MCQ 11 Mark
If $A B=12 cm, B C=16 cm$ and $A B$ is perpendicular to $B C$, then the radius of the circle passing through the points A, B and C is
Image
  • A
    6 cm
  • B
    8 cm
  • 10 cm
  • D
    12 cm
Answer
Correct option: C.
10 cm
(c) 10 cm
Perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord. Therefore, $L$ and $M$ are mid-points of $A B$ and $B C$ respectively. Thus, in right triangle $O L B$, we have
$O L=B M=\frac{1}{2} B C=8 cm \text { and } B L=\frac{1}{2} A B=6 cm$
Applying Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle O L B$, we obtain
$O B^2=O L^2+L B^2 \Rightarrow O B=\sqrt{8^2+6^2}=\sqrt{100}=10 cm$

  • $50^{\circ}$
  • B
    $40^{\circ}$
  • C
    $60^{\circ}$
  • D
    $70^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$50^{\circ}$
(a) $50^{\circ}$
In $\triangle O A B$, we have
$O A=O B \Rightarrow \angle O B A=\angle O A B \Rightarrow \angle O B A=40^{\circ}$
Using angle sum property in $\triangle A O B$, we obtain
$\begin{array}{ll}& \angle O A B+\angle O B A+\angle A O B=180^{\circ} \\
\Rightarrow & 40^{\circ}+40^{\circ}+\angle A O B=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle A O B=100^{\circ}\end{array}$
Thus, $\operatorname{arc} A B$ subtends $\angle A O B=100^{\circ}$ at the centre and $\angle A C B$ at a point on the circumference.
$\therefore \quad \angle A C B=\frac{1}{2} \angle A O B=50^{\circ}$

  • A
    $60^{\circ}$
  • B
    $50^{\circ}$
  • $70^{\circ}$
  • D
    $80^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$70^{\circ}$
(c) $70^{\circ}$
In $\triangle A B D$, we have
$\begin{array}{l}\angle D A B=60^{\circ} \text { and } \angle A B D=50^{\circ} \\
\angle A D B=180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=70^{\circ}\end{array}$
We find that $\angle A D B$ and $\angle A C B$ are angles made by the are $A B$ in the same segment.
$
∴\quad$ \angle A C B=\angle A D B \Rightarrow \angle A C B=70^{\circ}$

  • A
    $30^{\circ}$
  • B
    $60^{\circ}$
  • C
    $90^{\circ}$
  • $45^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$45^{\circ}$
(d) $45^{\circ}$
We find that angle in a semi-circle is a right angle. Therefore, $\angle A C B=90^{\circ}$.
It is given that
$A C=B C \Rightarrow \angle C A B=\angle C B A$
Using angle sum property in $\triangle A B C$, we obtain
$\angle A C B+\angle C A B+\angle C B A=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow 90^{\circ}+2 \angle C A B=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow\angle C A B=45^{\circ}$

  • C
    $90^{\circ}$
  • $60^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$60^{\circ}$
(d) $60^{\circ}$
In $\triangle A O B$, we find that
$\begin{array}{ll}& O A=O B \\
\Rightarrow \quad & \angle O A B=\angle O B A\end{array}$
Using angle sum property in $\triangle O A B$, we obtain
$\begin{array}{ll}& \angle O A B+\angle O B A+\angle A O B=180^{\circ} \\
\Rightarrow \quad & 2 \angle O A B+90^{\circ}=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle O A B=45^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle O BA=45^{\circ}\end{array}$
Arc $A B$ subtends $\angle A O B=90^{\circ}$ at the centre $O$ and $\angle A C B$ at a point on the remaining part of the circle.
$\therefore \quad \angle A C B=\frac{1}{2} \angle A O B=\frac{1}{2} \times 90^{\circ}=45^{\circ}$
Thus, in $\triangle A B C$, we have $\angle A B C=30^{\circ}$ and $\angle A C B=45^{\circ}$.
$\begin{array}{ll}\therefore & \angle B A C=180^{\circ}-30^{\circ}-45^{\circ}=105^{\circ} \quad \text { [Using angle sum property in } \triangle A B C \text { ] } \\
\Rightarrow & \angle C A O+\angle O A B=105^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle C A O+45^{\circ}=105^{\circ} \Rightarrow
\angle C A O=60^{\circ}\end{array}$

MCQ 81 Mark
  • A
    $30^{\circ}$
  • B
    $45^{\circ}$
  • $60^{\circ}$
  • D
    $120^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$60^{\circ}$
(c) $60^{\circ}$
We observe that $\angle B A C$ is the angle in a semi-circle. Therefore, $\angle B A C=90^{\circ}$.
$\therefore \quad \angle O A C=\angle B A C-\angle O A B=90^{\circ}-60^{\circ}-30^{\circ}$
In $\triangle O A C$, we have
$O A=O C \Rightarrow \angle O A C=\angle O C A \Rightarrow \angle O C A=30^{\circ}$
Thus, in $\triangle O A C$, we have
$\begin{array}{ll}& \angle O A C=\angle O C A=30^{\circ} \\
\therefore \quad & \angle A O C=180^{\circ}-(\angle O A C+\angle O C A)=180^{\circ}
\left(30^{\circ}+30^{\circ}\right)=120^{\circ}\end{array}$
Clearly, arc $A C$ makes angle $\angle A O C=120^{\circ}$ at the centre $O$ and $\angle A D C$ at point on the remaining part of the circle.
$\therefore \quad \angle A D C=\frac{1}{2} \angle A O C=\frac{1}{2} \times 120^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$

Let O be the centre of the circle and $O L \perp A B$. Then, $L$ is the midpoint of $A B$. We have, $O A=17 cm$ and $A L=15 cm$.
Applying Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle O L A$, we obtain
$\begin{array}{ll}& O A^2=O L^2+A L^2 \\

Clearly, arc AC subtends $\angle A O C=105^{\circ}$ at the centre O and $\angle A B C$ at point B on the circumference. Therefore,
$\angle A B C=\frac{1}{2} \angle A O C=\frac{1}{2} \times 150^{\circ}=75^{\circ}$
Since $A B C D$ is a cyclic quadrilateral. Therefore,
$\angle A D C+\angle A B C=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle A D C+75^{\circ}=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle A DC=105^{\circ}$

In $\triangle A E D$, we find that
$\angle A E D=90^{\circ} \text { (angle in a semi-circle) and } \angle E A D=60^{\circ} \text {. Therefore, } \angle A DE=30^{\circ} \text {. }$
$A E D C$ is a cyclic quadrilateral such that
$\begin{array}{ll}& \angle E D C=\angle E D A+\angle A D C=30^{\circ}+70^{\circ}=100^{\circ} \\
\therefore \quad & \angle C A E=80^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle D A C=20^{\circ}\end{array}$
Thus, $A B C D$ is a cyclic quadrilateral, such that $\angle D A B=20^{\circ}+30^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$
$\therefore \quad \angle B C D=180^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=130^{\circ}$

Let $E$ be a point on the circle. We observe that arc ABC makes $\angle A O C=100^{\circ}$ at O and $\angle A E C$ at E.
$\therefore \quad \angle A E C=\frac{1}{2} \angle A O C=\frac{1}{2} \times 100^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$
Using exterior angle property in cyclic quadrilateral $A B C E$, we obtain
$\text { ext } \angle C B D=\angle A E C=50^{\circ}$
