Q:1 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 55°.


Given:
∠POQ = 70°
Concept Used:
Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal
The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
Explanation:
In the given figure, O is the center of the circle,
So, OP = OQ ⇒ ∠OPQ = ∠OQP
and, OS = OR ⇒ ∠ORS = ∠OSR
Now in triangle POQ,
∠P + ∠Q + ∠O = 180°
⇒ ∠P + ∠P + 70° = 180°
⇒ 2∠P = 110°
⇒ ∠P = 55°
Now, ∠RPQ = ∠QSR [Angle in the same segment]
⇒ ∠QSR = 55°
Hence the value of ∠QSR is 55°
2)

trapezium. If ∠RPQ = 25°, then find the value of ∠RPS.


In a circle with centre O, PQ is a diameter and RS a chord such that PQRS is a

1. 45°
2. 40°
3. 54°
4. 60°
In ΔRPQ,
⇒ ∠PRQ = 90° (Angle subtended by diameter on the circle)
⇒ ∠RPQ + ∠PRQ + ∠RQP = 180°
⇒ 25° + 90° + ∠RQP = 180°
⇒ ∠RQP = 65°
Also,
⇒ ∠RQP + ∠PSR = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠PSR = 180° – 65° = 115°
⇒ ∠SRP = 25° (alternate angles)
Therefore, ∠RPS = 180° – (115° + 25°) = 40°

Q:3 In the given figure AB is tangent with point O on it, ∠DCO = 72°
and ∠AOC = 48° then, find the measure of ∠DOB + ∠CEO.
1. 45°
2. 150°
3. 120°
4. 75°
Q:3 The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 120°.

Given
⇒ ∠DCO = 72° and, ∠AOC = 48°
⇒ ∠DCO = ∠DOB = 72° [alternate segment]
⇒ ∠AOC = 48°
AB is a straight line
⇒ ∠AOC + ∠COD + ∠DOB = 180°
⇒ 48° + ∠COD + 72° = 180°
⇒ ∠COD = 60°
Now, In triangle COD
⇒ ∠DCO + ∠COD + ∠ODC = 180°
⇒ 72° + 60° + ∠ODC = 180°
⇒ ∠ODC = 48°
⇒ ∠ODC = ∠CEO = 48°
Value of ∠DOB + ∠CEO = 72° + 48° = 120°

Q:4 In the given figure CD || AB, ∠CBA = 35°. Find the value of ∠CDB
- ∠DBC.

1. 150°
2. 130°
3. 105°
4. 165°
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 105°.
⇒ ∠ACB = 90° [angle on semicircle]
In triangle ABC
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°
⇒ 35° + 90° + ∠CAB = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB = 55°
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
⇒ ∠CAB + ∠CDB = 180°
⇒ 55° + ∠CDB = 180°
⇒ ∠CDB = 125°
∠DCB = ∠CBA [AB || CD]
In triangle BCD
⇒ ∠BCD + ∠CDB + ∠DBC = 180°
⇒ 35° + 125° + ∠DBC = 180°
⇒ ∠DBC = 20°
Value of ∠CDB - ∠DBC
⇒ 125° - 20° = 105°

Q:5 A tangent drawn from an external point ‘P’ meets a circle at point ‘Q’. If
‘O’ is the centre of the circle with a radius of 8 cm, and PQ = x cm and PO = (x
+ 2) cm, then find the value of ‘x’.
1. 12
2. 18
3. 15
4. 21
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 15
In the given figure, ∠OQP = 90° (since, the radius is perpendicular to the
tangent at the point of contact)
So, in ∠OPQ, PO2 = OQ2 + PQ2
Or, (x + 2)2 = 82 + x2
Or, x2 + 4x + 4 = 64 + x2
So, 4x + 4 = 64
So, x = (64 – 4) ÷ 4 = 15

Q:6 What is the value of circumradius of the triangle ABC? (AB = 4 cm, BC = 6
cm and AC = 6 cm)
1. 3√2/8 cm
2. 9√2/4 cm
3. 3√2/4 cm
4. 2√3/4 cm
The Correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 9√2/4 cm.
Circumradius = abc/(4 × Area of triangle ABC)
Semi perimeter of ABC,
s = (4 + 6 + 6)/2 = 8 cm
Area of ABC = √{s (s – a) (s – b) (s – c)}
⇒ √{8 × (8 – 4) × (8 – 6) × (8 – 6)}
⇒ 8√2 cm2
Circumradius = (4 × 6 × 6)/(4 × 8√2)
⇒ 9/2√2 = 9√2/2 cm

Q:7 ABC is a right-angled triangle (right-angled at B) such that AB = 4 cm and


BC = 3 cm. A perpendicular BD is drawn from B to the side AC. What is the
value of (3AD - 4DC)?
1. 1.2
2. 2
3. 2.4
4. 2.5
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 2.4.
In triangles ABC and ADB
∠A is common
∠B = ∠D = 90° [Given]
∴ ABC ∼ ADB [∵ AA similarity]
AB/AD = BC/BD
AD = BD × AB/BC = 4 BD/3
In triangles ABC and BDC
∠C is common
∠B = ∠D = 90° [Given]
∴ ABC ∼ BDC [∵ AA similarity]
AB/BD = BC/DC
DC = BC/AB × BD = 3 BD/4
⇒ (3AD - 4DC) = BD
To find BD:
AC = √ (AB2 + BC2) = 5 cm [∵ Pythagoras theorem] 5 cm
Area of ABC = ½ × AB × BC = ½ × AC × BD
⇒ 12 = 5 × BD
∴ BD = 2.4 cm
⇒ 3AD - 4DC = 2.4 cm

Q:8 Two circles of equal radii of 6 cm intersect each other such that each
circle passes through the centre of the other circle. Find the length of the
chord that is common to both the circles.
1. 6√3 cm
2. 2√5 cm
3. 6√2 cm
4. 4√3 cm
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 6√3 cm

In the given figure, let ‘A’ and ‘B’ represent the centres of the two circles and
let XY represent the common chord.
Since the two circles have equal radii and pass through the centre of each
other, so, XY bisects AB at ‘C’.
We have AB = radii = 6 cm
⇒ AC = (6/2) = 3 cm
⇒ AX = radii = 6 cm
We have, ∠ACX = 90o {Since a line drawn from the centre of the circle is the
perpendicular bisector of the chord}
⇒ CX = CY = (XY/2)
⇒ AX2 = AC2 + CX2
⇒ CX2 = 62 – 32 = 27
⇒ CX = 3√3 cm {Since length cannot be negative}
So, XY = 2 × 3√3 = 6√3 cm

Q:9 Chords AB and CD of a circle, when produced, meet at a point P outside


the circle, If AB = 8 cm, BP = 4 cm and CD = 2 cm then find the value of DP.
1. 8 m
2. 5 m
3. 6 m
4. 2 m
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 6 m

Let DP = x cm
So, PB × PA = PD × PC
⇒ 4 × 12 = x(x + 2)
⇒ x2 + 2x – 48 = 0
⇒ x2 + 8x – 6x – 48 = 0
⇒ x(x + 8) – 6(x + 8) = 0
⇒ (x + 8)(x – 6) = 0
So, x = 6 {Since length of DP cannot be negative}
Q:10 Find the value of AP in the given figure, if BP and BC are 4 cm and 7 cm,
respectively.

1. 8.67 cm
2. 6.25 cm
3. 7.55 cm
4. 8.25 cm
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 8.25 cm
We know that BC2 = BA × BP
So, 72 = BA × 4
Or, BA = 12.25 cm
So, AP = 12.25 – 4 = 8.25 cm
