$\mathrm{AE}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{AB}[\text { Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to the chord bisect the chord }]$
$=\frac{1}{2}(12)=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\text { In right } \triangle \mathrm{OEA}$
$\mathrm{OA}^2=\mathrm{OE}^2+\mathrm{AE}^2$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}^2=(\mathrm{OA}-3)^2+\mathrm{AE}^2\left[\mathrm{From}(\text { i })\right]$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}^2=\mathrm{OA}^2-6 \mathrm{OA}+9+\mathrm{AE}^2$
$\Rightarrow 6 \mathrm{OA}=9+6^2$
$\Rightarrow 6 \mathrm{OA}=9+36$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}=\frac{45}{6}=7.5 \mathrm{~cm}$
So, the radius of the circle is $7.5 \ cm.$

Join $AC.$
Then $AE : CE = DE : BE ($Intersecting secant theorem$)$
$\therefore AE × BE = DE × CE ....(i)$
Let $CD = x\ \ cm$
Then $AE = (AB + BE) = (11 + 3)\ cm = 14\ cm;$
$BE = 3\ cm; CE = (x + 3.5)\ cm; DE = 3.5\ cm$
$\therefore 14 × 3 = (x + 3.5) × 3.5 [$FROM $(1)]$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}+3.5=\frac{14\times3}{3.5}=\frac{42}{3.5}=12$
$⇒ x = (12 - 3.5)\ cm = 8.5\ cm$
Hence, $CD = 8.5\ cm$

The radius of a circle is $6\ cm.$ The perpendicular distance from the centre of the circle to the chord which is $8\ cm$ in length, is:
- A
$\sqrt{5}\text{cm}.$
- ✓
$2\sqrt{5}\text{cm}.$
- C
$2\sqrt{7}\text{cm}.$
- D
$\sqrt{7}\text{cm}.$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $2\sqrt{5}\text{cm}.$

$AB = 8\ cm$
$⇒ AC = BC = 4\ cm$
Consider $\triangle\text{OCB},$ where $BC = 8\ cm,$
$OB = 6\ cm$
$\text { Now, }(\mathrm{OC})^2+(\mathrm{BC})^2=(\mathrm{OB})^2$
$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{OC})^2+4^2=6^2$
$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{OC})^2+16=36$
$\Rightarrow(\mathrm{OC})^2=20$
$\Rightarrow\text{OC}=\sqrt{20}=2\sqrt{5}$ View full question & answer→MCQ 371 Mark

$ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral such that $AB$ is a diameter of the circle circumscribing it and $\angle\text{ADC}=140^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{BAC}$ is equal to:
- A
$75^\circ$
- B
$40^\circ$
- C
$30^\circ$
- ✓
$50^\circ$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $50^\circ$
In the given quadrilateral,
$\angle\text{ABC}+\angle\text{ADC}=180^\circ$
$140^\circ+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{ABC}=40^\circ$
Since, $AB$ is diameter so $ABCD$ lies in semi-circle.
Thus, $\angle\text{BCA}=90^\circ$
In triangle, $ABC,$
$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{BAC}=180^\circ-40^\circ-90^\circ=180^\circ-130^\circ=50^\circ$
$\angle\text{BAC}=50^\circ$

In the given figure $PQ = QR = RS$ and $\angle\text{PTS}=75^\circ$ then the measure of $\angle\text{QOR}$ is: 
- A
$75^\circ$
- B
$25^\circ$
- ✓
$50^\circ$
- D
$20^\circ$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $50^\circ$

$\angle\text{PTS}=75^\circ$
Now $\angle\text{PTQ}=\angle\text{QTR}=\angle\text{RTS}$ (Equal chords would make equal angles at centre and thus equal angles at the circumference)
$\angle\text{QTR}=\frac{75^\circ}{3}=25^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{QOR}=25^\circ\times2=50^\circ$ View full question & answer→MCQ 411 Mark
In the give figure, $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral in which $BC = CD$ and $\angle\text{CBD}=35^\circ,$ Then, $\angle\text{BAD}=?$

- ✓
$70^\circ$
- B
$90^\circ$
- C
$65^\circ$
- D
$110^\circ$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $70^\circ$
$BC = CD ($given$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BDC}=\angle\text{CBD}=35^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{BCD},$ we have:
$\angle\text{BCD}+\text{BDC}+\angle\text{CBD}=180^\circ ($Angle sum property of a triangle$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCD}+35^\circ+35^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCD}=(180^\circ-70^\circ)=110^\circ\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCD}=110^\circ$
In cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD,$ we have:
$\angle\text{BAD}+\angle\text{BCD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}+110^\circ=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{BAD}=(180^\circ-110^\circ)=70^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}=70^\circ$

$O$ is the centre of the given circle. If $\angle\text{APB}=120^\circ$ and $\angle\text{DBC}=25^\circ,$ then the measure of $\angle\text{ADB}$ is equal to:

- A
$60^\circ$
- B
$120^\circ$
- ✓
$95^\circ$
- D
$100^\circ$

Now, $\angle\text{APB}+\angle\text{CPB}=180^\circ$ (Linear Pair)
$120^\circ+\angle\text{CPB}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{CPB}=60^\circ$
Now from angle sum property, we can calculate the values of $\angle\text{CPB}$ and we find that $\angle\text{CPB}=95^\circ$
Since, $\angle\text{PCB}=\angle\text{ADB}=95^\circ$

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,
$\angle\text{AOB}=2\angle\text{ACB}$
$=2(30^\circ)$
$=60^\circ$

If two diameters of a circle intersect each other at right angles, then quadrilateral formed by joining their end points is a:
Answer
$AB$ and $CD$ are diameters of a circle and diameter makes $90^\circ$ at any point on circle.
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CAD}=\angle\text{CBD}=\angle\text{BCA}=\angle\text{ADB}=90^\circ$
Also, diagonals $AB$ and $CD$ are perpendicular to each other.
Thus, $ABCD$ is a square.

$AOB$ is the diameter of the circle. If $\angle\text{AOE}=150^\circ,$ then the measure of $\angle\text{CBE}$ is: 
- A
$125^\circ$
- B
$120^\circ$
- ✓
$105^\circ$
- D
$115^\circ$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $105^\circ$

Here, $AOB$ is diameter,
So, $\angle\text{BOE}=180-150=30^\circ$ {Angles lie in straight line}
Now, $OE\ \&\ OB$ are radius so, $OE = OB$ .i.e $\angle\text{OEB}=\angle\text{OBE}$
In $\triangle\text{BOE},\angle\text{BOE}+\angle\text{OBE}+\angle\text{BEO}=180^\circ$
$=30+2\angle\text{OBE}=180^\circ$
$=2\angle\text{OBE}=180-30=150^\circ$
$=\angle\text{OBE}=75^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{OBE}$ and $\angle\text{CBE}$ lie on staright line
so, $\angle\text{OBE}+\angle\text{CBE}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{CBE}=180-75=105^\circ$ View full question & answer→MCQ 481 Mark
