Questions and Answers

Q 1 - The sum of all angles around a point is

A - 0⁰

B - 90⁰

C - 180⁰

D - 360⁰

Answer : D

Explanation

The sum of all angle around a point is 360⁰ .

Q 2 - In the given figure ,what is the value of x, if 4x= 5y

q 22

A - 100⁰

B - 105⁰

C - 110⁰

D - 115⁰

Answer : A

Explanation

x+y = 180 ⇒ x+ 4/5 x = 180 ⇒ 5x +4x = 900 ⇒ 9x=900 ⇒ x = 100.

Q 3 - If OE is the bisector of ∠AOD in the given figure ,then the value of X and y are respectively

q 25

A - 45⁰, 45⁰

B - 66⁰, 48⁰

C - 48⁰ ,66⁰

D - 30⁰, 60⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

∠AOC is a straight angle.
∴ 132⁰ + y⁰ = 180⁰ ⇒ y = (180 -  132 ) = 48⁰.
∠AOC = ∠BOC (vert. opp. ∠s) = 132⁰
∴ x= 1/2 ∠AOD = 1/2 * 132⁰ = 66⁰
∴ x= 66 and y = 48.

Q 4 - In the given figure , AB ll CD, ∠ABE =120⁰, ∠DCE = 100⁰ and ∠BEC =x⁰. Then, x= ?

q 29

A - 60⁰

B - 50⁰

C - 40⁰

D - 70⁰

Answer : C

Explanation

Through E draw GEH ∥ AB ∥CD
AB∥ EG and BE is the transversal.
∠ ABE +∠ GEB = 180⁰ ⇒ 120⁰ +∠GEB =180⁰ ⇒ ∠GEB = 60⁰
CD ∥EH and CE is the transversal. 
∴∠DCE +∠CEH = 180⁰  ⇒ 100⁰ + ∠CEH =180⁰  ⇒ CEH = 80⁰
NOW ∠GEB+ ∠BEC +∠CEH = 180⁰ ⇒ 60+x+80 =180 ⇒ x = 40

Q 5 - ∆ABC is right angled at A. If AB =24 mm and AC =7mm, BC=?

A - 31mm

B - 25mm

C - 30mm

D - 28mm

Answer : B

Explanation

By Pythagoras  theorem , we have 
 BC2 = AB2 + AC2    
= (24)2  + 72
= 576 + 49 = √625 ⇒ BC = 625 = 25mm.

Q 6 - The perimeters of two similar triangles ∆ ABC and∆ PQR are 36cm and 24 cm . If PQ= 10cm, Then AB=?

A - 20/3 cm

B - 10 √6/3 cm

C - 15cm

D - 200/3 cm

Answer : C

Explanation

we have  AB/PQ = 36/24 ⇒ AB / 10 = 3/2 ⇒ AB = (3/2 * 10) = 15 cm.

Answer : C

Explanation

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

Q 8 - In the given figure , O is the center of a circle and arc ABC subtends an angle of 130⁰ at O. AB is extended to P. Then ∠PBC= ?

q 48

A - 75⁰

B - 70⁰

C - 65⁰

D - 80⁰

Answer : C

Explanation

Take a point D on the remaining part of circumference of the circle. Join DA and DC
 ∠ADC = 1/2  ∠AOC = 1/2 *130⁰ = 65⁰.
Now DABC is a cyclic quadrilateral. 
&There4; ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180⁰⇒ 65⁰+ ∠ABC = 180⁰ ⇒ ∠ABC = 115⁰.
⇒∠ PBC= (180⁰ - 115⁰) =65⁰.

Q 9 - In the given figure, chords AB and CD of a circle intersect externally at P. If AB =6cm, CD = 3cm and PD= 5cm then PB= ?

q 52

A - 5 cm

B - 6.25 cm

C - 6 cm

D - 4 cm

Answer : D

Explanation

PA * PB + PC *PD ⇒ (x+6 ) * x=8* 5 ⇒ x2 +6x - 40 =0
⇒ (x+10) (x-4) =0 ⇒ x=4
∴ PB= 4 cm

Q 10 - In the adjoining figure,ABCD is a rhombus. If ∠A=70⁰ then ∠CDE =?

q 53

A - 65⁰

B - 55⁰

C - 35⁰

D - 45⁰

Answer : B

Explanation

Let CDB= x⁰.
then , CD = CB ⇒ ∠CBD = ∠CDB = x⁰.
∠ BCD = ∠BAD = 70⁰ (opp. s of a rhombus)
∴ x+x + 70 = 180 (sum of the ∠ s of a ∆   is 180⁰)
⇒ 2x = 110 ⇒ x=55. 
∴   ∠CDB= 55⁰.
