MCQ 1021 Mark
The Diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ of a Parallelogram $ABCD$ intersect each other at point $O$. If $\angle\text{DAC}=32^\circ$ and $\angle\text{AOB}=70^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{DBC}$ is equal to:
  • $38^\circ$
  • B
    $24^\circ$
  • C
    $86^\circ$
  • D
    $32^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$38^\circ$
$\angle\text{DAC} = \angle\text{ACB} = 32^\circ$ (alternate angles)$\angle\text{AOB} + \angle\text{COB} = 180^\circ$ (linear pair)
$\angle\text{COB} = 180 - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$
In triangle $BOC,$
$\angle\text{BOC} + \angle\text{OCB} + \angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ$ (angle sum property)
$110^\circ + 32^\circ+ \angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ$
$\angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ - 142^\circ = 38^\circ$

MCQ 1031 Mark
If one angle of a parallelogram is $24^\circ $ less than twice the smallest angle, then the largest angle of the parallelogram is:
  • A
    $68^\circ$
  • B
    $102^\circ$
  • $112^\circ$
  • D
    $136^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$112^\circ$

Let the smallest angle be $x^\circ $
$\Rightarrow $ its adjacent angle $= (2x - 24)$
Since sum of the adjacent angles $= 180^\circ $
$\Rightarrow x + 2x - 24 = 180$
$\Rightarrow 3x = 204$
$\Rightarrow x = 68^\circ $
So, its adjacent angle $= 2(68) - 24 = 136 - 24 = 112^\circ .$
Hence, the largest angle of the parallelogram is $112^\circ .$

The quadrilateral formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral $ABCD$, taken in order, is a rectangle, if:
  • A
    $ABCD$ is a Parallelogram
  • B
    $ABCD$ is rectangle
  • C
    Diagonals of $ABCD$ are equal
  • Diagonals of $ABCD$ are perpendicular to each other.
Answer
Correct option: D.
Diagonals of $ABCD$ are perpendicular to each other.


In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ P and $Q$ are the mid-point of sides $AB$ and $BC$ respectively.
$\therefore\text{PQ || AC}$ and $\text{PQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC }...(\text{i})$
In $\triangle\text{ADC},$ R and $S$ are the mid-point of sides $CD$ and $AD$ respectively.
$\therefore\text{RS || AC}$ and $\text{RS}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC }...(\text{ii})$
From $(i)$ and $(ii),$
$\text{PQ ∥ RS}$ and $\text{PQ = RS}$
Thus, in quadrilateral $PQRS$, a pair of opposite sides are equal are parallel.
So, $PQRS$ is a parallelogram.
Let the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $O.$
Now, in $\triangle\text{ABD},$ $P$ and S are the mid-points of sides $AB$ and $AD$ respectively.
$\therefore\text{PS || BD}$
$\Rightarrow\text{PN || MO}$
Also, from $(i)$, $\text{PQ || AC}$
$\Rightarrow\text{PM || NO}$
Thus, in quadrilateral $PMON$, $\text{PM || NO}$ and $\text{PN || MO},$
$⇒ PMON$ is a parallelogram.
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{MPN}=\angle\text{MON}$ (opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{MPN}=\angle\text{BOA}$ $(\text{Since }\angle\text{BOA}=\angle\text{MON})$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{MPN}=90^{\circ}$ $(\text{Since }\text{AC}\perp\text{BD},\angle\text{BOA}=90^{\circ})$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{QPS}=90^{\circ}$
Thus, $PQRS$ is a parallelogram whose one angle, i.e. $\angle\text{QPS}=90^{\circ}.$
Hence, $PQRS$ is a rectangle if $\text{AC}\perp\text{BD}.$

  • A
    Rhombus.
  • B
    Quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary.
  • Rectangle.
  • D
    Parallelogram.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Rectangle.
Let's assume our quadrilateral $ABCD$ as a parallelogram:

we know
$\angle\text{DCB} + \angle\text{ABC} = 180^\circ$ (Co-interior angles of parallelogram are supplementary)
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\angle\text{DCB} + \frac{1}{2}\angle\text{ABC} = 90^\circ$ (Both sides divide by $2)$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{1} + \angle\text{2} =90^\circ... (1)$
In, $\triangle\text{CQB}$ we know
$ \Rightarrow \angle\text{1} + \angle\text{2} +\angle\text{CQB} = 180^\circ ... (2)$
From eq $(1)$ and eq $(2),$ We get
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{CQB} = 180^\circ − 90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{CQB} = 90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{PQR} = 90^\circ$ (because $\angle\text{CQB} = \angle\text{PQR},$ vertically opposite angles)
Similarly, it can be shown
$\angle\text{QPS} = \angle\text{PSR} =\angle\text{SRQ} = 90^\circ$
So, quadrilateral $PQRS$ is a rectangle.

If $\angle\text{A},\angle\text{B},\angle\text{C}$ and $\angle\text{D}$ of a quadrilateral $ABCD$ taken in order, are in the ratio $3 : 7 : 6 : 4$ then $ABCD$ is a:
  • A
    Rhombus.
  • B
    Kite.
  • Trapezium.
  • D
    Parallelogram.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Trapezium.

Let the common multiple be $x .$
$\therefore$ The angle measure $3 x, 7 x, 6 x$ and $4 x$.
Since the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is $360^{\circ}$, we have
$3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360$
$⇒ 20x = 360$
$⇒ x = 18°$
$\therefore$ The angles of the quadrilateral are
$3x = 3(18) = 54°$
$7x = 7(18) = 126°$
$6x = 6(18) = 108°$ and
$4x = 4(18) = 72°$Now, $54+126=180^{\circ}$ and $108+72=180^{\circ}$
So, the angles are interior angles and hence we get one pair of parallel sides of $A B C D$. Hence, $A B C D$ is a trapezium.

The diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ of a parallelogram $ABCD$ intersect each other at the point $O$. If $\angle\text{DAC}=32^\circ$ and $\angle\text{AOB}=70^\circ$ then, $\angle\text{DBC}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $24^\circ$
  • B
    $86^\circ$
  • $38^\circ$
  • D
    $40^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$38^\circ$


Let $ABCD$ is the parallelogram, in which $AC$ and $BD$ are diagonals that intersect at $O.$
We have, $\angle\text{DAC} = 32^\circ; \ \angle\text{AOB} = 70^\circ$ [given]
Since $ABCD$ is a ||gm, so $\text{AB || CD}$ and $\text{AD || BC}.$
Since $\text{AD || BC},$ and AC is a transversal,
Then $\angle\text{ACB} = \angle\text{DAC}$ [alternate interior angles]
So, $\angle\text{ACB} = 32^\circ \Rightarrow \angle\text{OCB} = 32^\circ$
Since, $\angle\text{AOB}$ and $\angle\text{OBC}$ form a linear pair, then $\angle\text{AOB} + \angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow 70^\circ+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ\Rightarrow \angle\text{BOC} = 180^\circ − 70^\circ \Rightarrow \angle\text{BOC}=110^\circ$
In $\angle\text{OBC},$
We have, $\angle\text{BOC} + \angle\text{OCB} + \angle\text{OBC} =180^\circ$ [angle sum property]
$\Rightarrow 110^\circ + 32^\circ + \angle\text{OBC} = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow 142^\circ + \angle\text{OBC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{OBC} = 180^\circ−142^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{OBC} = 38^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{DBC} = 38^\circ$

A diagonal of a rectangle is inclined to one side of the rectangle at $35^\circ $. The acute angle between the diagonals is:
  • A
    $55^\circ$
  • B
    $50^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • $70^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$70^\circ$
$\angle\text{OAD} = 90^\circ - (\angle\text{OAB})$$= 90^\circ - 35^\circ = 55^\circ.$
Now, $\angle\text{ODA} = \angle\text{OAD} = 55^\circ$ [$∵ OA = OD$ since diagonals of a rectangles are equal and bisect each other].
$\angle\text{AOD} = 180^\circ - (\angle\text{OAD} + \angle\text{ODA})$
$= 180^\circ - (55^\circ + 55^\circ) = 70^\circ.$

Let tha common multipal be $x.$
$\therefore$ The angle measure $3x, 4x, 5x$ and $6x.$
Since the sum of the angles of a quadrilateral being $360^\circ $, we have
$3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 360^\circ $
$\Rightarrow 18x = 360^\circ $
$\Rightarrow x = 20^\circ $
$\therefore$ The angles of the quadrilateral are
$3x = 3(20) = 60^\circ ,$
$4x = 4(20) = 80^\circ ,$
$5x = 5(20)= 100^\circ ,$

In the given figure, $ABCD$ is a Rhombus. Find the value of $x$ and $y?$
  • A
    $x = 35^{\circ}$ and $y = 35^{\circ}$
  • B
    $x = 40^{\circ}$ and $y = 40^{\circ}$
  • $x = 37^{\circ}$ and $y = 37^{\circ}$
  • D
    $x = 45^{\circ}$ and $y = 45^{\circ}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$x = 37^{\circ}$ and $y = 37^{\circ}$

$ABCD$ is a rhombus and a rhombus is also a parallelogram. A rhombus has four equal sides.
In $\triangle\text{ABC},\ \angle\text{BAC} = \angle\text{BCA} = \text{x}$
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$
$x + x + 110^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$(angle sum property of triangle)
$\Rightarrow 2 x=180^{\circ}-110^{\circ}=70^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow x=35^{\circ}$
Now, $\angle\text{B} + \angle\text{C} = 180^\circ$ (Adjacent angles are supplementary)
But, $\angle\text{C} = \text{x} + \text{y} = 70^\circ$
$\Rightarrow y=70^{\circ}-x$
$\Rightarrow y=70^{\circ}-35^{\circ}=35^{\circ}$
Hence, $x=35^{\circ}$ and $y=35^{\circ}$

  • D
    $90^\circ , 90^\circ , 100^\circ , 80^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$35^\circ , 100^\circ , 105^\circ , 120^\circ $
given: $\angle\text{A}+ \angle\text{C}=140^\circ$
and $\angle\text{A}:\angle\text{C} = 1:3$
and $\angle\text{B}:\angle\text{D} = 5:6$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{A}= \frac{1}{4} \times 140^\circ - 35^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{C}= \frac{3}{4} \times 140^\circ - 105^\circ$
Now according to angle sum property of quadrilateral
$\angle\text{A} +\angle\text{B}+ \angle\text{C}+ \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
$\Rightarrow 35^\circ+ \angle\text{B}+ 105^\circ +\angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{B}+ \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ - 140^\circ = 220^\circ$
$\Rightarrow 5\text{x} + 6\text{x} = 220^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=20^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{B} = 5 \times 20^\circ = 100^\circ$
and $\angle\text{D} = 6 \times 20^\circ = 120^\circ$

  • A
    $20\ cm$
  • B
    $80\ cm$
  • $51\ cm$
  • D
    $52\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$51\ cm$

Given:
$A, B, C$ is a triangle .
$P, Q, R$ are the mid-points of sides $BC , CA $ and $AB .$
$AC = 21cm$
$BC = 29cm$
$AB = 30cm$
To find:
Perimeter of quadrilateral $A R Q P$ ?
$Q$ is the mid-point of $A C$
$P$ is the mid-point of $B C$
$Q P$ is parallel to $A B$
$QP =$ half of AB (according to mid point theorem)
$A B=30 cm, Q P=15 CM (Q P$ is half of $B A)$ (proved above)
$R$ is the mid-point of side $A B$.
$Q P$ is also parallel to $A R$ (half of side $A B$ )
$P R$ is parallel to $A C$
$P R=$ half of $A C$ (according to mid point theorem)
$A C=21 cm, P R=10.5 cm$ ( $P R$ is half of $A C$ ) (proved above)
$P R$ is parallel to $A Q$ ( $A Q$ is half of $A C$ )
Since, in quadrilateral $ARQP$ both the opposite sides are parallel it is a parallelogram.
Therefore, $ARQP$ is a parallelogram.
We know that
In parallelogram, opp sides are equal.
Therefore,
$PR = AQ = 10.5cm$
$QP = AR = 15cm$
$10.5cm + 10.5cm + 15cm + 15cm = 51cm.$
Therefore the perimeter of quadrilateral,
$ARQP = 51cm.$
