centre of circle O.

Question 55.


Draw a circle with center O with radius 5 cm. Draw any one of the diameters. With same center A, draw another circle with radius 3 cm. Draw any one of the diameters for this circle too. If you join the ends of both the diameters, the figure you will get is:


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

A

Draw the circles and the diameters. You will get:


Draw A Circle With Center O with Radius 5 Cm. Draw Any One ...


 


If you mark the diameter of smaller circle as AB and larger circle as CD, after joining them you will get:

Fig. ABCD is a parallelogram. When AB is perpendicular to CD, ABCD becomes a rhombus.


Question 56.


If AB is perpendicular to CD and PQ is perpendicular to AB, which of the following is/are true?


  1.     CD is parallel to PQ
  2.     CD is perpendicular to PQ
  3.     Both A & B
  4.     None of the above 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> CD is parallel to PQ

A

If you draw everything according to the given question, you would get: 


If AB Is Perpendicular To CD And PQ Is Perpendicular To AB, ...


 


We can see that PQ is parallel to CD or vice-versa.


Question 57.


Which is the easiest and most accurate method to copy a given line segment AB?


  1.     Tracing it using a transparent paper
  2.     Using a ruler
  3.     Using a compass and ruler
  4.     Using a set square of (306090)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Using a compass and ruler
:
C

Tracing the line may not give accurate result. Similarly, measuring using a ruler may give wrong results depending upon the angle of viewing. Using a compass and a ruler would be the easiest and most accurate method to copy a given line segment AB.


Question 58.


Draw a line AB. At A, draw an arc of length 3cm using compass such that it intersects AB at O. With the same spread of compass, put the compass pointer at O and make an arc that intersects the previous arc at P. With the same spread again, put the compass pointer at P and draw an arc that intersects the first arc at Q. Join A and Q. Using the protractor, measure QAB. What is the value of QAB.


  1.     30
  2.     60
  3.     90

If you measure QAB, the value which you would get is 120


Question 59.


Which of the following is an example of perpendicular lines?


1. Corners of your circular room floor.


2. One of the angles in both the set squares of geometry box.


3. Angle included between the hour hand and minute hand when it is 12:15 in your wall clock.


  1.     1
  2.     2
  3.     2 and 3
  4.     1 and 3
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2
:
B
There are no corners in a circular floor!
The 2 set squares that you have are both right angled triangles. So, one of the angles is 90.
When it is 12:15, the angle included between the hour hand and the minute hand is not 90, it is slightly lesser than that because the hour hand moves in clockwise direction as well along with the minute hand.

Question 60.


Using which of the following, it is not possible to construct a 60 angle?


  1.     Protractor, Ruler
  2.     Compass, Ruler
  3.     Set Square (30-60-90)
  4.     Set Square (45-45-90)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Set Square (45-45-90)
:
D

We can't draw a 60 angle using a set square that has 45-45-90 angles. Using a protractor and compass, and by using a  Set Square (30-60-90), we can draw 60 angle.
