MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 1

In the given figure, find the length of BD.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 1

In ΔsADE and ΔABC
∠A = ∠A [common]
∠ADE = ∠ACB = x°(Given)
∴ ΔADE ∼ ΔACB (AA Similarly)



Hence BD = AB - AD = 19.5 - 6 = 13.5 cm.

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 2

A vertical stick 12 cm long casts a shadow 8 cm long on the ground. At the same time a tower casts the shadow 40 m long on the ground. Find the height of the tower.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 2

In ΔACB and PCQ
∠C = ∠C (common)
∠ABC = ∠PQC (each 90°)
∴ ΔACB ∼ ΔPC (AA Similarity)

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 3

ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle with centre O. If ∠COD = 120° and ∠BAC = 30°, then ∠BCD is :

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 3

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a quadrilateral ABCD inscribed in a circle with centre O

Given , ∠COD = 120°
∠BAC = 30°


∴ ∠BAD = 90°
∴ ∠BCD = 180° - ∠BAD
∴ ∠BCD = 180° – 90° = 90°

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 4

The distance between the centres of the two circles of radii r1 and r2 is d. They will touch each other internally if

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 4

According to question , we can draw a figure

Hence , option C is correct answer .

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 5

If angles of measure (5y + 62°) and (22° + y) are supplementary, then value of y is :

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 5

As we know that Sum of two supplementary angles = 180°
∴ (5y + 62°) + (22° + y) = 180°
⇒ 6y + 84° = 180°
⇒ 6y = 180° – 84° = 96°

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 6

The radius of two concentric circles are 9 cm and 15 cm. If the chord of the greater circle be a tangent to the smaller circle, then the length of that chord is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 6

According to question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O,

Here , BO = OC = 15 cm and OD = 9 cm.
From ∆ BDO,


∴ BC = 2 × 12 = 24 cm.

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 7

Two chords AB and CD of a circle with centre O, intersect each other at P. If ∠AOD = 100° and ∠BOC = 70°, then the value of ∠APC is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 7

On the basis of question we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,

Given , ∠AOD = 100°
We know that the angle subtended at the centre is twice to that of angle at the circumference by the same arc.

Again, ∠BOC = 70°

∴ ∠APC = 180° – 50° – 35° = 95°

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 8

AB = 8 cm and CD = 6 cm are two parallel chords on the same side of the centre of a circle. The distance between them is 1 cm. The radius of the circle is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 8

On the basis of question we draw a figure of a circle with centre O ,

Let OE = y cm
then OF = (y +1) cm
OA = OC = r cm
AE = 4 cm; CF = 3 cm
From ∆ OAE,
OA² = AE² + OE²
⇒ r² = 16 + y²
⇒ y² = r² – 16 ......(i)
From ∆OCF,
(y + 1)² = r² – 9 ..... (ii)
By equation (ii) – (i),
(y + 1)² – y² = r² – 9 – r² + 16
⇒ 2y + 1 = 7
⇒ y = 3 cm
∴ From equation (i),
9 = r² – 16
⇒ r² = 25
⇒ r = 5 cm

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 9

The orthocentre of an obtuse angled triangle lies

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 9

As we know that the orthocentre of an obtuse angled triangle lies outside the triangle. Hence , correct answer is option B.

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 10

If the sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon be 1080°, the number of sides of the polygon is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 10

Given , The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon = 1080°
Sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon of n sides = (2n – 4) × 90°
∴ (2n – 4) × 90° = 1080°
⇒ 2n – 4 = 1080 ÷ 90 = 12
⇒ 2n = 12 + 4 = 16
∴ n = 8

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 11

The centroid of a triangle is the point where

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 11

As we know the centroid of a triangle is the point where the point of intersection of medians of a triangle is called centroid.

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 12

ABC is an isosceles triangle such that AB = AC and ∠B = 35°. AD is the median to the base BC. Then ∠BAD is:

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 12

Firstly, We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC,

Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
Now, ∠ADB = 90°
In ∆ADB , ∠ BAD + ∠ ABD + ∠ ADB = 180°
⇒ ∠ BAD + 90° + 35° = 180°
∴ ∠BAD = 55°

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 13

In a triangle, if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 13

We know that in a triangle, if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is called equilateral.

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 14

If ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle with ∠C = 90° and AC = 5 cm, then AB is :

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 14

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC,

In isosceles triangle ,
AC = BC = 5 cm

MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 15

A circle is touching the side BCof Δ ABC at P and is also touching AB and AC produced at Q and R respectively. If AQ = 6 cm, then the perimeter of the triangle ABC is:

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Geometry - 3 - Question 15

A circle is touching the side AQ and AR,

Then AR = AQ = 6 cm
Now AQ + AR = AB + BQ + AC + CR
⇒ 6 + 6 = AB + BQ + AC + CR
⇒ 6 + 6 = AB + BQ + AC + CR 
[here BQ = BP and CR = CP]
12 = AB + AC + BP + PC
12 = AB + AC + BC
Hence, perimeter of a triangle ABC is 12 cm.
