Q 1 - Two Lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC =50⁰,Then ∠ BOD and ∠AOD are respectively
Answer : B
Explanation
∠ BOD=∠ AOC (vert . opp. ∠s) =50⁰ ∠AOC +∠AOD = 180⁰ ⇒ 50⁰ +∠AOD= 180⁰ ⇒∠AOD=130⁰ ∴ ∠ BOD= 50⁰ and ∠AOD = 130⁰.
Q 2 - Two angles are complementary, if the sum of their measures is
Answer : A
Explanation
Two angle are complementary, if the sum of their measures is 90⁰.
Q 3 - If OE is the bisector of ∠AOD in the given figure ,then the value of X and y are respectively
Answer : B
Explanation
∠AOC is a straight angle. ∴ 132⁰ + y⁰ = 180⁰ ⇒ y = (180 - 132 ) = 48⁰. ∠AOC = ∠BOC (vert. opp. ∠s) = 132⁰ ∴ x= 1/2 ∠AOD = 1/2 * 132⁰ = 66⁰ ∴ x= 66 and y = 48.
Q 4 - In the given figure , AB ll CD, ∠ABE =120⁰, ∠DCE = 100⁰ and ∠BEC =x⁰. Then, x= ?
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
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 - The perimeters of two similar triangles ∆ ABC and∆ PQR are 36cm and 24 cm . If PQ= 10cm, Then AB=?
Answer : C
Explanation
we have AB/PQ = 36/24 ⇒ AB / 10 = 3/2 ⇒ AB = (3/2 * 10) = 15 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:
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.
Q 8 - In the given figure , POQ is a diameter and PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral. If ∠PSR =130⁰, Then ∠ RPQ =?
Answer : A
Explanation
PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral. ∠PSR + ∠PQR = 180⁰ ⇒ 130⁰ + ∠PQR =180⁰⇒∠ PQR=50⁰. Also PRQ = 90⁰ (angle in a semi- circle) In PQR we have ∠PQR + ∠PRQ + ∠RPQ = 180⁰⇒ 50⁰ +90⁰+∠RPQ =180⁰ ⇒ ∠RPQ = 40⁰.
Q 9 - AB and CD are two parallel chords on the opposite sides of the center of the circle. If AB = 10cm , CD= 24cm and the radius of the circle is 13cm, the distance between the chords is
Answer : A
Explanation
From O draw OL⊥ AB and OM CD. Join OA and OC. AL = 1/2 AB = 5cm , OA = 13 cm. OL2 = OA2 - AL2 = (13) 2 - 52 = (169 - 25) = 144 ⇒ OL = √144 = 12 cm. Now ,CM =1/2 * CD =12 cm and OC =13cm. ∴ OM2 = OC2 - CM2 = (13) 2 - (12) 2 = (169 - 144) = 25 ⇒ OM =√ 25 = 5cm. ∴ ML = OM + OL = (5+12 ) cm =17cm.
Answer : C
Explanation
∠ADC +∠ EDC = 180⁰ ⇒ ∠ADC + 120⁰ = 180⁰ ⇒ ∠ADC= 60⁰ ∠ABC = ∠ADC = 60⁰ ( s in the same segment).
