In the given figure, equilateral $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is inscribed in a circle and $ABCD$ is a quadrilateral, as shown. Then, $\angle\text{BDC}=?$
  • A
    $150^\circ$
  • $120^\circ$
  • C
    $60^\circ$
  • D
    $90^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$120^\circ$

 $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is an equilateral triangle so $\angle\text{BAC}=60^\circ$
In cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD,$ we have:
$\angle\text{BDC}+\angle\text{BAC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BDC}+60^\circ=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{BDC}=(180^\circ-60^\circ)=120^\circ$

MCQ 521 Mark
In the given figure, $A$ and $B$ are the centres of two circles having radii $5cm$ and $3cm$ respectively and intersecting at points $P$ and $Q$ respectively. If $AB = 4\ cm,$ then the length of common chord $PQ$ is:
  • A
    $3\ cm$
  • B
    $7.5\ cm$
  • C
    $9\ cm$
  • $6\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$6\ cm$

We know that the line joining their centres is the perpendicular bisector of the common chord.
Join $AP.$
Then $A P=5 \mathrm{~cm} ; A B=4 \mathrm{~cm}$
Also, $A P^2=B P^2+A B^2$ [using pythagoras theorem]
$\Rightarrow B P^2=A P^2-A B^2$
$\Rightarrow B P^2=5^2-4^2$
$\Rightarrow B P=3 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore$ triangle $A B P$ is a right angled and $P Q=2 \times B P=(2 \times 3) \mathrm{cm}=6 \mathrm{~cm}$

In the given figure, $AB$ is a chord of a circle with centre $O$ and $AB$ is produced to $C$ such that $BC = OB.$ Also, $CO$ is joined and produced to meet the circle in $D.$ If $\angle\text{ACD}=25^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{AOD}=?$
  • A
    $50^\circ$
  • $75^\circ$
  • C
    $90^\circ$
  • D
    $100^\circ$
     
Answer
Correct option: B.
$75^\circ$

$OB = BC [$Given$]$


$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{OBC}=\angle\text{BCO}=25^\circ$ [Angles opposite equal sides are equal]
Now,
$\angle\text{OBC}=\angle\text{BOC}+\angle\text{BCO}=25^\circ+25^\circ=50^\circ$
$OA = OB [$Radii of the same circle$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OBA}=50^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{AOC},$
$\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{OAC}+\angle\text{ACO}$
$=\angle\text{OAB}+\angle\text{BCO}$
$=50^\circ+25^\circ$
$=75^\circ$

MCQ 541 Mark
$PS$ and $RS$ are two chord's of a circle such that $PQ = 10\ cm$ and $RS = 24\ cm$ and $PQ || RS.$ The distance between $PQ$ and $RS$ is $17\ cm. $ Find the radius of circle.
  • $13\ cm$
  • B
    $15\ cm$
  • C
    None of these.
  • D
    $10\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$13\ cm$

 
Let $L$ and $M$ be the midpoints of $R s$ and $P Q$ respectively.
Let $O M=x$ thus, $O L=17-x$
Now in triangle $RLO, RL = 12$ and
$\mathrm{RL}^2+O L^2=\mathrm{r}^2$
$12^2+(17-\mathrm{x})^2=r^2 .....(i)$
Similarly,
In triangle $O M P, P M=5$ and
$P M^2+O M^2=O P^2$
$(x)^2+5^2=r^2 \ldots . .(\text { ii) }$
Equating $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get :-
$12^2+(17-x)^2=x^2+5^2$
$\left.144+289-34 x+x^2=x^2+25 \text { \{using, }(a-b)^2\right\}$
On solving, we get:
$\mathrm{x}=\frac{408}{34}=12$
So, $17-x=17-12=5$
Thus, from$(i),$
$R L^2+O L^2=r^2$
$12^2+5^2=r^2$
$144+25=r^2$
$r^2=169$
so, radius $=\sqrt{169}$
Hence, the radius is $13\ cm.$

Write the correct answer in the following: In Fig. $\angle\text{AOB}=90^\circ$ and $\angle\text{ABC}=30^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{CAO}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $30^\circ .$
  • B
    $45^\circ .$
  • C
    $90^\circ .$
  • $60^\circ .$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$60^\circ .$
In $\triangle\text{OAB},$ we have
$\text{OA}=\text{OB}$
$[$Radii of the same circle$]$
$\therefore\angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OBA}$
In triangle $OAB,$ we have
$\angle\text{OAB}+\angle\text{OBA}+\angle\text{AOB}=180^\circ$
$\therefore2\angle\text{OAB}=(180^\circ-\angle\text{AOB})$
$=(180^\circ-90^\circ)=90^\circ[\because$ sum of angles of $\triangle$ is $180^\circ ]$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{OAB}=\frac{1}{2}\times90^\circ=45^\circ$
Also, $\angle\text{ACB}=\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{AOB}=\frac{1}{2}\times90^\circ=45^\circ$
Now, in $\triangle\text{CAB},$ we have
$\angle\text{CAB}=180^\circ-(\angle\text{ABC}+\angle\text{ACB})$
$=180^\circ-(30^\circ+45^\circ)=105^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{CAO}=\angle\text{CAB}-\angle\text{OAB}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CAO}=105^\circ-45^\circ=60^\circ$
Hence, $(d)$ is the correct answer.

In a circle, the major arc is $3$ times the minor arc. The corresponding central angles and the degree measures of two arcs are:
  • A
    $60^\circ$ and $210^\circ$
  • B
    $90^\circ$ and $90^\circ$
  • C
    $90^\circ$ and $27^\circ$
  • $270^\circ$ and $90^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$270^\circ$ and $90^\circ$

We are given the major arc is $3$ times the minor arc. We are asked to find the corresponding central angle.
See the corresponding figure.

We know that the angle formed by the circumference at the centre is $360^\circ .$
Since the circumference of the circle is divided into two parts such that the angle formed by major and minor arcs at the centre are $3x$ and $x$ respectively.
So $3x + x = 360$
$4x = 360$
$x = 90$
So $m\ AB = 90^\circ $ and $m\ AB = 3x = 270^\circ $
the degree measures of two arcs are $90^\circ$ and $270^\circ$

Two equal circles of radius $r$ intersect such that each passes through the centre of the other. The length of the common chord of the circles, is:
  • $\sqrt{3}\text{r}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}\text{rAB}$
  • C
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{r}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\text{r}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\sqrt{3}\text{r}$

We need to find a common chord.
We have the corresponding figure as follows:

$AO = AO' = r ($radius$)$
And $OO' = r$
So, $\triangle\text{OAO}'$ is an equilateral triangle.
We know that the attitude of an equilateral triangle with side $r$ is given by $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
That is $\text{AM}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\text{r}}$
We know that the line joining centre of the circles divides the common chord into two equal parts.
So we have
$\text{AB}=2\text{AM}=2.\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2\text{r}}$
$\text{AB}=\sqrt{3}\text{r}$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$40^\circ$

Angle made by a chord at the centre is twice the angle made by it on any point of the circumference.
So, $\angle\text{AOC}=2\angle\text{ABC}=2\times20^\circ=40^\circ$

If $ABCD$ is a cyclic trapezium in which $AD || BC$ and $\angle\text{B}=60^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{BCD}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $80^\circ$
  • B
    $-60^\circ$
  • C
    $100^\circ$
  • $60^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$60^\circ$
Since $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral
$\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$
$60^\circ+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{D}=120^\circ$
Now since $AD$ is parallel to $BC$
$\angle\text{C}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{C}+120^\circ=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{C}=60^\circ$

In the given figure, $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral in which $\angle\text{BAD}=75^\circ,$ $\angle\text{ABD}=58^\circ$ and $\angle\text{ADC}=77^\circ, AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $P.$ The measure of $\angle\text{DPC}$ is:
  • A
    $94^\circ$
  • B
    $105^\circ$
  • $92^\circ$
  • D
    $90^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$92^\circ$

Since $AD$ acts as a chord also, So, $\angle\text{ABD}=\angle\text{ACD}=58^\circ$
Again as $CD$ also acts as a chord also, therefore,
$\angle\text{DBC}=\angle\text{DAC}$
Now, $\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ABD}+\angle\text{DBC}$
Also, $\angle\text{ADC}+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ-77^\circ=103^\circ$
And therefore
$\angle\text{DBC}=103^\circ-58^\circ=45^\circ$
Hence, $\angle\text{DAC}=45^\circ$
Since,
$\angle\text{DAC}=45^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{CAB}=75^\circ-45^\circ=30^\circ$
But, $\angle\text{CAB}=\angle\text{BDC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BDC}=30^\circ$
Now, In triangle $CPD,$
$\angle\text{C}+\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow58^\circ+\angle\text{P}+30^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{P}=180^\circ-30^\circ-58^\circ=92^\circ$

  • $90^\circ , 45^\circ$
  • B
    $60^\circ , 30^\circ$
  • C
    $120^\circ , 60^\circ$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$90^\circ , 45^\circ$

 Here, given
$OP = OQ$ and $OR = OQ ($Radius of circle$)$
So, {angles opposite to equal sides are also equal}
Hence,
$PQR = 25^\circ + 20^\circ = 45^\circ $
and $PQR = 2 PQR = 2 45^\circ = 90^\circ $
{Angle subtended by same sides on centre is double the angle at opposite vertex}

If $A, B, C$ are three points on a circle with centre $O$ such that $\angle\text{AOB}=90^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BOC}=120^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{ABC}=$
  • A
    $60^\circ $
  • B
    $90^\circ$
  • $75^\circ$
  • D
    $135^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$75^\circ$

To solve this problem we need to know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre of the circle is double the angle subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle.

Here we are given that $A, B, C,$ are three points on a circle with centre $O$ such that
$\angle\text{AOB}=90^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BOC}=120^\circ.$
From
$\angle\text{AOC}=360^\circ-\angle\text{AOB}-\angle\text{BOC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOC}=360^\circ-90^\circ-120^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOC}=360^\circ-210^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOC}=150^\circ$
Now, as seen earlier, the angle made by the arc $AC$ with the centre of the circle will be twice the angle it makes in any point in the remaining part of the circle.
Since the point $C$ lies on the remaining part of the circle, the angle the arc $AC$ makes with this point has to be half of the angle $'AC'$ makes with the centre. Therefore we have,
$\angle\text{ABC}=\frac{\angle\text{AOC}}{2}=\frac{150^\circ}{2}=75^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}=75^\circ$

Join $OE, OD, OC.$
We get four triangles, namely, $\triangle\text{AOE},\triangle\text{EOD},\triangle\text{DOC},\triangle\text{COB}$
Now, all these triangles are isosceles triangles.
So,
$\angle1=\angle2$
$\angle3=\angle4$

$\angle7=\angle8$
Now, required angle $\angle\text{AED}+\angle\text{BCD}=\angle2+\angle3+\angle6+\angle7$
Now sum of all the angles must be $720^\circ ($as they are the angles of four triangles $\therefore\text{Sum}=180^\circ\times4=720^\circ)$
Therefore,

  • A
    $60^\circ$
  • B
    $75^\circ$
  • C
    $120^\circ$
  • $150^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$150^\circ$


$\angle\text{AOB}=60^\circ$ $($Since $ \triangle\text{AOB}$ is equilateral triangle$)$
Now, $\angle\text{ADB}=30^\circ$
$($Since chord $AB$ makes $60$ at centre, same chord will make half of the angle at circumference of angle made at centre$)$
Now $\angle\text{ACB}$ is angle made by chord at minor arc of circle.
$ABCD$ is cyclic Quadrilateral.
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{C}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$

In a circle of radius $17\ cm,$ two parallel chords are drawn on opposite side of a diameter. The distance between the chords is $23\ cm.$ If the length of one chord is $16\ cm,$ then the length of the other is:
  • A
    $15\ cm$
  • $30\ cm$
  • C
    $34\ cm$
  • D
    $23\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$30\ cm$
Given that: Radius of the circle is $17\ cm,$ distance between two parallel chords $AB$ and $CD$ is $23\ cm,$ where $AB = 16\ cm.$ We have to find the length of $CD.$

We know that the perpendicular drawn from the centre of the circle to any chord divides it into two equal parts.
$AM = MB = 8\ cm$
Let $OM = x\ cm ⇒ ON = 23 - x$
In right angled triangle OMB,
$\text{x}=\sqrt{172-82=15}$
Now, in triangle $OND, ON = (23 - x)\ cm = (23 - 15)cm = 8\ cm$
$\text{ND}=\sqrt{\text{OD}2-\text{ON}2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{ND}=\sqrt{172-82=15}$
Therefore, the length of the other chord is
$CD = 2 × 15 = 30\ cm$

The length of an arc subtending an angle $\theta$ in a circle of radius $r$ is given by the formula,
Length of the arc $=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}2\pi\text{r}$
Here, it is given that the are subtends an angle of $135^\circ$ with its centre. So the length of the given arc in a circle with radius $r$ is given as
Length of the arc $=\frac{135^\circ}{360^\circ}2\pi\text{r}\ ....(\text{i})$
The circumference of the same circle with radius $\text{r}=2\pi\text{r}.\ ....(\text{ii})$
The ratio between the lengths of the arc and the circumference of the circle will be
$\frac{\text{Length of the arc}}{\text{Cirrumference of the circle}}=\frac{135^\circ(2\pi\text{r})}{360^\circ(2\pi\text{r})}=\frac{135^\circ}{360^\circ}=\frac{3}{8} [$FROM $(i)$ and $(ii)]$
