MCQ 1021 Mark
In $\triangle\text{PQR},$ if $\angle\text{P}=60^{\circ},$ and $\angle\text{Q}=40^{\circ},$ then the exterior angle formed by producing $QR$ is equal to:
  • A
    $60^\circ$
  • B
    $120^\circ$
  • $100^\circ$
  • D
    $80^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$100^\circ$

As we know, the measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of opposite two interior angles.

In $\triangle\text{PQR},$ $\angle\text{x}$ is the exterior angle.
So, $\angle\text{x}=\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{Q}$
$=60^{\circ}+40^{\circ}=100^{\circ}$

In Fig. if $AB \| CD$, then the values of $x$ and $y$ are:
  • A
    $x = 24, y = 48$
  • $x = 34, y = 68$
  • C
    $x = 24, y = 68$
  • D
    $x = 34, y = 48$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x = 34, y = 68$

$\angle \text{AGE}+\angle \text{BGE}=180^\circ$ [Linear pair angles]
$\Rightarrow 121^\circ+\angle \text{BGE}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{BGE}=59^\circ$
Since, $AB \| CD$
$\therefore \angle \text{BGE}= \angle \text{GHD}=59^\circ$ [Corresponding angles]
$\Rightarrow \text{x}^\circ+25^\circ=59^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=34$
In $\triangle \text{GHI},$
$\angle \text{GHI}+\angle \text{GIH}+\angle \text{HGI}=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property of triangle]
$\Rightarrow 34^\circ+78^\circ+\text{y}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{y}=68$

If the exterior angle of a triangle is $130^\circ $ and its interior opposite angles are equal, then measure of each interior opposite angle is:
  • A
    $55^\circ$
  • $65^\circ$
  • C
    $50^\circ$
  • D
    $60^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$65^\circ$

As we know, the measure of any exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.
Let the interior angle be $x.$
Given that, interior opposite angles are equal.
$\therefore \ 130^{\circ}=\text{x}+\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow \ 130^{\circ}=2\text{x}$
$\Rightarrow \ \text{x}=\frac{130^{\circ}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \ \text{x}=65^{\circ}$
Hence, the interior angle is $= 65^\circ .$

The measures of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio $4 : 5 : 9.$ The triangle is:
  • A
    An acute angled triangle
  • A right angled triangle
  • C
    An obtuse angled triangle
  • D
    None of the above
Answer
Correct option: B.
A right angled triangle
let the angles be $4x, 5x$ and $9x + 4x + 5x + 9x = 180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow 89^\circ + 46^\circ + \text{x}^\circ = 180^\circ$
$⇒ \text{x}^\circ = 45^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x} = 45$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(d).$

$\angle \text{EDC}=\angle \text{ACB}=109^\circ$ [Corresponding angles]
Now, In $\triangle \text{ABC}$
$\angle \text{ACB}+\angle \text{CAB}+\angle \text{CBA}=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property of triangle]
$\Rightarrow 109^\circ+24^\circ+\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}^\circ=47^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=47$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(c).$

Which of the following triplets cannot be the angles of a triangle?
  • A
    $67^\circ , 51^\circ , 62^\circ$
  • B
    $70^\circ , 83^\circ , 27^\circ$
  • C
    $90^\circ , 70^\circ , 20^\circ$
  • $40^\circ , 132^\circ , 18^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$40^\circ , 132^\circ , 18^\circ$
We know that, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is $180^\circ .$
Now, we will verify the given triplets:
$a. 67^\circ + 51^\circ + 62^\circ = 180^\circ $
$b. 70^\circ + 83^\circ + 27^\circ = 180^\circ $
$c. 90^\circ + 70^\circ + 20^\circ = 180^\circ $
$d. 40^\circ + 132^\circ + 18^\circ = 190^\circ $
Clearly, triplets in option $(d)$ cannot be the angles of a triangle.

If $\triangle \text{ABC}$ is an isosceles right-triangle right angled at C such that $AC = 5cm.$ Then, $AB =$
  • A
    $2.5cm$
  • $5\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
  • C
    $10 cm$
  • D
    $5 cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$5\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$


Suppose $BC$ is the ladder which is placed againts the wall $OA$. The foot of the ladder $C$ is $15m$ away from the foot $O$ of the wall and its top reaches the window which is $20m$ above the ground.
In right traingle $ABC$
$AB^2 = BC^2 + AC^2$
$\Rightarrow AB^2 = (5)^2 + (5)^2$
$\Rightarrow AB^2 =25 + 25$
$\Rightarrow AB^2 = 50$
$\Rightarrow \text{AB}^2=(5\sqrt{2})^2$
$\Rightarrow \text{AB}=5\sqrt{2}\text{cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

In a right-angled triangle $ABC,$ if angle $B = 90^\circ , BC = 3cm$ and $AC = 5cm,$ then the length of side $AB$ is:
  • A
    $3cm$
  • $4cm$
  • C
    $5cm$
  • D
    $6cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$4cm$
Since, $\triangle ABC$ is a right angled triangle.

In right angled $\triangle \text{ABC},$
$AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2$ [by pythagoras theoram]
$\Rightarrow 5^2 = AB^2+ 3^2$
$[\because AC = 5cm$ and $BC = 3cm$, given$]$
$\Rightarrow AB^2 = 25 - 9$
$\Rightarrow AB^2 = 16$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\sqrt{16}$
$$\Rightarrow \text{AB} = 4\text{cm.}$

The triangle formed by $BC = 5\ cm, AC = 3\ cm, AB = 5.8\ cm$ is:
  • A
    $\text{A right angled } \triangle$
  • B
    $\text{An isosceles } \triangle$
  • C
    $\text{An equilateral } \triangle$
  • $\text{A scalene } \triangle$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\text{A scalene } \triangle$

Given three lengths of sides are different. Also, the sides do not follow Pythagoras theorem.
So, it is a scalene triangle.

If $\triangle\text{PQR}$ is congruent to$ \triangle\text{STU}$ Figure. then what is the length of $TU?$
  • A
    $5\ cm.$
  • $6\ cm.$
  • C
    $7\ cm.$
  • D
    cannot be determined.
Answer
Correct option: B.
$6\ cm.$

Given that, $\triangle\text{PQR}\cong\triangle\text{STU}$
$\Rightarrow \ \text{PQ} =\text{ST} $
$\Rightarrow \ \text{QR} =\text{TU} $
$\Rightarrow \ \text{PR} =\text{SU} $
Hence, $\text{TU}=\text{QR}=6\text{cm}.$

The sides of a triangle have lengths (in cm) $10, 6.5$ and a, where a is a whole number. The minimum value that a can take is:
  • A
    $6$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $3$
  • $4$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$4$

As we know, sum of any two sides in a triangle is always greater than the third side.
So, only $4$ is the minimum value that satisfies as a side in triangle.
$\begin{cases}10<6.5+4\\6.5<10+4\\4<10+6.5\end{cases}\Bigg\}$
