Questions and Answers

Q 1 - In the given figure, straight line AB and CD intersect at O. IF ∠δ =3∠v, then ∠v = ?

q 18

A - 40⁰

B - 45⁰

C - 50⁰

D - 55⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

COD is a  straight line 
∴ ∠δ + ∠v =180⁰ ⇒ 3v +v =180 ⇒ 4v = 180 ⇒ v =45⁰.

Answer : A

Explanation

Two lines intersect at a point.

Q 3 - In the given figure , AB || CD, ∠ABE =35⁰, ∠CDE = 65⁰ and ∠BED =x⁰. Then, x= ?

q 27

A - 30⁰

B - 100⁰

C - 125⁰

D - 145⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

Draw GEH ||AB||CD.
∠ BHE =∠ ABE = 35⁰ (alt .∠s)
∠ DEH =∠ CDE = 65⁰ (alt .∠s)
∴∠x=∠ BEH + ∠DEH = (35⁰ +65⁰)=100⁰.

Q 4 - The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:7. The measure OF the smallest angle is:

A - 90⁰

B - 60⁰

C - 45⁰

D - 30⁰

Answer : D

Explanation

let the angles be (2x)⁰,(3x)⁰ and (7x)⁰. Then,
2x+3x+7x =180 ⇒ 12x =180 ⇒ x=15
Smallest angle = (2x)⁰ = 30⁰

Q 5 - In A ∆ABC ,∠A-∠B=33⁰ and∠ B -∠C = 18⁰ . Then∠ B =?

A - 35⁰

B - 55⁰

C - 45⁰

D - 57 ⁰

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 - Two poles of heights 6m and 11m stand vertically on a plane ground. If the distance between their feet is 12m , what is the distance between their tops?

A - 13 m

B - 14 m

C - 15 m

D - 12.8 m

Answer : A

Explanation

Let AB and CD be the poles such that
 AB = 6m , CD = 11 m and BD =12m 
Draw AE ⊥ CD . Then , AE = BD = 12m
CE = CD - DE = CD - AB = (11 - 6) m =5m.
from right   AEC we have
AC2 = AE2  + CE2 = (12)2 + 52 = (114 +25)=169
⇒ Ac =  √169 = 13m
∴ Distance between their tops= 13m

a 39

Answer : C

Explanation

The angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.

Q 8 - In the given figure , POQ is a diameter and PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral. If ∠PSR =130⁰, Then ∠ RPQ =?

q 47

A - 40⁰

B - 50⁰

C - 60⁰

D - 70⁰

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 - In the given fig. PAB is a secant and PT is a tangent to the circle from P. If PT = 4cm and AB = xcm , Then PB = ?

q 51

A - 2.5 cm

B - 2.6 cm

C - 2.25 cm

D - 2.75 cm

Answer : C

Explanation

PA *PB = PT2 ⇒ 4*(4+x)=25 ⇒ 4=x = 25/4 = 6.25 ⇒ x= 2.25 cm.

Q 10 - In The adjoining figure, ABCD is a rhombus whose diagonals intersect at O. IF ∠OAB =40⁰ and ∠ABO =x⁰, then X= ?

q 54

A - 50⁰

B - 35⁰

C - 40⁰

D - 45⁰

Answer : A

Explanation

We know that the diagonals of a  rhombus
bisect each other at right angle . So ,∠ AOB = 90⁰. 
Now ,∠ OAB + ∠ABO + ∠AOB = 180⁰
⇒ 40 +x + 90 = 180 ⇒ x=50.
