In the given figure, $CD$ is the diameter of a circle with centre $O$ and $CD$ is perpendicular to chord $AB.$ If $AB = 12\ cm$ and $CE = 3\ cm,$ then radius of the circles is:
  • A
    $6\ cm$
  • B
    $9\ cm$
  • $7.5\ cm$
  • D
    $8\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$7.5\ cm$


$\mathrm{OA}=\mathrm{OC}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}=\mathrm{OE}+\mathrm{CE}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}=\mathrm{OE}+3$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OE}=\mathrm{OA}-3 ...(i)$
$\mathrm{AE}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{AB}[\text { Perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle to the chord bisect the chord }]$
$=\frac{1}{2}(12)=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
$\text { In right } \triangle \mathrm{OEA}$
$\mathrm{OA}^2=\mathrm{OE}^2+\mathrm{AE}^2$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}^2=(\mathrm{OA}-3)^2+\mathrm{AE}^2\left[\mathrm{From}(\text { i })\right]$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}^2=\mathrm{OA}^2-6 \mathrm{OA}+9+\mathrm{AE}^2$
$\Rightarrow 6 \mathrm{OA}=9+6^2$
$\Rightarrow 6 \mathrm{OA}=9+36$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OA}=\frac{45}{6}=7.5 \mathrm{~cm}$

Let $O$ be the centre of the circle with radius $OA = 13\ cm.$
$AB$ is given to be $10\ cm.$
Distance of a point to a line is always perpendicular to the line.
So, $\text{OL}\perp\text{AB}.$
We know that, the perpendicular drawn from the centre to the chord bisects the chord.
$⇒ AL = LB = 5\ cm$
In right $\triangle\text{OLA},$
$\mathrm{OL}^2=\mathrm{AO}^2-\mathrm{AL}^2[\text { By pythagoras theorem }]$
$\Rightarrow O L^2=13^2-5^2$
$\Rightarrow O L^2=169-25$
$\Rightarrow O L^2=144$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{OL}=12 \mathrm{~cm}$

$\Rightarrow\ 20^\circ+20^\circ+\angle\text{AOB}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOB}=140^\circ$
Now,
$OB = OC [$Radii of the same circle$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{OBC}=\angle\text{OCB}=50^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{OCB},$
$\angle\text{OBC}+\angle\text{OCB}+\angle\text{COB}=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property]
$\Rightarrow\ 50^\circ+50^\circ+\angle\text{COB}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{COB}=80^\circ$
So,
$\angle\text{AOB}=\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COB}$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{AOB}-\angle\text{COB}$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOC}=140^\circ-80^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOC}=60^\circ$

In the given figure, $P$ and $Q$ are centers of two circles intersecting at $B$ and $C.$  $ACD$ is a straight line. Then, the measure of $\angle\text{BQD}$ is:
  • A
    $115^\circ $
  • $150^\circ$
  • C
    $105^\circ$
  • D
    $130^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$150^\circ$

 
$\angle\text{APB}=150^\circ,$ so, $\angle\text{ACB}=75^\circ$ {Angle subtended by an arc at centre is twice the angle subtended at any point on circumference}
Now, ACD is straight line, so, $\angle\text{ACB}+\angle\text{DCB}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{DCB}=180-75=105^\circ$
Now, angle subtended by arc BD on centre is twice of $\angle\text{DCB}=2\times105=210^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{BQD}=360^\circ-210^\circ=150^\circ$

In the given figure $PQ = QR = RS$ and $\angle\text{PTS}=75^\circ$ then the measure of $\angle\text{QOR}$ is:
  • A
    $75^\circ$
  • B
    $25^\circ$

  • $70^\circ$
  • B
    $90^\circ$
  • C
    $65^\circ$
  • D
    $110^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$70^\circ$

$BC = CD ($given$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BDC}=\angle\text{CBD}=35^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{BCD},$ we have:
$\angle\text{BCD}+\text{BDC}+\angle\text{CBD}=180^\circ ($Angle sum property of a triangle$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCD}+35^\circ+35^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCD}=(180^\circ-70^\circ)=110^\circ\Rightarrow\angle\text{BCD}=110^\circ$
In cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD,$ we have:
$\angle\text{BAD}+\angle\text{BCD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}+110^\circ=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{BAD}=(180^\circ-110^\circ)=70^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}=70^\circ$

  • A
    $125^\circ$
  • B
    $120^\circ$
  • $105^\circ$
  • D
    $115^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$105^\circ$

Here, $AOB$ is diameter,
So, $\angle\text{BOE}=180-150=30^\circ$ {Angles lie in straight line}
Now, $OE\ \&\ OB$ are radius so, $OE = OB$ .i.e $\angle\text{OEB}=\angle\text{OBE}$
In $\triangle\text{BOE},\angle\text{BOE}+\angle\text{OBE}+\angle\text{BEO}=180^\circ$
$=30+2\angle\text{OBE}=180^\circ$
$=2\angle\text{OBE}=180-30=150^\circ$
$=\angle\text{OBE}=75^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{OBE}$ and $\angle\text{CBE}$ lie on staright line
so, $\angle\text{OBE}+\angle\text{CBE}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{CBE}=180-75=105^\circ$
