Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

The distance betwen two parallel chords of length 8 cm each in a circle of diameter 10 cm is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 6

Given, Chord AB = Chord CD = 8 cm
Then, AP = PB = 4 cm and Diameter = 10 cm, then radius = 5 cm
Note : Equal chords of a circle (or of congruent circles) are equidistant from the centre.
∴ OP = OQ
From ΔOAP, By pythagoras theorem

Hence, option A is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 7

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

AB and CD are two parallel chords of a circle such that AB = 10 cm and CD = 24 cm. If the chords are on the opposite sides of the centre and distance between them is 17 cm, then the radius of the circle is :

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 7

AB = 10 cm and CD = 24 cm
∴ AE = EB = 5 cm and CF = FD = 12 cm
EF = 17 cm
Let, EO = x cm, then OF = (17 – x) cm
In ΔAOE, By pythagoras theorem

In ΔCOF, By pythagoras theorem

52 + x2 = 122 + (17 – x)2
25 + x2 = 144 + 289 – 34x + x2
34x = 408
x = 12

Hence, option C is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 8

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

Two circles of same radius 5 cm, intersect each other at A and B. If AB = 8 cm, then the distance between the centre is :

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 8

AB = 8 cm ⇒ AC = 4 cm
OA = 5 cm
In ΔAOC, By pythagoras theorem


Hence, option A is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 9

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

O and O' are respectively the orthocentre and circumcentre of an acute angled triangle PQR. the point P and O are joined and produced to meet the side QR at S. If ∠PQS = 60° and ∠QO'R = 130° then ∠RPS = ?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 9

∠ PQS = 60°
∠QO'R = 130°

⇒ ∠ QRP = 180° – 60° – 65° = 55°
⇒ ∠PO'Q = 110°
In Δ QO'R
QO' = O'R
⇒ ∠O'QR = ∠O'RQ = 25°
∵ ∠O'QR + ∠O'RQ = 50°
⇒ ∠PQO' + ∠QPO' = 35°
∵ ∠PQO' + ∠QPO' = 70°
Similarly, ∠O'PR = 30°
∴ ∠RPS = 35°
Hence, option (B) is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 10

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

In a circle of radius 17 cm, two parallel chords of length 30 cm and 16 cm are drawn. If both the chords are on the same side of the centre, then the distance between the chords is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 10

AB = 30 cm and CD = 16 cm
∴ AE = EB = 15 cm and CF = FD = 8 cm
Radii, OA = OC = 17 cm
In ΔAOE, By pythagoras theorem

Again In ΔCOF, By pythagoras theorem

Distance between chords, EF = OF – OE = 15 – 8 = 7 cm
Hence, option B is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 11

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

The length of two chords AB and AC of a circle are 8 cm and 6 cm and ∠BAC = 90°, then the radius of circle is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 11

∠BAC = 90°
As, BC is the diameter of the circle.

Hence, option D is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 12

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

Two circles touch each other internally. Their radii are 2 cm and 3 cm. The biggest chord of the greater circle which is outside the inner circle is of length

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 12

O'A = O'C = O'D = 3 cm [∵ radii of a circle]
OA = OB = 2 cm
AC = 2 x OA' = 2 x 3 = 6 cm
AB = 2 x OA = 2 x 2 = 4 cm
BC = AC – AB = 6 – 4 = 2 cm
∴ O'B = O'C – BC = 3 – 2 = 1 cm
In ΔBDO', By pythagoras theorem


Hence, option D is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 13

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

PQ is a chord of a circle with centre O and SOR is a line segment originating from a point S on the circle and intersecting PQ produced at R such that QR = OS. If ∠QRO = 30° then ∠POS = ?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 13

Let radius be 'r' and ∠POS = x°
ΔOQR isosceles ∴∠QOR = 30°
∴ ∠OQR = 120° (Sum of all angles of ΔOQR = 180°)
∴ ∠OQP = 60° (Supplementary angle)
ΔOPQ isosceles since OP = OQ = r
∴ ∠OQP = 60° = ∠OQP
∴ ∠ POQ = 60° = [Sum of all angle of Δ = 180° ]
Now SOR is a straight line
∴ x + 60° + 30° = 180°
∴ x = 90°
Hence, option (C) is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 14

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O and radius OD is perpendicular to AB. Find the angle BAD

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 14

In Δ AOD :
OA = OD (radius)
∠ AOD = 90 ( as OD is perpendicular to AB )
So Δ AOD is isosceles having OA and OD sides equal and one angle as 90
So the remaining wo angles are 45 each
Hence ∠ BAD = 45°
Therefore, option (B) is correct.

MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 15

Directions: Kindly study the following questions carefully and choose the right answer:

In a circle of radius 21 cm, an arc subtends an angle of 72° at the centre. The length of the arc is

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Circles - 2 - Question 15

We know that,
length of arc = Θ × radius

Hence, option B is correct.
