Questions and Answers

Q 1 - In which quadrant does the point (- 5, 7) lies?

A - First

B - second

C - third

D - fourth

Answer : B

Explanation

The point (-5, 7) lies in 2nd quadrant

Q 2 - On which pivot does the point (0, - 5) lies?

A - x-pivot

B - y-hub

C - xy-pivot

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

The point (0,-5) lies on y axis. 

Q 3 - The focuses A (0,6),B(- 5,3) and C(3,1) are the vertices of a triangle which is:

A - Isosceles

B - equilateral

C - scalene

D - right calculated

Answer : A

Explanation

AB2= (-5-0) 2+ (3-6) 2= (-5) 2+ (-3) 2= (25+9) = 34
BC2= (3+5) 2+ (1-3) 2= (8) 2+ (-2) 2= 64+4 = 68
AC2= (3-0) 2+ (1-6) 2= (3) 2+ (-5) 2= 9+25 = 34
∴ AB= AC. Hence, ∆ABC is isosceles.

Q 4 - The focuses A (- 3, 0), B (1, - 3) and C (4, 1) are the vertices of

A - An equilateral triangle

B - an isosceles right angle triangle

C - a scalene triangle

D - None of these

Answer : B

Explanation

AB2= (1+3) 2+ (-3-0) 2= 16+9= 25
BC2= (4-1) 2+ (1+3) 2=9+16= 25
AC2= (4+3) 2+ (1-0) 2= 49+1= 50
Clearly, AB= BC and AB2+BC2= AC2
∴ ∆ABC is ab isosceles right angle triangle.

Q 5 - In the event that the focuses A (2, 3), B (5, ℏ) and C (6, 7) are collinear, then ℏ=?

A - 4

B - 6

C - - 3/2

D - 11/4

Answer : B

Explanation

Here x₁=2, x₂= 5, Xᴈ = 6, y₁ =3, y₂= ℏ and Yᴈ = 7
 ∆ = 1/2 [x₁(y₂-Yᴈ) +x₂(Yᴈ-y₁) +Xᴈ (y₁-y₂)]
  2(ℏ-7) +5(7-3) +6(3-ℏ) =0   4ℏ= 24  ℏ=6

Q 6 - A point C partitions the join Of A (1, 3) and B (2, 7) in the proportion 3:4. The co-ordinates of C are:

A - (5/3, 5)

B - (- 2, - 9)

C - (10/7, 33/7)

D - (3/2, 5)

Answer : C

Explanation

Co-ordinates of C are [(5*2+4*1/3+4), (3*7+4*3/ 3+4) i.e. (10/7, 33/7)

Q 7 - In what proportion is the line portion joining the focuses A (6, 3) and B (- 2, - 5) partitioned by the x-hub?

A - 3:2

B - 3:5

C - 1:2

D - 2:5

Answer : C

Explanation

  Let x-axis cut the join of A (6, 3) and B (-2,-5) in the ratio ℏ:1 at the point.
 Then, co-ordinates of P are P [(-2ℏ+6/ℏ+1), (-5ℏ+3/ℏ+1)
 But, P lies on x-axis. So, its ordinate is 0. 
 ∴ -5ℏ+3/ℏ+1 =0 ⇒ -5ℏ+3 =0 ⇒ ℏ= 3/5
 Required ratio is 3/5:1 i.e., 1:2.

Q 8 - The slop of a line going through the focuses A (4, 3) and B (6, 3) is:

A - 2

B - ∞

C - 0

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

Slop = (y₁ ?y₂)/( x₁-x₂) = (-3+3)/(6-4) =0/2 =0

Q 9 - On the off chance that the slop of a line going through the focuses A (2, 5) and B(x, 3) is 2, then x=?

A - 1

B - 2

C - -1

D - -2

Answer : A

Explanation

   (3-5)/x-2 =2 ⇒ 2x-4 =-2 ⇒ 2x =2 ⇒ x= 1

Q 10 - The point made by the line x+√3y-6 =0 with positive course of x-pivot is

A - 120⁰

B - 150⁰

C - 30⁰

D - 60⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

   x+√3y-6= 0 ⇒ √3y= -x+6 ⇒ y = -1x/ √3+ 6/√3
 ∴ m = tan ℴ =-1/√3 = -tan 30⁰ = tan (180⁰-30⁰) = tan150⁰
 ∴ ℴ = 150⁰
