If TP and TQ are two tangents to a circle with centre O so that angle POQ = 110° then angle PTQ is equal to
  • a)
    600
  • b)
    800
  • c)
    700
  • d)
    900
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
We know that the sum of angle made by two tangents joined by an exterior point and the angle made at the centre of the circle is equal to 180 degrees
So, Angle POQ + Angle PTQ = 180
110 + Angle PTQ = 180
Angle PTQ = 180- 110 = 70 degrees

Amit Sharma answered
 The angle bisector of an angle of a triangle divides the opposite side internally in the ratio of the sides containing the angle.So in this question,

So , Substituting the values of option C
LHS=5/1.5=1/0.5
RHS=10/3.5=2/0.7
So, RHS ≠ LHS

 Length of the tangent to a circle from a point 26 cm away from the centre is 24 cm. What is the radius of the circle?​
  • a)
    11cm
  • b)
    13 cm

Kashish Juneja answered
Length of tangent = 24 cmLength from the point to the centre of circle = 26 cm. Join the point of contact and the centre of the circle. We know that line drawn from centre to the tangent is always perpendicular. So by using Pythagoras Theorem, (26)^2 = (24)^2 + Square of other side. (Other side)^2 = 676 - 576. Other side = √100. Other side = 10 cm

A point O is at a distance of 10 cm from the centre of a circle of radius 6 cm. How many tangents can be drawn from point O to the circle?

  • c)
    Infinite
  • d)
    2

Two tangents can be drawn to a circle from a point outside the circle.
No tangent line can be drawn through a point within a circle, since any such line must be a secant line.

To draw a pair of tangents to a circle which are inclined to each other at an angle of 60°, it is required to draw tangents at the end points to those two radii of the side, the angle between which is​
  • a)
    90°
  • b)
    30°
  • c)
    120°
  • d)
    45°
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

∠OQP=90o=∠ORP since the angle, between a tangent to  a circle and the radius of the same circle passing through  the point of contact, is 90o
∴  By angle sum property of quadrilaterals, we get ∠OQP+∠RPQ+∠ORP+∠ROQ=360o⟹90o+60o+90o+∠ROQ=360o⟹∠ROQ=120o.

Rohit Chauhan answered
Here OA ⊥ AB and O'B ⊥ AB, then ∠OAB = ∠O'BA = 90° And ∠AOO' = ∠BO'O = 90°

 ∴ ABO'O is a rectangle.
Also, OC = OA, then ∠OCA = ∠OAC= x [Let] ∴ 90° (x + x) = 180°
⇒ x = 45° Again, O'C = O'B, then ∠OC'B = ∠O'BC = y [Let] ∴ 90° (y + y) = 180° 
⇒ y =  45°
Now, ∠OCA + ∠ACB + ∠BCO' = 180° [Straight angle]
⇒ 45° +  ∠ACB + 45° = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 90° 

 In the given figure, AB and DE are perpendiculars to BC. If AB = 9cm, DE = 3cm and AC = 24cm then AD is equal to
  • a)
    20 cm
  • b)
    16 cm
  • c)
    18 cm
  • d)
    13 cm
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Amit Sharma answered
Since AB||DE so Angle A= Angle D,Angle C is common
So by AA criterion, ΔABC - ΔDEC
So,the corresponding sides are in proportion

DC=8
AD=24-8=16cm

 ABCD is a quadrilateral with BC = 8 cm. Quadrilateral AB’C’D’ is constructed with a scale factor  3/4 . What will be the length of B’C’?​
  • a)
    8 cm
  • b)
    12 cm
  • c)
    2 cm
  • d)
    6 cm
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
The quadrilateral is dilated by a scale factor of 3/4.The shape of image will be same as pre image but size will vary means it will be smaller .If Dilation factor is , means 0< Dilation factor<1, the image is be smaller than preimage.
So new length =k*original size=¾*8 = 6cm
So B’C’ = 6cm

  • c)
    more than 2r from the centre

Megha Roy answered
If we have to draw the tangents from any external point of the circle, then the distance of the external point from the centre should be more than the radius of the circle.
Therefore, two distinct tangents can be constructed from a point P to a circle of radius 2r situated at a distance more than 2r from the centre.
