Questions and Answers

Q 1 - In which quadrant does the point (2, 5) lies?

A - First

B - second

C - third

D - fourth

Answer : A

Explanation

The Point (2, 5) lies in 1st 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 - 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 - The vertices of a triangle are A (3, 8), B (- 4, 2) and C (5, - 1). The region of ∆ ABC is:

A - 57/2 sq. unit

B - 75/2 sq. unit

C - 57 sq. unit

D - 75 q. units

Answer : B

Explanation

Here x₁=3, x₂= -4, Xᴈ = 5, y₁ =8, y₂= 2 and Yᴈ = -1
 ∆ = 1/2 [x₁(y₂-Yᴈ) +x₂(Yᴈ-y₁) +Xᴈ (y₁-y₂)]
 =1/2 [3(2+1)-4(-1-8) +5(8-2)] = 1/2 (9+36+30) = 75/2 sq.unit.

Q 6 - In what proportion does the point P (2, - 5) separate the line fragment joining A (- 3, 5) and B (4, - 9)?

A - 2:3

B - 4:3

C - 5:1

D - 5:2

Answer : D

Explanation

Let the required ratio be ℏ:1
 Then, the point P is [(4ℏ-3/ℏ+1), (-9ℏ+5/ℏ+1)]
 ∴ 4ℏ-3/ℏ+1 =2,-9ℏ+5/ℏ+1=-5
 ⇒ 4ℏ-3= 2ℏ+2 and -9ℏ+5 = -5ℏ-5
 ⇒ 2ℏ= 5 and 4ℏ=10 ⇒ ℏ= 5/2
 Required ratio is 5/2:1, i.e. 5:2

Q 7 - The slop of a flat line is

A - 0

B - 1

C - -1

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

The slop of a horizontal line is m= tan ℴ =0

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 - The mathematical statement of a line going through the focuses A(- 1,1) and B(2,- 4) is:

A - 3x+5y+2 = o

B - 5x+3y+2 =0

C - 2x+3y+5 =0

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

The equation of the line is (y-y₁)/(x-x₁) =
 (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
 i.e., (y-1)/(x+1) = -4-1/2+1 ⇒ (y-1)/(x+1) = -5/3
 ⇒ 3y-3= -5x-5 ⇒ 5x+3y+2 = 0

Q 10 - The estimation of ℏ for which the line2 x+ℏy+7= 0 and 27x-18y+25=0 are opposite to one another, is

A - ℏ= - 1

B - ℏ= 2

C - ℏ= 3

D - ℏ = - 2

Answer : C

Explanation

2x+ℏY+7 =0 ⇒ ℏY =-2-7 ⇒ y = -2x/ℏ- 7/ℏ
 27x-18y +25 =0 ⇒ 18y = 27x+25 ⇒ y= 3x/2 +25/18
 ∴ -2/ℏ *3/2 = -1 ⇒ ℏ =3.
