If bisectors of $\angle\text{A}$ and $\angle\text{B}$ of a quadrilateral $ABCD$ intersect each other at $P,$ of $\angle\text{B}$ and $\angle\text{C}$ at $Q,$ of $\angle\text{C}$ and $\angle\text{D}$ at $R$ and of $\angle\text{D}$ and $\angle\text{A}$ at $S,$ then $PQRS$ is $a:$
  • Quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary.
  • B
    Parallelogram.
  • C
    Rhombus.
  • D
    Rectangle.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary.

Let the half of the $\angle\text{A} , \angle\text{B}, \angle\text{C}$ and $\angle\text{D}$ are denoted by $a, b, c$ and $d$ respectively.
$\text{a + b} + \angle\text{APB} = 180$ and $\text{c + d} + \angle\text{DRC} = 180($angle sum property$).$
$\angle\text{APB} = \angle\text{QPS} $ and $\angle\text{DRC} = \angle\text{QRS} ($vertically opposite angles$).$
So, $\angle\text{QPS} + \angle\text{QRS} = (180 - \text{a} - \text{b)} + (180 - \text{c} - \text{d)}$
$= 360\ -\ (\text{a + b + c + d)}$
$= 360 - \frac{1}{2} $ of $(\angle\text{ A} + \angle\text{B} + \angle\text{C} + \angle\text{D})$
$= 360 - \frac{1}{2} $ 0f $360 = 180$
Therefore, $\angle\text{QPS}$ and $\angle\text{QRS}$ are supplementary.

$ABCD$ is a trpezium in which $AB || DC.\ M$ and $N$ are then mid-points of $AD$ and $BC$ respectively. If $AB = 12\ cm, MN = 14\ cm,$ then $CD =$
  • A
    $10\ cm.$
  • B
    $12\ cm.$
  • C
    $14\ cm.$
  • $16\ cm.$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$16\ cm.$



Let a line $BP$ is drawn $||$ to $AD$ to meet $DC$ at $ P.$
$ABPD$ is a parallelogram.
$AB || PD, AD || BP$
So $AB = DP$
Let $BP$ cuts $MN$ at $Q$.
$MQ$ is also $||$ to $AB || PD$
So $AB = MQ = PD = 12\ cm ...(1)$
$QN = MN - MQ = 14 - 12 = 2\ cm$
Consider $\triangle\text{BPC}.$
Q and N are the mid-points of $BP$ & $BC,$ and the line joining them $QN || PC.$
Then by property, $\frac{\text{QN}}{\text{PC}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$⇒ PC = 2QN = 2 × 2 = 4\ cm$
Now, $DC = DP + PC$
$DP = 12\ cm [$From $(1)]$
$⇒ DC = 12 + 4 = 16\ cm$

    $\text{OP}=6.5\text{cm},\text{OQ}=6.5\text{cm},\text{OR}=5.2\text{cm},\text{OS}=5.2\text{cm}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\angle\text{P}=100^\circ,\angle\text{Q}=80^\circ,\angle\text{R}=100^\circ$

In a parallelogram, opposite corner angles are equal and sum of adjacent angles $= 108^\circ $
Hence, in quadrrilateral $PQRS,$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{P}=\angle\text{R}$ and $\angle\text{Q}=\angle\text{S}$
Also, $\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{Q}=\angle\text{Q}+\text{R}=180^\circ$
Hence, if $\angle\text{P}=100^\circ$ and $\angle\text{Q}=80^\circ,$ then
$\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{Q}=100^\circ+80^\circ=180^\circ$
Also, if $\angle\text{Q}+=80^\circ$ and $\angle\text{R}=100^\circ$ then
$\angle\text{Q}+\angle\text{R}=80^\circ+100^\circ=180^\circ$

The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are $16\ cm$ and $12\ cm.$ The length of each side of the rhombus is:
  • $10\ cm$
  • B
    $12\ cm$
  • C
    $9\ cm$
  • D
    $8\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$10\ cm$

We konw that, the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
So, $Ac = 16\ cm$ and $BD = 12\ cm$
$⇒ OA = 8\ cm$ and $OB = 6\ cm$
Also, $\angle\text{OAB}=90^{\circ}$
In right $\triangle\text{OAB},$
By Pythagoras theorem,
$\text{AB}^2=\text{OA}^2+\text{OB}^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}^2=(8)^2+(6)^2$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}^2=64+36$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}^2=100$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=\sqrt{100}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}=10\text{cm}$
Hence, the length of each side of the rhombus is $10\ cm.$

  • B
    $45^\circ$
  • C
    $35^\circ$
  • $40^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$40^\circ$

 $\angle\text{DAC} = \angle\text{ACB} = 30^\circ $ (alternate angles)
$\angle\text{BOA} = \angle\text{BOC} = 180^\circ $ (linear pair)
$\angle\text{BOC} = 180^\circ - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{BOC},\ \angle\text{BOC} + \angle\text{OCB} + \angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ$ (angle sum property)
$110^\circ + 30^\circ + \angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ$
$\angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ - 140^\circ = 40^\circ = \angle\text{DBC}$

  • A
    A square.
  • B
    A rectangle.
  • C
    A rhombus.
  • A parallelogram.
Answer
Correct option: D.
A parallelogram.

Since the line segment joiing the mid-poients of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to third side and is half to it, so

$\therefore\ \text{DE}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BC}$ and $\text{DE}||\text{BC}$
Similarly, $\text{DP}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AO}$ and $\text{DP||AO}$
And $\text{EQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AO}$ and $\text{EQ||AO}$
$\therefore\ \text{DP}=\text{EQ}[\therefore\text{Each}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AO}]$
And $\text{DP||EQ}[\therefore\text{Each}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AO}]$
Now, $DEQP$ is quadrilateral in which one pair of its opposite is equal and parallel.
Therefore, quadrilateral $DEQP$ is a parallelogram.
Hence, $(d)$ is the correct answer.

Now since $ABCD$ is a parallelogram
$\therefore\text{AD || BC}$
Now $\text{AD || BC}$ and transversal $AB$ intersect them
$\therefore\angle\text{A}+ \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ  ( \therefore$ sum of consecutive interior angle is $180º)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{A}+\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{B}=90^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{1}+ \angle\text{2} = 90^\circ ( \therefore  AO$ and $BO$ are angle bisectors$) ... (1)$
In $\triangle\text{AOB}$ we have
$\angle1 + \angle\text{AOB} + \angle\text{2} = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow90^\circ +\angle\text{AOB} = 180^\circ$ from $(1))$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{AOB} = 180^\circ - 90^\circ = 90^\circ$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$60^\circ $

 Given,
$ABCD$ is a parallelogram
$\angle\text{A} + \angle\text{C} = 2(\angle\text{B} + \angle\text{D})$
$\angle\text{A} = 40^\circ$
$∵ \angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} + \angle\text{C} + \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$ [angle sum property of quadrilateral]
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{A} + \angle\text{C} + \angle\text{B} + \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
$⇒ 2(\angle\text{B} + \angle\text{D})+ \angle\text{B} + \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
$⇒ 3(\angle\text{B} + \angle\text{D})= 360^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{D}=\frac{360^\circ}{3}=120^\circ$
$\because\ \angle\text{B}=60^\circ$ [given]
$\therefore\ \angle\text{B}=120^\circ-60^\circ=60^\circ$

In Parallelogram $ABCD,$ bisectors of angles $A$ and $B$ intersect each other at $O$. The measure of $\angle\text{AOB}$ is:
  • A
    $120^\circ $
  • $90^\circ$
  • C
    $30^\circ$
  • D
    $60^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$90^\circ$

Given: $ABCD$ is a parallelogram in which $AO$ and $BO$ are angle bisectors of $\angle\text{A}$ and $\angle\text{B}.$
Now since $ABCD$ is a parallelogram
$∴ \text{AD || BC}$
Now $\text{AD || BC}$ and transversal $AB$ intersect them
$∴\ \angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ (∴$ sum of consecutive interior angle is $180º)$
$⇒\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{A}+\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{B}=90^\circ$
$⇒ \angle1 + \angle2 = 90^\circ (∴ AO$ and $BO$ are angle bisectors$) ...(i)$
In $\triangle\text{AOB}$ we have
$\angle1 + \angle\text{AOB} + \angle2 = 180^\circ$
$⇒ 90^\circ +\angle\text{AOB} = 180^\circ ($from $(i))$
$⇒ \angle\text{AOB} = 180^\circ – 90^\circ = 90^\circ$

In a rhombus $ABCD,$ if $\angle\text{ACB} = 40^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{ADB} =\ ?$
  • A
    $55^\circ $
  • B
    $60^\circ$
  • $50^\circ$
  • D
    $25^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$50^\circ$

 
Given $ABCD$ is a rhombus. Diagonals bisect each other perpendicularly.
Hence $\angle\text{BOC} = 90^\circ$
Given $\angle\text{OCB} = 40^\circ$
$\text{AD || BC}$ and BD is the transversal
$∴ \angle\text{ADB} = \angle\text{DBC}$ (Alternate angles)
Hence in right angled $\triangle\text{BOC},$
$\angle\text{BOC} + \angle\text{OCB} + \angle\text{OBC} = 180^\circ$
$⇒ 90^\circ + 40^\circ + \angle\text{OBC} = 180^\circ$
$⇒130^\circ + \angle\text{OBC} = 180^\circ$
$⇒ \angle\text{OBC} = 180^\circ - 130^\circ = 50^\circ$
But $\angle\text{OBC} = \angle\text{DBC}$
Therefore, $\angle\text{ADB} = 50^\circ.$

  • A
    $70^\circ $
  • B
    $100^\circ$
  • C
    $90^\circ$
  • $80^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$80^\circ$
Given,$ABCD$ is a rectangle

Diagonals $AC\ \&\ BD$ intersect each other at $P$
$\angle\text{ABD} = 50^\circ$
$∵$ diagonals of rectangle bisect each other and are equal in length
$⇒ \angle\text{ABD} = \angle\text{PDC}$ [alternate angles]
$⇒ \angle\text{PDC}= \angle\text{PCD} = 50^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{DPC}$
$⇒ \angle\text{DPC} + \angle\text{PCD} + \angle\text{PDC} = 180^\circ$
$⇒ \angle\text{DPC} + 50^\circ + 50^\circ= 180^\circ$
$⇒ \angle\text{DPC} = 180^\circ - 100^\circ = 80^\circ$
