  • d)
    180°
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Vikas Kapoor answered
One circle measures 360 degrees. The half of the circle is called a semi-circle.
Thus, the measure of semi-circle
= 360/2 = 180 degree.

In the adjoining figure, AB ║ CD and AB ║ EF. The value of x is :-
  • a)
    400
  • b)
    600
  • c)
    700
  • d)
    500
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Vivek Rana answered
Given, AB ║ CD and AB ║ EF
so CD || EF
which means ∠ECD + ∠CEF = 1800 (corresponding angles)
∠ECD = 180 - 150 = 300
since AB || CD so 
∠ABC= ∠BCD (alternate interior angles)
∠ABC = 30 + ∠ECD = 30 + 30 = 600

  • a)
    Equal circles
  • b)
    Concentric circles
  • c)
    Semi-circles
  • d)
    Congruent circles
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered

Concentric circles are circles with a common center. The region between two concentric circles of different radii is called an annulus.
Any two circles can be made concentric by inversion by picking the inversion center as one of the limiting points.

In the figure, if O is the centre of the circle and ∠BOA = 120°, then the value of x is
  • a)
    90°
  • b)
    60°
  • c)
    120°
  • d)
    30°
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Mohit Rajpoot answered
∠BOA = 120° (Given)
∠AOC = 60° (Linear Pair)
In triangle OAC,
OA = OC (Radii of same circle)
∠OAC = ∠ OCA = x (angle opposite to equal sides are equal)
∵ ∠A + ∠C +∠O = 180°
⇒ x + x + 60 = 180°
⇒ 2x = 120°
⇒ x =60o

In the given figure, if ∠OAB = 40o then ∠ACB is equal to:
  • a)
    60°
  • b)
    50°
  • c)
    40°
  • d)
    70°
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Let's Tute answered
In triangle OAB
OA = OB (radius of a circle)
∠OAB = ∠OBA
∠OBA = 40º (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Using the angle sum property
∠AOB + ∠OBA + ∠BAO = 180º
Substituting the values
∠AOB + 40º + 40º = 180º
By further calculation
∠AOB + 80º = 180º
∠AOB = 180º - 80º
∠AOB = 100º
As the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle
∠AOB = 2 ∠ACB
Substituting the values
100º = 2 ∠ACB
Dividing both sides by 2
∠ACB = 50º
Therefore, ∠ACB is equal to 50º.

A line that intersects a circle in two distinct points is a
  • a)
    Secant
  • b)
    Chord
  • c)
    Radius
  • d)
    Diameter
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vikram Khanna answered
SECANT
In geometry, a secant of a curve is a line that intersects the curve in at least two (distinct) points.The word secant comes from the Latin word secare, meaning to cut. In the case of a circle, a secant will intersect the circle in exactly two points and a chord is the line segment determined by these two points, that is the interval on a secant whose endpoints are these points.

If two angles are complementary of each other, then each angle is :
  • a)
    An Obtuse angle
  • b)
    A Right angle
  • c)
    An Acute angle
  • d)
    A supplementary angle
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

C is correct...If angles are complementary or of 90 degrees then each angle is acute angle because acute angles are those angles whose measure is less than 90 degree... ...Each angle will not be obtuse,right and not supplementary...

In the given figure, straight lines PQ and RS intersect at O. If the magnitude of θ is 3 times that of ϕ, then (∠ϕ) is equal to :
  • a)
    30°
  • b)
    40°
  • c)
    45°
  • d)
    60°
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Correct option is C
In the above figure straight lines PQ and RS intersect at O.
It is given that θ=3ϕ  .....(1)
∠POR and ∠QOR form linear pair of angles
Also ∠POR=ϕ and ∠QOR=θ 
∠POR+∠QOR=180
ϕ+θ=180
ϕ+3ϕ=180 .....(From 1)
4ϕ=180
ϕ= 180/4 =45
Hence, ∠ϕ=45.

  • b)
    Not equal but supplementary
  • c)
    Equal but not supplementary
  • d)
    Either equal or supplementary
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Imk Pathshala answered
  1. Option A: "Neither equal nor supplementary"

  2. Option B: "Not equal but supplementary"
    This is partially correct but does not include the case when the angles are equal.
  3. Option C: "Equal but not supplementary"
    This is also partially correct but does not include the case when the angles are supplementary.
  4. Option D: "Either equal or supplementary"
    This is correct as it covers both possibilities.

  • b)
    30°, 90°
  • c)
    40°, 120°
  • d)
    20°, 60°
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ananya shah answered
so interior angle corresponding to 80° will be 100°
let there ratio be x so angles would be x and 3x
x + 3x + 100° = 180°
4x = 80°
x = 20°
so x and 3x  will be 20° and 60° respectively  

XY and PQ are two parallel chords of a circle on opposite side of the centre O and radius of circle is 13 cm. if PQ = 10 cm and XY = 24 cm, find the distance between PQ and XY.
  • a)
    17 cm
  • b)
    14 cm
  • c)
    25 cm
  • d)
    21 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashish Menon answered
Given, PQ = 10 cm, XY = 24 cm and radius of circle = 13 cm

We need to find the distance between PQ and XY.

Let AB be the diameter of the circle passing through O.

Then, OB = OA = AB/2 = 13 cm

Let M be the midpoint of PQ and N be the midpoint of XY.

Then, OM is perpendicular to PQ and ON is perpendicular to XY.

Also, OM = ON = OB = 13 cm (radii of the same circle).

Now, consider the right-angled triangles OMP and ONX.

We have, OP = OX = PQ/2 = 5 cm and OY = OQ = XY/2 = 12 cm.

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find MP and NX as:

MP = sqrt(OP^2 - OM^2) = sqrt(5^2 - 13^2) = sqrt(144) = 12 cm

NX = sqrt(OX^2 - ON^2) = sqrt(12^2 - 13^2) = sqrt(23) cm

Therefore, the distance between PQ and XY is MN = MP + NX = 12 + sqrt(23) cm

Hence, option (A) 17 cm is the correct answer.

If a chord of a circle is equal to its radius, then the angle subtended by this chord in major segment is
  • a)
    45o
  • b)
    30o
  • c)
    60o
  • d)
    90o
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Zachary Foster answered
Let AB be the chord of the circle with center O
.
Given that AB = Radius of the circle.
Also, AO = BO = Radius
∴ ΔOAB is an equilateral triangle.
Thus, ∠AOB = ∠OBA = ∠OAB = 60°
Also, angle subtended by an arc at the center of the circle is twice the angle subtended by it at any other point in the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠AOB = 2∠ACB
⇒ ∠ACB = 1/2 (∠AOB)
⇒ ∠ACB = 1/2 (60°) = 30°

If ΔABC ~ ΔEDF  then which of the following is not true?

    AB . EF = AC . DE
  • c)
    BC . DE = AB . EF 
  • d)
    BC . DE = AB . FD
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anita Menon answered
Since △ABC~△EDF
Then, AB/ED = BC/DF = AC/EF
A) BC/DF = AC/EF
⇒BC.EF=AC.FD   
So, A) is true
 
B) AB/ED = AC/EF
⇒AB.EF=AC.DE     
So,B) is true
 
D) AB/ED = BC/DF
BC.DE=AB.EF    
So, D) is not true
 
Therefore, Option  C is not true

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the corresponding angles are congruent. If two lines are cut by a transversal and the corresponding angles are congruent, the lines are parallel.

In triangles ABC and DEF, ∠B = ∠E, ∠F = ∠C and AB = 3DE. Then, the two triangles are
  • a)
    congruent but not similar
  • b)
    similar but not congruent
  • c)
    neither congruent nor similar
  • d)

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Kiran Mehta answered
to be congruent, the conditions are
S S S - three sides
S A S - two sides and the included angle
A S A - two angles and one side
R H S - R H S - Right angle, Hypotenuse and one side
But to be similar,
A A A means 3 angles
A A means only two angles ....
in both triangles should be equal.
In the problem, equality of two angles is given, but equality of sides is not given.
So, given triangles are not congruent.
But they are similar.

In a triangle ABC if ∠A = 53° and ∠C = 44° then the value of ∠B is:
  • a)
    46°
  • b)
    83°
  • c)
    93°
  • d)
    73°
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashish Sen answered
Solution:

Given, A = 53 and C = 44

We know that sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

So, A + B + C = 180°

Substituting the given values, we get:

53 + B + 44 = 180

97 + B = 180

B = 180 - 97

B = 83

Therefore, the value of B is 83.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

D and E are respectively the points on the sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC such that AD = 3 cm, BD = 5 cm, BC = 12.8 cm and DE || BC. Then length of DE (in cm) is

  • b)
    7.6 cm
  • c)
    19.2 cm
  • d)
    2.5 cm
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Meera Rana answered
GIVEN: In  Δ ABC, D and E are points on AB and AC , DE ||  BC and  AD = 2.4 cm, AE = 3.2 cm, DE = 2 cm and BE = 5 cm.
In Δ ADE and Δ ABC,
∠ADE =∠ABC    (corresponding angles)
[DE || BC, AB is transversal]
∠AED =∠ACB     (corresponding angles)
[DE || BC, AC is transversal]
So, Δ ADE  ~ Δ ABC      (AA similarity)
Therefore, AD/AB = AE/AC = DE/BC
[In similar triangles corresponding sides are proportional]
AD/AB = DE/BC
2.4/(2.4+DB)  = 2/5
2.4 × 5  = 2(2.4+ DB)
12 = 4.8 + 2DB
12 - 4.8  = 2DB
7.2 = 2DB
DB = 7.2/2  
DB = 3.6 cm
Similarly, AE/AC = DE/BC
3.2/(3.2+EC) = 2/5
3.2 × 5 = 2(3.2+EC)
16 = 6.4 + 2EC
16 - 6.4 = 2EC
9.6 = 2EC
EC = 9.6/2
EC = 4.8 cm
Hence,BD = 3.6 cm and CE = 4.8 cm.

Two parallel lines have:
  • a)
    A common point
  • b)
    Two common points
  • c)
    No common point
  • d)
    Infinite common points
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sara Nair answered
Explanation:
In geometry, two lines are parallel if they never intersect each other. Therefore, they cannot have any common points.

Definition of Parallel Lines:
Parallel lines are two lines that are always the same distance apart and never intersect.

Visual Representation:
We can visualize two parallel lines as two train tracks that run side by side. They never cross each other, and they remain at a constant distance apart.

Common Points:
If two lines have a common point, then they are not parallel. Instead, they are intersecting lines.

Two Common Points:
If two lines have two common points, then they are not parallel. Instead, they are coincident lines. In other words, they are the same line.

Infinite Common Points:
If two lines are the same line, then they have infinite common points. However, this is not the same as having parallel lines with infinite common points. Parallel lines cannot have any common points, whether finite or infinite.

Which one of the following is not correct?
  • a)
    If two lines are intersected by a transversal, then alternate angles are equal.
  • b)
    If two lines are intersected by a transversal then sum of the interior angles on the same side of transversal is 180°.
  • c)
    If two lines are intersected by a transversal then corresponding angles are equal.
  • d)
    none of these.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

B)If two lines are intersected by a transversal then sum of the interior angles on the same side of transversal is 180 is not correct. The sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is always equal to 180 degrees for any pair of parallel lines intersected by the transversal.

In triangle MNS, A and B are points on the sides MN, NS respectively.  Then AB is …………………. to NS :​
  • a)
    Not Perpendicular
  • b)
    Parallel
  • c)
    Perpendicular
  • d)
    Not Parallel
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anita Menon answered
In ∆MNS we have,
→ AN = 1/2(MN)
→ AN = (1/2)(MA + AN)
→ AN = (1/2)MA + (1/2)AN
→ AN - (1/2)AN = (1/2)MA
→ AN[1 - (1/2)] = (1/2)MA
→ (1/2)AN = (1/2)MA
→ AN = MA
so, A is mid point of MN .
similarly,
→ BS = (1/2)(MS)
so, B is mid point of MS .
since AB is a line segment joining the mid points of two sides of ∆MNS .
therefore, → AB || NS { According to Mid point theorem the line segment joining the mid points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side . }

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle ABE is a straight line,. If ∠DBE = 95o then ∠AOD is equal to

  • b)
    170o
  • c)
    180o
  • d)
    175o
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Zachary Foster answered
AE is a straight line so,
angle ABD + angle EBD = 180°
angle ABD + 95° = 180°
angle ABD = 180° -  95°
angle ABD = 85°
so, it is interior angle of circle
So, angle AOD is double of angle suspended on the circle
angle AOD = 2ABD
angle AOD = 2(85°)
angle AOD = 170°

  • b)
    100°
  • c)
    130°
  • d)
    120°
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

- Given that in triangle ABC, AB = AC
- We know that in an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal
- So, angle B = angle C
- Let the value of angle B be r
- Therefore, angle C = r
- From angle sum property of a triangle, we have: A + B + C = 180°
- Substituting the values, we get: A + r + r = 180°
- Simplifying, we get: A + 2r = 180°
- 80° +2r =180°
- 2r = 100°
- r = 50°
so x + r = 180°
    x + 50° = 180°
    x = 130°
