Question 71 Mark
Which of the following points does not lie in any quadrant?
  1. (1, 7)
  2. (2, 10)
  3. (-1, 1)
  4. (4, 12)
Answer
  1. (4, 12)

Solution:

For the point to lie on the line y = 3x + 4, it has to satisfy the equation of the line.

Putting x = 1, in y = 3x + 4, we get y = 3(1) + 4 ⇒ y = 7

So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.

Putting x = 2, in y = 3x + 4, we get y = 3(2) + 4 ⇒ y = 10

So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.

Putting x = 1, in y = 3x + 4, we get y = 3(-1) + 4 ⇒ y = 1

So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.

Putting x = 4, in y = 3x + 4, we get y = 3(4) + 4 ⇒ y = 16

But y = 12.

So, the point not satisfy the equation and hence lies on the given line.

Question 81 Mark
Point (-7, 0) lies.
  1. On the negative direction of x-axis.
  2. On the negative direction of y-axis.
  3. In the III quadrant.
  4. In the IV quadrant.
Answer

Question 91 Mark
The area of $\triangle\text{AOB}$ having vertices A(0, 6), O(0, 0) and B(6, 0) is:
  1. 12sq units.
  2. 36sq units.
  3. 18sq units.
  4. 24sq units.
Answer
  1. 18sq units.

Solution:

Clearly, $\triangle\text{AOB}$ is a right-angled triangle.

$\therefore$ Area of $\triangle\text{AOB}=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{Base}\times\text{Height}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{OB}\times\text{OA}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times6\times6$

= 18 square units.

Question 101 Mark
Points (1, -1), (2, -2), (-3, -4), (4, -5)
  1. All lie in the II quadrant.
  2. All in the III quadrant.
  3. All lie in the IV quadrant.
  4. Do not lie in the same quadrant.
Answer
  1. Do not lie in the same quadrant.

Solution:

Points (1, -1), (2, -2) and (4, -5) lie in Quadrant IV, but point (-3, -4) lies in Quadrant III.

Hence, all the given points do not lie in the same quadrant.

  1. IV
  2. II
  3. III
  4. None of these.
Answer
  1. III

Solution:

Since, both the coordinates of given point are negative, it lies in Quadrant III.

Question 121 Mark
The point (other than origin) for which abscissa is equal to the ordinate will lie in quadrant.
  1. I only
  2. I or II
  3. I or III
  4. II or IV
Answer
  1. I or III

Solution:

The points are same when they are of the form (m, m) or (-n, -n).

This happens only in quadrant I and quadrant III.

So, the points (other than the origin) for which the abscissa is equal to the ordinate lie in quadrant I and quadrant III.

Solution:

Abscissa of A - Abscissa of B

= -2 - (-3)

= -2 + 3

= 1

Question 151 Mark
Which of the following points lies on the line y = 2x + 3?
  1. (2, 8)
  2. (3, 9)
  3. (4, 12)
  4. (5, 15)
Answer
  1. (3, 9)

Solution:

For the point to lie on the line y = 2x + 3, it has to satisfy the equation of the line.

Putting x = 2, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(2) + 3 ⇒ y = 7

But y = 8.

So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.

Putting x = 3, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(3) + 3 ⇒ y = 9

So, the point satisfies the equation and hence lies on the given line.

Putting x = 4, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(4) + 3 ⇒ y = 11

But y = 12.

So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.

Putting x = 5, in y = 2x + 3, we get y = 2(5) + 3 ⇒ y = 13

But y = 15.

So, the point does not satisfy the equation and hence does not lie on the given line.

Question 181 Mark
The points (-5, 3) and (3, -5) lie in the.
  1. same quadrant
  2. II and III quadrants respectively.
  3. II and IV quadrants respectively.
  4. IV and II quadrants respectively.
Answer
  1. II and IV quadrants respectively

Solution:

For point (-5, 3), the x co-ordinate is negative and the y co-ordinate is positive. Hence, it lies in Quadrant II.

For point (3, -5), the x co-ordinate is positive and the y co-ordinate is negative. Hence, it lies in Quadrant IV.
