<h2>Answers and Solutions</h2>

Q:1 The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 55°.

Given:

∠POQ = 70°

Concept Used:

Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal

The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°

Explanation:

In the given figure, O is the center of the circle,

So, OP = OQ ⇒ ∠OPQ = ∠OQP

and, OS = OR ⇒ ∠ORS = ∠OSR

Now in triangle POQ, 

∠P + ∠Q + ∠O = 180°

⇒ ∠P + ∠P + 70° = 180°

⇒ 2∠P = 110°

⇒ ∠P = 55°

Now, ∠RPQ = ∠QSR [Angle in the same segment]

⇒ ∠QSR = 55°

Hence the value of ∠QSR is 55°

 

Q:2 The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 40°.

<img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://hranker.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/HRQ-407798,.png" style="height:93px; width:110px" />

In ΔRPQ,

⇒ ∠PRQ = 90° (Angle subtended by diameter on the circle)

⇒ ∠RPQ + ∠PRQ + ∠RQP = 180°

⇒ 25° + 90° + ∠RQP = 180°

⇒ ∠RQP = 65°

Also,

⇒ ∠RQP + ∠PSR = 180° (opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)

⇒ ∠PSR = 180° – 65° = 115°

⇒ ∠SRP = 25° (alternate angles)

Therefore, ∠RPS = 180° – (115° + 25°) = 40°

 

Q:3 The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 120°.

<img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://hranker.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/HRQ-414539,.png" style="height:95px; width:110px" />

Given

⇒ ∠DCO = 72° and, ∠AOC = 48°

⇒ ∠DCO = ∠DOB = 72° [alternate segment]

⇒ ∠AOC = 48°

AB is a straight line 

⇒ ∠AOC + ∠COD + ∠DOB = 180°

⇒ 48° + ∠COD + 72° = 180°

⇒ ∠COD = 60°

Now, In triangle COD

⇒ ∠DCO + ∠COD + ∠ODC = 180°

⇒ 72° + 60° + ∠ODC = 180°

⇒ ∠ODC = 48°

⇒ ∠ODC = ∠CEO = 48°

Value of ∠DOB + ∠CEO = 72° + 48° = 120°

 

Q:4 The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 105°.

⇒ ∠ACB = 90° [angle on semicircle]

In triangle ABC

⇒ ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°

⇒ 35° + 90° + ∠CAB = 180°

⇒ ∠CAB = 55°

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

⇒ ∠CAB + ∠CDB = 180°

⇒ 55° + ∠CDB = 180°

⇒ ∠CDB = 125°

∠DCB = ∠CBA [AB || CD]

In triangle BCD

⇒ ∠BCD + ∠CDB + ∠DBC = 180°

⇒ 35° + 125° + ∠DBC = 180°

⇒ ∠DBC = 20°

Value of ∠CDB - ∠DBC

⇒ 125° - 20° = 105°

 

Q:5 The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 15

<img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://hranker.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/HRQ-407615,.png" style="height:132px; width:110px" />

In the given figure, ∠OQP = 90° (since, the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact)

So, in ∠OPQ, PO2 = OQ2 + PQ2

Or, (x + 2)2 = 82 + x2

Or, x2 + 4x + 4 = 64 + x2

So, 4x + 4 = 64

So, x = (64 – 4) ÷ 4 = 15

 

Q:6 The Correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 9√2/4 cm.

Circumradius = abc/(4 × Area of triangle ABC)

Semi perimeter of ABC,

s = (4 + 6 + 6)/2 = 8 cm

Area of ABC = √{s (s – a) (s – b) (s – c)}

⇒ √{8 × (8 – 4) × (8 – 6) × (8 – 6)}

⇒ 8√2 cm2

Circumradius = (4 × 6 × 6)/(4 × 8√2)

⇒ 9/2√2 = 9√2/2 cm

 

Q:7 The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 2.4.

In triangles ABC and ADB

∠A is common

∠B = ∠D = 90° [Given]

∴ ABC ∼ ADB [∵ AA similarity]

AB/AD = BC/BD

AD = BD × AB/BC = 4 BD/3

In triangles ABC and BDC

∠C is common

∠B = ∠D = 90° [Given]

∴ ABC ∼ BDC [∵ AA similarity]

AB/BD = BC/DC

DC = BC/AB × BD = 3 BD/4

⇒ (3AD - 4DC) = BD

To find BD:

AC = √ (AB2 + BC2) = 5 cm [∵ Pythagoras theorem] 5 cm

Area of ABC = ½ × AB × BC = ½ × AC × BD

⇒ 12 = 5 × BD

∴ BD = 2.4 cm

⇒ 3AD - 4DC = 2.4 cm

 

Q:8 The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 6√3 cm

<img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://hranker.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/HRQ-407617,.png" style="height:81px; width:110px" />

In the given figure, let ‘A’ and ‘B’ represent the centres of the two circles and let XY represent the common chord.

Since the two circles have equal radii and pass through the centre of each other, so, XY bisects AB at ‘C’.

We have AB = radii = 6 cm

⇒ AC = (6/2) = 3 cm

⇒ AX = radii = 6 cm

We have, ∠ACX = 90o {Since a line drawn from the centre of the circle is the perpendicular bisector of the chord}

⇒ CX = CY = (XY/2)

⇒ AX2 = AC2 + CX2

⇒ CX2 = 62 – 32 = 27

⇒ CX = 3√3 cm {Since length cannot be negative}

So, XY = 2 × 3√3 = 6√3 cm

 

Q:9 The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 6 m

<img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://hranker.com/admin/assets/uploads/ckeditor/HRQ-407747,.png" style="height:67px; width:110px" />

Let DP = x cm

So, PB × PA = PD × PC

⇒ 4 × 12 = x(x + 2)

⇒ x2 + 2x – 48 = 0

⇒ x2 + 8x – 6x – 48 = 0

⇒ x(x + 8) – 6(x + 8) = 0

⇒ (x + 8)(x – 6) = 0

So, x = 6 {Since length of DP cannot be negative}

 

Q:10 The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 8.25 cm

We know that BC2 = BA × BP

So, 72 = BA × 4

Or, BA = 12.25 cm

So, AP = 12.25 – 4 = 8.25 cm
