Questions and Answers

Q 1 - On which pivot does the point (6, 0) lies?

A - x-pivot

B - y-hub

C - xy-pivot

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

The point lies on (6, 0) lies on x-axis.

Q 2 - The separation of the point A (- 5, 0) from the beginning is:

A - 5 units

B - √10 units

C - √ 5 units

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

OA = √ (0+5)2+ (0+0)2   = √ 25     = 5 unit.

Q 3 - The separation of the point A (2, - 3) and B (2, 2) is:

A - 2 units

B - 3 units

C - 4 units

D - 5 unit

Answer : D

Explanation

AB2= (2-2) 2+ (-3-2) 2= 0+25=25 ⇒ AB =√ 25 =5 unit

Q 4 - The vertices of a quadrilateral ABCD are A(0,0) ,B(4,4) ,C(4,8) and D(0,4).Then ABCD is a

A - A square

B - a rhombus

C - a rectangle

D - none of these

Answer : D

Explanation

vertices
AB2= (4-0) 2+ (4-0) 2= 32
 BC2= (4-4) 2+ (8-4) 2= 0+16= 16
 CD2= (0-4) 2+ (4-8) 2= (16+16) = 32
 AB= CD= √32 = 4√2, BC= AD =√16 = 4
 AC2= (4-0) 2+ (8-0) 2= (16+64) = 80
 BD2= (0-4) 2+ (4-4) 2= 16+0= 16
 ∴ Diag = AC≠Diag BD.
 ∴ ABCD is a parallelogram.

Q 5 - The end purposes of the distance across of a circle are A (4,- 1) and B(- 2,- 5). The co-ordinates of its middle are:

A - (1, - 3)

B - (2, - 4)

C - (- 1, 2)

D - (- 2, 3)

Answer : A

Explanation

Co-ordinates of the center are [4+ (-2)/2, -1+ (-5)/2], i.e. (1,-3)

Q 6 - The end purposes of a line section AB are A (- 5, 4) and B (7, - 8). Its mid point is:

A - C (1, - 2)

B - C (2, - 1)

C - C (2, - 3)

D - C (2, - 2)

Answer : A

Explanation

Mid point is C = [(-5+7/2), (4-8/2), i.e. (1,-2)

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 - On the off chance that for a line m= tan ℴ =0 then the line is

A - Flat

B - vertical

C - slanted

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

When m=0, the line is vertical.

Q 9 - On the off chance that the slant of a line joining the focuses A(x,- 3) and B(2,5) is 135⁰ then x=?

A - 5

B - -5

C - 8

D - 10

Answer : D

Explanation

Slop of AB = (5+3)/(2-x) =8/2-x
 ∴ 8/2-x = tan135⁰ = tan (180⁰- 45⁰) = -tan 45⁰ =-1 
8/2-x = -1 ⇒8 = x-2 ⇒ x= 10

Q 10 - The lines x+2y-9 =0 and 3x+6y+8 =0 are commonly.

A - Parallel

B - opposite

C - equal

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

x+2y-9 =0 ⇒ 2y = -x+9 ⇒ y= -x/2+9/2 
 3x+6y+8 =0 ⇒ 6y= -3x-8 ⇒ y=-x/2 -4/3
 ∴ m₁: m₂ = -1/2 
 Hence, the given lines are parallel.
