MCQ 1021 Mark
In the given figure, $AD$ is a diameter of the circle with centre $O.$ Chords $AB, BC$ and $CD$ are equal. If $\angle\text{DEF}=110^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{FAB}$ is equal to:
  • $130^\circ$
  • B
    $110^\circ$
  • C
    $140^\circ$
  • D
    $120^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$130^\circ$


Here, given $AB = BC = CD$
Now, equal chords subtend equal angles at centre. So, $\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOC}=\angle\text{COD}$
Also, they lie in straight line so, $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOC}+\angle\text{COD}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{AOB}=\angle\text{BOC}=\angle\text{COD}=60^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{AOB}$
$\text{AO}=\text{OB},\angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OBA}$
Since, $\angle\text{AOB}=60^\circ,\angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OBA}=60^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{DOE}=\angle\text{AOB}=60^\circ$ (vertically opposite angle)
In $\triangle\text{DOE},\text{OD}=\text{OE}$ (radius)
so, $\angle\text{ODE}=\angle\text{OED}$
$\triangle\text{DOE},\angle\text{DOE}+\angle\text{ODE}+\angle\text{OED}=180^\circ$
$2\angle\text{ODE}=\angle\text{OED}=180-60=120^\circ$
$\angle\text{ODE}=\angle\text{OED}=60^\circ$
given was, $\angle\text{DEF}=110^\circ,$ so, $\angle\text{OEF}=110-60=50^\circ$
Now, in $\triangle\text{EOF}\ \text{OE}=\text{OF}$
so, $\angle\text{OEF}=\angle\text{OFE}=50^\circ$
In, $\triangle\text{EOF}\ \angle\text{FOE}=180-(50+50)=80^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{DOE}+\angle\text{FOE}+\angle\text{AOF}=180^\circ$ (All lie on same straight line)
So, $\angle\text{AOF}=180-(80+60)=40^\circ$
Now, in $\triangle\text{AOF}\ \text{AO}=\text{FO}$
SO, $\angle\text{OFA}=\angle\text{OAF}$
In $\triangle\text{AOF},2\angle\text{OAF}+\angle\text{FOA}=180^\circ$
$2\angle\text{OAF}+\angle\text{FOA}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{OAF}=90-20=70^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{FAB}=\angle\text{FAO}+\angle\text{OAB}$
$=70^\circ+60^\circ=130^\circ$

In the given figure, $AOB$ is a diameter and $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral. If $\angle\text{ADC}=120^\circ$ then $\angle\text{BAC}=?$
  • A
    $60^\circ$
  • $30^\circ$
  • C
    $20^\circ$
  • D
    $45^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$30^\circ$

We know that the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.
$\angle\text{ADC}+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 120^\circ+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{ABC}=60^\circ$
Since BOC is a diameter $\angle\text{ACB}=90^\circ.$
In $\triangle\text{CAB},$
$\angle\text{ABC}+\angle\text{BAC}+\angle\text{ACB}=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property]
$\Rightarrow\ 60^\circ+\angle\text{BAC}+90^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BAC}=30^\circ$

  • A
    $130^\circ$
  • B
    $90^\circ$
  • C
    $50^\circ$
  • $100^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$100^\circ$

In $\triangle\text{OAB},$ we have:
$OA = OB ($Radii of a circle$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OBA}=20^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{OAC},$ we have:
$OA = OC ($Radii of a circle$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{OAC}=\angle\text{OCA}=30^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{BAC}=(20^\circ+30^\circ)=50^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{BOC}=(2\times\angle\text{BAC})=(2\times50^\circ)=100^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BOC}=100^\circ$

In the given figure, $\angle\text{BPC}=19^\circ,$ arc $AB = arc\ BC = arc\ CD,$ Then, the measure of $\angle\text{APD}$ is:
  • A
    $38^\circ$
  • B
    $76^\circ $
  • $57^\circ$
  • D
    $59^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$57^\circ$

Equal arcs subtend equal angles at the centre and the angle subtended by them at the circumference would be double the angle subtended by them at the centre. As the angle subtended at centre were same so the angle subtended at the circumference would also become same. Thus each arc would make an angle of $19^\circ .$ Thus the total length of all the three angles would be thrice $19^\circ$ that is $57^\circ .$

  • A
    $40^\circ$
  • $50^\circ$
  • C
    $80^\circ$
  • D
    $100^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$50^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{OAB},$
$\text{OA}=\text{OB}$ [Radii of the same circle]
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OBA}$ [Angle opposite equal sides are equal]
$\angle\text{OAB}+\angle\text{OBA}+\angle\text{AOB}=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property]
$\Rightarrow\ 40^\circ+40^\circ+\angle\text{AOB}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOB}=100^\circ$
We know that, the angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
So, $\angle\text{ACB}=\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{AOB}$
$=\frac{1}{2}(100^\circ)$

We are given $AB$ is a chord of the circle; $P$ and $Q$ are two points on the circle different from $A$ and $B.$
We have the following figure.
Case $1:$ Consider $P$ and $Q$ are on the same side of $AB.$

We know that angles in the same segment are equal.
Hence, $\angle\text{APB}=\angle\text{AQB}$
Case $2:$ Now consider $P$ and $Q$ are on the opposite sides of $AB.$
In this case, we have the following figure.

Since quadrilateral $APBQ$ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Therefore,
$\angle\text{APB}+\angle\text{AQB}=180^\circ ($Sum of the pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is $180^\circ )$
Therefore,from case $1$ and case $2,$ $\angle\text{APB}=\angle\text{AQB}$ or $\angle\text{APB}+\angle\text{AQB}=180^\circ$

Write the correct answer in the following: In Fig. if $\angle\text{OAB}=40^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{ACB}$ is equal to:
  • $50^\circ .$
  • B
    $40^\circ .$
  • C
    $60^\circ .$
  • D
    $70^\circ .$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$50^\circ .$

In $\triangle\text{QAB, OA} = \text{OB}$ [both are the radius of a circle]
$\angle\text{OAB} = \angle\text{OBA}\Rightarrow \angle\text{OBA} = 40^\circ$
[angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Also, $\angle\text{AOB} = \angle\text{OBA}\Rightarrow \angle\text{BAO} = 180^\circ$
[by angle sum property of a triangle]
$\angle\text{AOB} + 40^\circ + 40^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOB} = 180^\circ – 80^\circ = 100^\circ$
We know that, in a circle, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle.
$\angle\text{AOB} = 2 \angle\text{ACB} \Rightarrow 100^\circ =2 \angle\text{ACB}$
$\angle\text{ACB} = \frac{100}{2} = 50^\circ$

The chord of a circle is equal to its radius. The angle subtended by this chord at the minor arc of the circle, is:
  • A
    $60^\circ$
  • B
    $75^\circ$
  • C
    $120^\circ$
  • $150^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$150^\circ$

We are given that the chord is equal to its radius.
We have to find the angle subtended by this chord at the minor arc.
We have the corresponding figure as follows:

We are given that
$AO = OB = AB$
So,
$\triangle\text{AOB}$ is an equilateral triangle.
Therefore, we have
$\angle\text{AOB}=60^\circ$
Since the angle subtended by any chord at the centre is twice the angle subtended at any point on the circle.
So, $\angle\text{AQB}=\frac{\angle\text{AOB}}{2}=\frac{60}{2}=30^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AQB}=30^\circ$
Take a point $P$ on the minor arc
Since $APBQ$ is a cyclic quadrilateral
So, opposite angles are supplementary. That is
$\angle\text{APB}+\angle\text{AQB}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{APB}+130^\circ=180^\circ\ [\angle\text{AQB}=30^\circ]$
$\angle\text{APB}=180^\circ-30^\circ=150^\circ$

If a chord of a circle is equal to its radius, then the angle subtended by this chord in major segment is:
  • $30^\circ$
  • B
    $90^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • D
    $60^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$30^\circ$

Since the chord is equal to the radius therefore, it will form an equilateral triangle inside the circlewith the third vertex being the centre of the circle.
So the chord will make an angle of $60^\circ $ at the centre. As the angle made by the chord at any other point of the circumfrence would be half.
So, we have that angle made at the major segment would be $30^\circ .$

In the given figure, $O$ is the centre of a circle and diameter $AB$ bisects the chord $CD$ at a point $E$ such that $CE = ED = 8\ cm$ and $EB = 4\ cm.$ The radius of the circle is:
  • A
    $8\ cm$
  • $10\ cm$
  • C
    $6\ cm$
  • D
    $12\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$10\ cm$
Let the radius of the circle be $r\ cm .$
Then, $O D=O B=r \mathrm{~cm}, O E=(r-4) \mathrm{cm}, E D=8 \mathrm{~cm}$.
Now, $\mathrm{OD}^2=\mathrm{OE}^2+\mathrm{ED}^2 \Rightarrow \mathrm{r}^2=(\mathrm{r}-4)^2+8^2$ [using pythagoras theorem]
$\Rightarrow r^2=r^2-8 r+16+64 \Rightarrow 0=-8 r+80$
$\therefore 8 r=80 \Rightarrow r=10\ cm.$

Answer
Correct option: D.
$110^\circ$

Since $ABCD$ is a cyclic qyadrilateral, we have:
$\angle\text{BAD}+\angle\text{BCD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BAD}+110^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BAD}=70^\circ$
Since $ABEF$ is a cyclic qyadrilateral, we have:
$\angle\text{BAD}+\angle\text{BEF}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 70^\circ+\angle\text{BEF}=180^\circ$

If a chord of a circle is equal to its radius, then the angle subtended by this chord in major segment is:
  • A
    $90^\circ$
  • B
    $60^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • $30^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$30^\circ$

Since the chord is equal to the radius therefore, it will form an equilateral triangle inside the circle with the third vertex being the centre of the circle.
So the chord will make an angle of $60^\circ $ at the centre. As the angle made by the chord at any other point of the circumference would be half.
So, we have that angle made at the major segment would be $30^\circ .$

One chord of a circle is known to be $10\ cm$. The radius of this circle must be:
  • Greater than $5\ cm.$
  • B
    $5\ cm$
  • C
    Greater than or equal to $5\ cm.$
  • D
    Less than $5\ cm.$
Answer
Correct option: A.
Greater than $5\ cm.$
We are given length of a chord to be $10\ cm$ and we have to give information about the radius of the circle.
Since in any circle, the diameter of the circle is greater than any chord.
So diameter $> 10$
$⇒ 2r > 10$
$⇒ r > 5\ cm$
Radius is greater than $5\ cm.$

  • B
    $85^\circ $
  • C
    $75^\circ$
  • $105^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$105^\circ$

We have:
$\angle\text{ABC}+\angle\text{ADC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}+95^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}=(180^\circ-95^\circ)=85^\circ$
Now, $CF || AB$ and $CB$ is the transversal.
$\therefore\angle\text{BCF}=\angle\text{ABC}=85^\circ($Alternate interior angles$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCE}=(85^\circ+20^\circ)=105^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{DCB}=(180^\circ-105^\circ)=75^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{DCB}=75^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{BAD}+\angle\text{BCD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}+75^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}=(180^\circ-75^\circ)$
