Question 31.


The fundamental difference between a rhombus and a kite is that the sum of adjacent angles are supplementary in a kite.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Parallelogram
  4.     All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
A rhombus can be considered as a parallelogram with all sides equal. Hence its adjacent angles are supplementary, whereas a kite does not have any sides parallel and thus its adjacent angles need not be supplementary.
Question 32.


If both pairs of opposite sides of a quadrilateral are parallel, then it is called:


  1.     Triangle
  2.     Circle
  3.     Parallelogram
  4.     All of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Parallelogram
:
C

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. 


Question 33.


In The Above Figure, ACDF, ABEF And BCDE Are Parallelograms....
In the above figure, ACDF, ABEF and BCDE are parallelograms. Analyse the given figure and choose the correct option(s).


  1.     AFE=x
  2.     FBD=x+y
  3.     BCD=z
  4.     CDG=x+y
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> FBD=x+y
:
B and C

Since ABEF is a parallelogram, so AF || BE and BF is the transversal.
AFB=FBE=x
[Alternate angles]
Also, since BCED is a parallelogram,
BE || CD and BD is the transversal.
CDB=EDB=y
[Alternate angles] 
Now, 
FBD=FBE+EBD 
FBD=x+y
And,
AFE=BED
[Corresponding angles] 
AFE=z 
BED=BCD=z 
[opposite angles of a parallelogram]
CDG+BCD=EBD+BED
[Sum of opposite interior angles is equal to exterior angle of a triangle]
CDG=y+zy
CDG=z


Question 34.


The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 1: 2 : 3 : 4. The angles of the quadrilateral are respectively ____.


  1.     144, 108, 60, 48
  2.     36, 72, 108, 144
  3.     30, 60, 90, 120
  4.     10, 20, 30, 40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 36, 72, 108, 144
:
B

Let the smallest angle of quadrilateral be x.
Then, the angles of the quadrilateral will be x, 2x, 3x and 4x.
Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360
360=x+2x+3x+4x
10x=360
x=36,2x=72,3x=108 and 4x=144


Question 35.


Square, rectangle and rhombus are all parallelograms.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     30, 60, 90, 120
  4.     10, 20, 30, 40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose both pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel. Since the pairs of opposite sides equal and parallel in a square, rhombus and rectangle,  they are all parallelograms.


Question 36.


The quadrilateral formed by joining the mid points of the sides of a quadrilateral, in order, is a __.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:

By joining the mid points of the sides of a quadrilateral, another quadrilateral is formed whose opposite sides will be equal and parallel. Hence the quadrilateral formed is a parallelogram.


Question 37.


A trapezium is a parallelogram.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     30, 60, 90, 120
  4.     10, 20, 30, 40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

In a trapezium only one pair of opposite sides are parallel. 
In a parallelogram, both pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel. 
Therefore a trapezium is not a parallelogram.


Question 38.


In which of the following ways can four people hold each other's hands to form a quadrilateral?


  1.     All four stand in one line
  2.     Three stand in one line and one of them out of the line
  3.     Two pairs of people stand facing each other
  4.     Two pairs of people stand with their back facing and hold hands from behind and side.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Two pairs of people stand facing each other
:
C and D

A figure formed by joining four points in an order is called a quadrilateral.
Consider the analogy of four people as four points.
In the first case, there are four collinear points which cannot form a quadrilateral.
In the second case, there are three collinear points which can form a triangle, but not a quadrilateral.
In the third case, the two pair of people face each other and thus form a quadrilateral.
In the fourth case, the two pair of people face exactly opposite but hold each others hands from behind and side and thus can for a quadrilateral.


Question 39.


A parallelogram whose all sides are equal is called a _____. 


  1.     trapezium
  2.     rhombus
  3.     rectangle
  4.     kite
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> rhombus
:
B

  • Trapezium cannot be a parallelogram.
     

  • Rhombus is a parallelogram, whose sides are always equal.

  • Rectangle is a parallelogram whose opposite sides are equal.

  • Kite is not a parallelogram.


A Parallelogram Whose All Sides Are Equal Is Called A _____....
A parallelogram whose all sides are equal is called a rhombus.
Question 40.


The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3:4:5:6. Find the angles of the quadrilateral. 


  1.     40, 100, 80, 140
  2.     6080100120
  3.     30405060
  4.     10, 20, 30, 40
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 6080100120
:
B

The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 3:4:5:6.


Let the angles of the quadrilateral be 3x,4x,5x,6x.


The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360.
3x+4x+5x+6x=360
18x=360
x=20


3x=60,4x=80,5x=100,6x=120
