If point P divides segment AB in the ratio 1:3 where A(-5 , 3) and B(3 , -5) then the coordinates of P are -----------------
  • A
    ( -2, -2 )
  • B
    ( -1 , -1 )
  • (-3 , 1 )
  • D
    ( 1, - 3 )
Answer
Correct option: C.
(-3 , 1 )
$(-3,1)$

$\text { Let } A\left(x_1, y_1\right)=A(-5,3) \text { and } B\left(x_2, y_2\right)=B(3,-5) \text {, }$

$a: b=1: 3$

$\therefore x_1=-5, y_1=3, x_2=3, y_2=-5, a=1, b=3 .$

$\therefore$ By section formula,

$\begin{array}{l|l}

\therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{a x_2+b x_1}{a+b} & \therefore \mathrm{y}=\frac{a y_2+b y_1}{a+b} \\

\therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{1(3)+3(-5)}{1+3} & \therefore \mathrm{y}=\frac{1(-5)+3(3)}{1+3} \\

\therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{3-15}{4} & \therefore \mathrm{y}=\frac{-5+9}{4} \\

\therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{-12}{4} & \therefore \mathrm{y}=\frac{4}{4} \\

\therefore \mathrm{x}=-3 & \therefore \mathrm{y}=1

\end{array}$

$\therefore$ Co-ordinates of $P$ are $(-3,1)$.

Points A, B, C are on a circle, such that m(arc AB) = m(arc BC) = 120°. No point, except point B, is common to the arcs. Which is the type of ∆ ABC?
  • Equilateral triangle
  • B
    Scalene triangle
  • C
    Right angled triangle
  • D
    Isosceles triangle
Answer
Correct option: A.
Equilateral triangle

Image
$m(\operatorname{arc} A B)=m(\operatorname{arc~BC})=120^{\circ}$
Now,
$m(\operatorname{arc} A B)+m(\operatorname{arc} B C)+m(\operatorname{arc} C A)=360^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow 120^{\circ}+120^{\circ}+m(\operatorname{arc} C A)=360^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow 240^{\circ}+m(\operatorname{arc} C A)=360^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow m(\operatorname{arc} C A)=360^{\circ}-240^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$
$\therefore m(\operatorname{arc} A B)=m(\operatorname{arc} B C)=m(\operatorname{arc} C A)$
$\Rightarrow \operatorname{arc} A B \cong \operatorname{arc} B C \cong \operatorname{arc} C A$
(Two arcs are congruent if their measures are equal)
$\Rightarrow$ chord $A B \cong$ chord $B C \cong$ chord $C A$ (Chords corresponding to congruent arcs of a circle are congruent)
$\therefore \triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is an equilateral triangle. ..(All sides of equilateral triangle are equal)
Hence, the correct answer is option Equilateral triangle.

$P(x, y)=P(1,1)$ divides $A B$ in ratio $5: 2$.

$\therefore \mathrm{x}_1=1, \mathrm{y}_1=1, \mathrm{x}_2=-1, \mathrm{y}_2=-1, \mathrm{a}=5, \mathrm{~b}=2 \text {. }$

$\therefore$ By section formula,

$\therefore \mathrm{x}=\frac{a x_2+b x_1}{a+b}$

$\therefore 1=\frac{5(-1)+2 x_1}{5+2}$

$\therefore 7=-5+2 x_1$

$\therefore 7=-5+2 x_1$

$\therefore 2 \mathrm{x}_1=7+5$

$\therefore 2 \mathrm{x}_1=12$

$\therefore \mathrm{x}_1=\frac{12}{2}$

$\therefore \mathrm{x}_1=6$

$\therefore$ Co-ordinates of A are $(6,6)$.

  • 9.7
  • B

Answer
Correct option: A.
9.7

Let the two circles having centres $P$ and $R$ touch each other externally at point $Q$.
Image
Here, $P Q=5.5 \mathrm{~cm}, Q R=4.2 \mathrm{~cm}$
The two circles touch each other externally...(P-Q-R)
If the circles touch each other externally, distance between their centres is equal to the sum of their radii.
$\therefore$ By theorem of touching circles,
$\therefore P R=P Q+Q R$
$\therefore P R=5.5+4.2$
$\therefore P R=9.7 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\therefore$ The distance between the centres of the circles is $9.7 \mathrm{~cm}$.

$A B C D$ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
$2 \angle A=3 \angle C$
Now,
$\angle \mathrm{A}+\angle \mathrm{C}=180^{\circ}$ $\quad$.......(Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary$
$\left.\Rightarrow \frac{3}{2} \angle C+\angle C=180^{\circ} \quad \text { [From }(1)\right]$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{2} \angle C=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle C=\frac{2 \times 180^{\circ}}{5}=72^{\circ}$
Thus, the measure of $\angle \mathrm{C}$ is $72^{\circ}$.
Hence, the correct answer is $72^{\circ}$.

The distance between points P ( -1 , 1 ) and Q(5, -7 ) is ------------..
  • A
    11 cm
  • 10 cm
  • C
    5 cm
  • D
    7 cm
Answer
Correct option: B.
10 cm
$10 \mathrm{~cm}$

Let $P\left(x_1, y_1\right)=P(-1,1)$ and $Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)=Q(5,-7)$

Here, $x_1=-1, y_1=1, x_2=5, y_2=-7$

By distance formula,

$d(P, Q)=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$\therefore d(P, Q)=\sqrt{[5-(-1)]^2+(-7-1)^2}$

$\therefore d(P, Q)=\sqrt{36+64}$

$\therefore d(P, Q)=\sqrt{100}$

$\therefore d(P, Q)=10 \mathrm{~cm}$

MCQ 391 Mark
∠ACB is inscribed in arc ACB of a circle with centre O. If ∠ ACB = 65°, find m(arc ACB).
  • A
    65°
  • B
    130°
  • C
    295°
  • 230°
Answer
Correct option: D.
230°

$230^{\circ}$
Explanation:
Image
The measure of an inscribed angle is half of the measure of the arc intercepted by it. By inscribed angle theorem,
$\therefore m \angle A C B=\frac{1}{2} m(\operatorname{arc} A B)$
$\therefore \mathrm{m}(\operatorname{arc} A B)=2 \mathrm{~m} \angle A C B$
$=2 \times 65^{\circ}$
$=130^{\circ}$
$\therefore \mathrm{m}(\operatorname{arc} A C B)=360^{\circ}-\mathrm{m}(\operatorname{arc} A B)$
$=360^{\circ}-130^{\circ}$
$\left.=230^{\circ} \ldots \ldots \text{[ Measure of a circle is } 360^{\circ}\right ]$
Hence, the correct answer is $230^{\circ}$.

Out of given triplets, which is not a Pythagoras triplet ?
  • A
    (9,40,41)
  • B
    (11,60,61)
  • (6,14,15)
  • D
    (6,8,10)
Answer
Correct option: C.
(6,14,15)
$(6,14,15)$

Here, $15^2=225$

$6^2+14^2=36+196=232$

$\therefore 15^2 \neq 6^2+14^2$

The square of the largest number is not equal to the sum of the squares of the other two numbers.

$\therefore(6,14,15)$ is not a Pythagoras triplet.

If $\triangle XYZ \sim \triangle PQR$ and $A (\Delta XYZ )=25 cm ^2, A (\Delta PQR )=4 cm ^2$ then $XY : PQ =$ ?
  • A
    $4: 25$
  • B
    $2: 5$
  • $5: 2$
  • D
    $25: 4$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$5: 2$

5 : 2
In $\triangle X Y Z$ and $\triangle P Q R$
$\triangle X Y Z \sim \triangle P Q R$
$A(\triangle X Y Z)=25 \mathrm{~cm}^2, A(\triangle P Q R)=4 \mathrm{~cm}^2$
by the theorem of areas of similar triangles,
$\frac{A(\Delta X Y Z)}{A(\triangle P Q R)}=\frac{X Y^2}{P Q^2}$
$\therefore \frac{25}{4}=\frac{X Y^2}{P Q^2}$
$\therefore \frac{X Y}{P Q}=\frac{5}{2}$
$\therefore X Y: P Q=5: 2 .$

Let $P\left(x_1, y_1\right)=P(2,2)$ and $Q\left(x_2, y_2\right)=Q(5, x)$

Here, $x_1=2, y_1=2, x_2=5, y_2=x$

By distance formula,

$d(P, Q)=\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$\therefore 5=\sqrt{(5-2)^2+(x-2)^2}$

$\therefore 5=\sqrt{9+x^2-4 x+4}$

$\therefore 5^2=x^2-4 x+13 \quad \ldots[\text { Squaring both sides] }$

$\therefore 25=x^2-4 x+13$

$\therefore x^2-4 x+13-25=0$

$\therefore x^2-4 x-12=0$

$\therefore(x-6)(x+2)=0$

$\therefore x-6=0 \text { or } x+2=0$

$\therefore x=6 \text { or } x=-2$ $\quad$[..Squaring both sides]

A circle touches all sides of a parallelogram. So the parallelogram must be a, ......... .
  • A
    rectangle
  • rhombus
  • C
    square
  • D
    trapezium
Answer
Correct option: B.
rhombus

ABCD is a parallelogram. A circle with centre $O$ touches the parallelogram at $E, F, G$ and $H$.
Image
$A B C D$ is a parallelogram.
$\therefore A B=C D\quad ...(1)$ (Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal$
$\mathrm{AD}=\mathrm{BC}\quad ...(2)$ (Opposite sides of parallelogram are equal)
Tangent segments drawn from an external point to a circle are congruent.
$\mathrm{AE}=\mathrm{AH} \quad ...(3)$
$\mathrm{DG}=\mathrm{DH} \quad ...(4)$
$\mathrm{BE}=\mathrm{BF} \quad ...(5)$
$\mathrm{CG}=\mathrm{CF} \quad ...(6)$
Adding (3), (4), (5) and (6), we get
$A E+B E+C G+D G=A H+D H+B F+C F$
$\Rightarrow A B+C D=A D+B C\quad ...(7)$
From (1), (2) and (7), we ahve
$2 A B=2 B C$
$\Rightarrow A B=B C \quad ...(8)$
From (1), (2) and (8), we have
$A B=B C=C D=A D$
$\therefore$ Parallelogram $A B C D$ is a rhombus. $\quad$ (A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal)
Hence, the correct answer is rhombus.
