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 (7, 4) and B (0, a) is:

A - 6 units

B - 3 units

C - 4 units

D - 5 unit

Answer : D

Explanation

AB2 = (7-3)2+ (4-1)2 = (42+32) = (16+9) =25 ⇒ AB= √25 = 5 unit.

Q 3 - P is a point on x-hub at a separation of 3 units from y-pivot on its right side. The co-ordinates of P are:

A - (3, 0)

B - (0, 3)

C - (3, 3)

D - (- 3, 3)

Answer : A

Explanation

   Clearly, the co-ordinates of P are P (3, 0).

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(1,- 1) , B(5,2) and C(ℏ,5) are collinear , then ℏ=?

A - 6

B - -3

C - 0

D - 4

Answer : C

Explanation

Here x₁=1, x₂= 5, Xᴈ = ℏ, y₁ =-1, y₂= 2 and Yᴈ = 5
 ∆ = 1/2 [x₁(y₂-Yᴈ) +x₂(Yᴈ-y₁) +Xᴈ (y₁-y₂)]
  1. (2-5) +5(5+1) +ℏ (-1-2) = 0
  -3+30-3ℏ=0   3ℏ =27  ℏ =0

Q 6 - Two vertices of a ∆ ABC are B (- 3, 1) and C (0, - 2) and its centroid is at the inception. The Third vertex A is:

A - (3, 1)

B - (2, 3)

C - (- 1, 2)

D - (- 2, 3)

Answer : A

Explanation

  Let the vertex A be (a, b). Then,
 1/3 (-3+0+a) =0 and 1/3 (1-2+b) =0
 = -3 +a =0 and -1 +b=0 ⇒ a=3 and b= 1
 ∴ Vertex A is A (3, 1)

Q 7 - x-pivot partitions the join of A (2, 3) and B (5, 6) in the proportion

A - 1:2

B - 2:1

C - 3:5

D - 2:3

Answer : A

Explanation

Let the required ratio be ℏ:1. Then, its co- ordinates are (5ℏ+2/ ℏ+1, 6ℏ-3/ℏ+1)
 But, it lies on x-axis. So, its ordinate is 0.
 ∴ 6ℏ-3/ℏ+1 =0 ⇒ 6ℏ-3 =0 ⇒ ℏ=1/2
 Required ratio is 1/2:1 i.e., 1:2

Q 8 - A line goes through the focuses A (- 2, 3) and B (- 6, 5). The slop of line AB is

A - - 1/2

B - 1/2

C - 3/4

D - -1

Answer : A

Explanation

  Slop = (y₁ ?y₂)/( x₁-x₂) = (5-3)/(-6+2) = 2/-4 =-1/2

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.
