MCQ 2011 Mark
if $A$ and $B$ are two points on a circle such that m $(AB) = 260^\circ .$ A possible value for the angle subtended by arc $BA$ at a point on the circle is:
  • $50^\circ$
  • B
    $100^\circ$
  • C
    $75^\circ$
  • D
    $25^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$50^\circ$
We are given $m(AB) = 260^\circ $

Suppose point $P$ is on the circle.
Since $m(AB) = 260^\circ $
So, angle $AOB = 360^\circ - 260^\circ = 100^\circ $
We know that angle subtended by chord $AB$ at the centre is twice that of subtended at the point $P$
So, $\angle\text{APB}=\frac{\angle\text{AOB}}{2}=\frac{100}{2}=50^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{APB}=50^\circ$

$ABCD$ 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
    $40^\circ $
  • B
    $30^\circ $
  • C
    $75^\circ $
  • $50^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: D.
$50^\circ $

ln 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, $ABC,$
$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{BAC}=180^\circ-40^\circ-90^\circ=180^\circ-130^\circ=50^\circ$
$\angle\text{BAC}=50^\circ$

$PQRS$ is a cyclic quadrilateral such that $PR$ is a diameter of the circle. If $\angle\text{QPR} = 67^\circ$ and $ \angle\text{SPR} = 72^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{QRS} =$
  • $41^\circ$
  • B
    $23^\circ $
  • C
    $67^\circ $
  • D
    $18^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$41^\circ$


In a cyclic quadrilateral, Opposite angles are supplementary.
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{R}=180^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{P}=67^\circ+72^\circ=139^\circ$
Thus, $\angle\text{R}=180^\circ-139^\circ=41^\circ$
i.e. $\angle\text{R}=\angle\text{QRS}=41^\circ$

MCQ 2041 Mark
Write the correct answer in the following: In Fig. if $AOB$ is a diameter of the circle and $AC = BC,$ then $\angle\text{CAB}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $30^\circ $.
  • B
    $60^\circ .$
  • C
    $90^\circ .$
  • $45^\circ .$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$45^\circ .$

As $AOB$ is a diameter of the circle,
$\angle\text{C}=90^\circ$
$[\because$ Angles in a semi-circle is $90^\circ ]$
Now, $AC = BC$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{B}$
$[\because$ Angles opposite to equal sides of triangle are equal$]$
Using angle sum property of a triangle, we have
$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ\Rightarrow2\angle\text{A}+90^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow2\angle\text{A}=90^\circ\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=90^\circ\div2=45^\circ$
Hence, $(d)$ is the correct answer.

MCQ 2061 Mark
In Fig., $AB$ and $CD$ are two equal chords of a circle with centre $O.\ OP$ and $OQ$ are perpendiculars on chords $AB$ and $CD,$ respectively. If $\angle\text{POQ}=150^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{APQ}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $60^\circ $
  • B
    $30^\circ$
  • C
    $15^\circ $
  • $75^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: D.
$75^\circ $


As $AB = CD$
So, $OP = OQ ($equal chords are equidistant from the centre$)$
$\angle1=\angle2 ($angles opposite to equal sides are equal$)$
$\angle1+\angle2+\angle\text{POQ}=180^\circ$
$\angle1+\angle1+150^\circ=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle1=15^\circ$
Since $APB$ is a line segement
$\therefore\angle\text{BPO}+\angle1+\angle\text{APQ}=180^\circ$
$90^\circ+15^\circ+\angle\text{APQ}=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{APQ}=75^\circ$

$AD$ is diameter of a circle, $O$ being the centre and $AB$ is a chord. Let the centre of $AB$ be denoted by $M,$ then find $OM.$
  • $7\ cm$
  • B
    $8\ cm$
  • C
    $6\ cm$
  • D
    $5\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$7\ cm$

Join $OM. OM$ will be perpendicular to $AB$. Since the line joining the midpoint of a chord to the centre is always perpendicular to the chord.
$AB = 48\ cm,$ so, $\text{AM}=\frac{48}{2}=24\text{cm} (O$ is the midpoint of $AD)$
Now, applying pythagoras theorem, we get:-
$O A^2=\mathrm{AM}^2+O M^2$
$25^2=24^2+O M^2$
$O M^2=25^2-24^2$
$O M^2=625-576=49$
$O M=7 \mathrm{~cm}$

Let $\triangle\text{ABC}$ be an equilateral triangle.
Let $AD$ be one of its medians.
Then, $\text{AD}\perp\text{BC}$ and $BD = 4.5cm$
In right $\triangle\text{ADB},$

In the given figure $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral in which $AB || DC$ and $\angle\text{BAD}=100^\circ.$ Then, $\angle\text{ABC}=?$
  • A
    $80^\circ$
  • $100^\circ$
  • C
    $50^\circ$
  • D
    $40^\circ$
     
Answer
Correct option: B.
$100^\circ$

Since $AB || DC,$
$\angle\text{ADC}+\angle\text{BAD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 100^\circ+\angle\text{BAD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BAD}=80^\circ$
We know that the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.
$\angle\text{BAD}+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 80^\circ+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{ABC}=100^\circ$

Write the correct answer in the following: $ABCD$ 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
    $80^\circ .$
  • $50^\circ .$
  • C
    $40^\circ .$
  • D
    $30^\circ .$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$50^\circ .$

Given, $ABCD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral and $\angle\text{ADC}=140^\circ.$

We know that, sum of the opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is $180^\circ .$
$\angle\text{ADC}+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 140^\circ+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ-140^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{ABC}=40^\circ$
Since, $\angle\text{ACB}$ is an angle in a semi-circle.
$\therefore\angle\text{ACB}=90^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{ABC},\ \ \angle\text{BAC}+\angle\text{ACB}+\angle\text{ABC}=180^\circ$ [by angle sum property of a triangle]
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAC}+90^\circ+40^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAC}=180^\circ-130^\circ=50^\circ$

A chord is at a distance of $8\ cm$ from the centre of a circle of radius $17\ cm.$ The length of the chord is:
  • A
    $12.5cm$
  • $30cm$
  • C
    $25cm$
  • D
    $9cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$30cm$

Here $OA = 17\ cm$ and $OL = 8\ cm$
$\mathrm{AL}^2=\mathrm{OA}^2-\mathrm{OL}^2=(17)^2-(8)^2=289-64=225$. [using paythagoras theorem]
$\Rightarrow\text{AL}=\sqrt{225}=15$
$⇒ AB = (2 × AL) = (2 × 15)\ cm = 30\ cm.$

Write the correct answer in the following: If $AB = 12\ cm, BC = 16\ cm$ and $AB$ is perpendicular to $BC,$ then the radius of the circle passing through the points $A, B$ and $C$ is:
  • A
    $6\ cm$
  • B
    $8\ cm$
  • $10\ cm$
  • D
    $12\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$10\ cm$

$AB$ is perpendicular to $BC,$ therefore $ABC$ is a right triangle.
In right $\triangle\text{ABC},$ we have
$\text{AC}=\sqrt{\text{AB}^2+\text{BC}^2}$
$=\sqrt{(12)^2+(16)^2}$
$\sqrt{144+256}$
$\text{AC}=20\text{cm}$
$\therefore\text{Radius}=\frac{1}{2}\times\text{diameter}=\frac{1}{2}\times20\text{cm}=10\text{cm}$
Hence, $(c)$ is the correct answer.

In the given figure, $O$ is the centre of a circle and $\angle\text{AOC}=120^\circ.$ Then, $\angle\text{BDC}=?$
  • A
    $45^\circ$
  • $30^\circ$
  • C
    $15^\circ$
  • D
    $60^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$30^\circ$

$\angle\text{COB}=180^\circ-120^\circ=60^\circ$ (Linear pair)
Now, arc $BC$ subtends $\angle\text{COB}$ at the centre and $\angle\text{BDC}$ at the point $D$ of the remaining part of the circle.
$\therefore\angle\text{COB}=2\angle\text{BDC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BDC}=\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{COB}=(\frac{1}{2}\times60^\circ)=30^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BDC}=30^\circ$

In the given figure if $\angle\text{CAB}=49^\circ$ and $\angle\text{ADC}=43^\circ,$ then the measure of $\angle\text{ACB}$ is:
  • A
    $74^\circ$
  • B
    $92^\circ$
  • $88^\circ$
  • D
    $96^\circ$
Answer

Here,
$\angle\text{CAB}=49^\circ=\angle\text{BDC}$ {Angles in same segment are equal}
So, $\angle\text{BDA}=43^\circ+49^\circ=92^\circ$
Now, $ACBD$ is a cyclic quadrilateral, so, sum of opposite angles is $180^\circ $
$\angle\text{BDA}+\angle\text{ACB}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{ACB}=180-92=88^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CEB}=(180^\circ-110^\circ)=70^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CEB}=70^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{CEB},$ we have:
$\angle\text{CEB}+\angle\text{EBC}+\angle\text{ECB}=180^\circ$ (Angle sum property of a triangle)
$\Rightarrow70^\circ+30^\circ+\angle\text{ECB}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ECB}=(180^\circ-100^\circ)=80^\circ$
