Q 1 :    

Two circles touch each other externally at C and AB is common tangent of circles, then ACB is

  • 70°

     

  • 60°

     

  • 100°

     

  • 90°

     

(4)

Draw CM perpendicular to AB.

Now, AM = MC and MB = MC (tangents drawn from external point are equal).

⇒ AM = MC

MAC = MCA = 45°

(Since Δ AMC is right triangle)

∴  Also, MB = MC ⇒ MBC = MCB = 45° (Since Δ MBC is right angle triangle)

ACB = MCA + MCB = 45° + 45° = 90° ⇒ ACB = 90°



Q 2 :    

If the circumference of a circle and the perimeter of a square are equal, then

  • Area of the circle = Area of the square

     

  • Area of the circle > Area of the square

     

  • Area of the circle < Area of the square

     

  • Nothing definite can be said about the relation between the areas of the circle and square.

     

(2)

Area of the circle > Area of the square

 



Q 3 :    

Assertion (A): The tangents drawn at the end points of a diameter of a circle, are parallel.

Reason (R): Diameter of a circle is the longest chord.

  • Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is correct explanation of Assertion (A).

     

  • Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not correct explanation for Assertion (A).

     

  • Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

     

  • Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

     

(2)

Assertion: Two parallel tangents always lie at the end points of the diameter of the circle.

Reason: Diameter is the longest chord of a circle which passes through centre joining the two points on the circumference of a circle.

Both, Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not correct explanation for Assertion (A).

 



Q 4 :    

The area of the circle that can be inscribed in a square of 6cm is

  • 36π cm2

     

  • 18π cm2

     

  • 12π cm2

     

  • 9π cm2

     

(4)

[IMAGE]

ABCD is a square of side 6 cm. PQ is a diameter of the given circle such that PQ=AB=6cm

 Radius (r)=62=3 cm

Area of the circle=πr2=π(3)2=9π cm2.

 



Q 5 :    

If two tangents inclined at an angle of 60o are drawn to a circle of radius 3cm, then the length of each tangent is equal to

  • 33/2cm

     

  • 3cm

     

  • 6cm

     

  • 33cm

     

(4)

[IMAGE]

Angle between two tangents = 60°     (given)

  Tangents are equally inclined to each other

  OPA=OPB=30°

and OAP=90°

(Tangent is perpendicular to the radius)

In PAO, tan30°=OAAP13=3APAP=33

Hence, the length of each tangent is 33 cm



Q 6 :    

In the given figure, tangents PA and PB to the circle centred at O, from point P are perpendicular to each other. If PA = 5 cm, then length of AB is equal to

[IMAGE]

  • 5 cm

     

  • 52 cm

     

  • 25 cm

     

  • 10 cm

     

(2)

PA = PB (Tangents from an external point P)

APB is a Right angle Triangle

AB2=AP2+PB2  [AP = PB]

AB2=2AP2

AB2=2×52

AB=52 cm

 



Q 7 :    

In the given figure, PA and PB are two tangents drawn to the circle with centre O and radius 5 cm. If APB=60°, then the length of PA is :

[IMAGE]

  • 5/3cm

     

  • 53cm

     

  • 10/3cm

     

  • 10cm

     

(2)      53cm

 



Q 8 :

  • ADP~CBA

     

  • ADP~BPC

     

  • ADP~BCP

     

  • ADP~CBP

     

(4)

APD=CPB [vertically opposite angle]

ADP=CBP [Angle subtends on the same segment]

ADP~CBP (by AA similarity)

 



Q 9 :    

In the given figure, AT is tangent to a circle centred at O. If CAT=40°, then CBA is equal to

[IMAGE]

  • 70°

     

  • 50°

     

  • 65°

     

  • 40°

     

(4)

Given, CAT=40°

BAT=90°

BAC+CAT=90°

BAC=50°

ACB=90°  [Angle in semi-circle]

In ABC, A+B+C=180°

50°+B+90°=180°

B=180°-140°=40°

 



Q 10 :    

Assertion (A): TA and TB are two tangents drawn from an external point T to a circle with centre ‘O’. If TBA=75° then ABO=25°.

Reason (R): The tangent drawn at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact.

  • Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

     

  • Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true, but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of the Assertion (A).

     

  • Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false.

     

  • Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.

     

(4)     Assertion (A) is false, but Reason (R) is true.
