In $\triangle\text{BOD}$ and $\triangle\text{CAB},$
Since BOC is the diameter, $\angle\text{CAB}=90^\circ.$
Also, $\angle\text{ODB}=90^\circ.$
So, $\angle\text{DBO}=\angle\text{ABC} [$Common angles$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \triangle\text{BOD}\sim\triangle\text{BCA} [AA $ congruence criterion$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{OD}}{\text{CA}}=\frac{\text{BO}}{\text{BA}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{OD}}{\text{CA}}=\frac{1}{2} [$Since radius $= 2$ diameter$]$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{6}{\text{CA}}=\frac{1}{2}$

If the length of a chord of a circle is $16\ cm$ and is at a distance of $15\ cm$ from the centre of the circle, then the radius of the circle is:
  • A
    $15\ cm$
  • B
    $34\ cm$
  • $17\ cm$
  • D
    $16\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$17\ cm$
We will represent the given data in the figure

In the diagram, $AB$ is the given chord of $16\ cm$ length and $OM$ is the perpendicular distance from the centre to $AB.$
We know that perpendicular from the centre to any chord divides it into two equal parts.
So, $\text{AM}=\text{MB}=\frac{16}{2}=8\text{cm}.$
Now consider right triangle $\triangle\text{OMA}$ and by using Pythagoras theorem $\angle\text{OMA}=90^\circ$
$AO^2= AM^2 + OM^2$
$AO^2 = 8^2 + 15^2$
$AO^2 = 64 + 225 = 289$
$\text{AO}=\sqrt{289}=17\text{cm}$

A chord of length $14\ cm$ is at a distance of $6\ cm$ from the centre of a circle. The length of another chord at a distance of $2\ cm$ from he centre of the circle is:
  • A
    $12\ cm$
  • $18\ cm$
  • C
    $14\ cm$
  • D
    $16\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$18\ cm$

We are given the chord of length $14\ cm$ and perpendicular distance from the centre to the chord is $6\ cm.$ We are asked to find the length of another chord at a distance of $2\ cm$ from the centre.
We have the following figure

We are given $AB = 14\ cm, OD = 6\ cm, MO = 2\ cm, PQ = ?$
Since, perpendicular from centre to the chord divide the chord into two equal parts
Therefore
$A O^2=A D^2+O D^2 \text { [using paythagoras theorem] }$
$=7^2+6^2$
$=49+36$
$\mathrm{AO}=\sqrt{85}$
Now consider the $\triangle O P Q$ in which $O M=2 \mathrm{~cm}$
So using Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle \mathrm{OPM}$
$P M^2=O P^2-O M^2$
$=(\sqrt{85})^2-2^2(\because O P=A O=\text { radius })$
$P M^2=81$
$P M=9 \mathrm{~cm}$
Hence $P Q=2 P M$
$=2 \times 9$
$P Q=18 \mathrm{~cm}$

Here, $\angle\text{ABC}$ is supplementary to $\angle\text{CBQ}$
So, $\angle\text{ABC}=180-48=132^\circ.$
Since, $ABCD$ is cyclic quadrilateral, $\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{D}=180^\circ$ {opposite angles are supplementery}
So, $\angle\text{D}=180-132=48^\circ$
Now, in triangle PDC, $\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{D}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$= a + 48^\circ + (48^\circ + b) = 180^\circ $ {since, $\angle\text{C}$ is external angle to B and b, and sum of two opposite interior angles is equal to external angle}
$= 3b + 96 = 180^\circ $
$3b = 180 - 96 = 84$

    $66^\circ $
  • B
    $33^\circ $
  • $54^\circ $
  • D
    $36^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$54^\circ $

$\angle\text{OPQ}=\angle\text{OQP}=30^\circ ($Angles of isosceles triangle $OPQ)$
Also, in triangle $OPQ,$
$\angle\text{O}+\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{Q}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{O}=30^\circ+30^\circ=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{O}=180^\circ-60^\circ=120^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{POQ}=120^\circ\ ...(\text{i})$
Again, in triangle $ORQ$
$\angle\text{R}=\angle\text{Q}=57^\circ$
And $\angle\text{O}+\angle\text{R}+\angle\text{Q}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{O}+57^\circ+57^\circ=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{O}+180^\circ-114^\circ=66^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{ROQ}=66^\circ\ ...(\text{ii})$
From$(1)$ and $(2)$, we get :-
$\angle\text{POR}=\angle\text{POQ}-\angle\text{ROQ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{POR}=120^\circ-66^\circ=54^\circ$

The given figure shows two congruent circles with centre $O$ and $O’$ intersecting at $A$ and $B$. If $\angle\text{AO}'\text{B}=50^\circ,$ then the measure of $\angle\text{APB}$ is:
  • $25^\circ $
  • B
    $50^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • D
    $40^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$25^\circ $


Since both the triangles are congruent,
So, $OA = O'A,$
$OB = O'B$
$AB = AB ($Common$)$
Hence, $\triangle\text{AOB}\cong\triangle\text{AO}'\text{B}$
Thus, $\angle\text{AOB}=\angle\text{AO}'\text{B}=50^\circ$
Since, PB is a straight line, therefore:-
$\angle\text{AOP}+\angle\text{AOB}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOP}=180^\circ-50^\circ=130^\circ$
Again, In triangle $OPA,$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{P}=\angle\text{A}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{P}+\angle\text{O}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow2\angle\text{P}+130^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{P}=\frac{50^\circ}{2}=25^\circ$
Thus, $\angle\text{OPA}=25^\circ$

In the given, $AB$ is side of regular five sided polygon and $AC$ is a side of a regular six sided polygon inscribed in the circle with centre $O. AO$ and $CB$ intersect at $P,$ then $\angle\text{APB}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $72^\circ$
  • B
    $90^\circ$
  • C
    $86^\circ$
  • $96^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$96^\circ$


Here $AC$ is side of hexagon, so it will subtend $60^\circ $ angle at centre and also sides & radius are equal.
Thus, $AC = OC = OA$ and $\angle\text{COA}=\angle\text{OAC}=\angle\text{ACO}=60^\circ$
AB is side of pentagon, so it would subtend angle of $\frac{360}{5}=72^\circ$ angle at centre.
So, $\angle\text{BOP}=72^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{COB}=72+60=132^\circ$
Also since, $\text{OC},\text{OB},\angle\text{OCP}=\text{OBP}$
$\triangle\text{COB}\angle\text{COB}+\angle\text{OBC}+\angle\text{OCB}=180^\circ$
$2\angle\text{OBC}=180-(132)=48^\circ$
$\angle\text{OBC}=24^\circ$
Now, $\triangle\text{BOP}\angle\text{BOP}+\angle\text{OPB}+\angle\text{PBO}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{OPB}=180-(24+72)=180-96=84^\circ$
Now,
$\angle\text{APB}$ and $\angle\text{OPB}$ lie on straight line, so they are supplementry angles.
$\angle\text{APB}=180-\angle\text{OPB}=180-84=96^\circ$

Here, $\angle\text{ADC}$ and $\angle\text{ADE}$ are supplementary to each other,
So, $\angle\text{ADC}=180-95=85^\circ$
Also, $ABCD$ is also a cyclic quadrilateral so, $\angle\text{ADC}$ and $\angle\text{ABC}$ are supplementary
So, $\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ADC}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{ABC}=180-95=85^\circ$
angle subtended at centre is double the angle suntended at circumference.
So, $\angle\text{AOC}=170^\circ$

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


Since $AB$ is perpendicular to $BC,$ therefore $ABC$ is a right-angled triangle right angled at $B$. As clear from the figure, $AC$ would act as the diameter
$\mathrm{AB}^2+\mathrm{BC}^2=\mathrm{AC}^2$
$12^2+16^2=A C^2$
$A C=20$
Since $AC$ is diameter so radius $= 10\ cm.$

Two chords $AB$ and $CD$ of a circle intersect each other at a point E outside the circle. If $AB = 11\ cm, BE = 3\ cm$ and $DE = 3.5\ cm,$ then $CD = ?$
  • A
    $10.5\ cm$
  • B
    $9.5\ cm$
  • $8.5\ cm$
  • D
    $7.5\ cm$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$8.5\ cm$
Construction: Join $AC$.
$\frac{\text{AE}}{\text{CE}}=\frac{\text{DE}}{\text{BE}}$
$\Rightarrow AE \times BE = DE \times CE ...(i)$
Then,
$AE = AB + BE = 11 + 3 = 14\ cm, BE = 3\ cm, CE = (x + 3.5)\ cm$ and $DE = 3.5\ cm$
So, from $(i),$ we get
$14 \times 3 = 3.5 \times (CD + 3.5)$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{14\times3}{3.5}=\text{CD}+3.5$
$\Rightarrow 12 = CD + 3.5$
