SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 3 - Question 16

Two chords of length a unit and b unit of a circle make angles 60° and 90° at the centre of a circle respectively, then the correct relation is (SSC CGL 1st Sit. 2015)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 3 - Question 16


Let the chord AB = a and chord BC = b makes angle
∠ AOB = 60° and ∠ BOC = 90° at the center ‘O’ of the circle. There, OA = OB = OC = radius
In ΔAOB, ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA
and ∠ AOB = 60°
∴ ∠ OAB + ∠ OBA = 180° – 60° = 120°
⇒ ∠ OAB + ∠ OAB = 120°
⇒ ∠ OAB = 60°
Thus, ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA = ∠ AOB = 60°
∴ AOB is equilateral triangle
Hence, AO = OB = AB = a unit
Now, from ΔBOC, ∠ BOC = 90°, BC = b unit
OB = OC = a unit
(BC)2 = (OB)2 + (OC)2
b2 = a2 + a2 ⇒ b2 = 2a2
b = √2 a

In ΔABC, ∠B = 60°, and ∠C = 40°; AD and AE are respectively the bisector of ∠A and perpendicular on BC. The measure of ∠EAD is:    (SSC CHSL 2015)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 3 - Question 26


In ΔABC
∠A = 180°- (60° + 40°) = 80°
∠BAD = ∠DAC = 40° (AD is bisector of ∠A)
In ∠AEC
∠EAC = 180° – (90° + 40°) = 50°
So, ∠EAD= ∠EAC – ∠DAC
= 50° – 40°
∠EAD = 10°

Two circles of radii 10 cm and 8 cm intersect and the length of the common chord is 12 cm. Then the distance between their centres is:   (SSC Sub. Ins. 2015)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 3 - Question 30


Line joining the centre is ⊥ bisector of common chord

In ΔOMQ, ∠OMQ = 90°
OQ2 = OM2 + MQ2 (Pythagorus theorem)
102 = OM2 + 62
OM2 = 100 – 36 = 64
OM = 8cm
In ΔQMP, ∠QMP = 90°
QP2 = QM2 + PM2 (Pythagorus theorem)
82 = 62 + PM2
PM = 64 – 36 = √28 = 2√7
OP = OM + MP = 8 + 2√7
So distance between centres O and P
= 8 + 2√7= 13.3 cm
