Question 11 Mark
Write the correct answer in the following:
A diagonal of a rectangle is inclined to one side of the rectangle at 25º. The acute angle between the diagonals is:
  1. 55º
  2. 50º
  3. 40º
  4. 25º
Answer
  1. 50º
Solution:
We know that, digonals of a rectangle are equal in length.

$\therefore\ \text{AD}=\text{BD}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{2}\text{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$ [dividing both sides by 2]
$\Rightarrow\ \text{OA}=\text{OB}$ [since, O is the mid-point of AC and BD]
$\Rightarrow\ \angle2=\angle1$ [angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
$=25^\circ$
$\therefore\ \angle3=\angle1+\angle2$
[exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite intersite interior angles]
$=25^\circ+25^\circ=50^\circ$
Hence, the acute angle between the diagonals is 50°

Question 51 Mark
Write the correct answer in the following:
If angles A, B, C and D of the quadrilateral ABCD, taken in order, are in the ratio 3 : 7 : 6 : 4, then ABCD is a:
  1. Rhombus.
  2. Parallelogram.
  3. Trapezium.
  4. Kite.
Answer
  1. Trapezium.
Solution:
Given, ratio of angles of quadrilateral ABCD is 3 : 7 : 6 : 4.
Let angles of quadrilateral ABCD be 3x, 7x, 6x and 4x, respectively. We know that, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360°
⇒ 20x = 360°
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}=360^\circ}{20^\circ=18^\circ}$
$\therefore$ Angles of the quadrilateral are
$\angle\text{A}=3\times18=54^\circ$
$\angle\text{B}=7\times18=126^{\circ} $
$\angle\text{C}=6\times18=108^\circ$
$\angle\text{D}=4\times18=72^\circ$
From figure, $\angle\text{BCE}=180^\circ-\angle\text{BCD}$ [linear pair axiom]
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BCE}=180^\circ-108^\circ=72^\circ$
Here, $\angle\text{BCE}=\angle\text{ADC}=72^\circ$
Since, the of cointerior angles,
$\therefore\ \text{BC}||AD$
Now, sum of cointerior angles,
$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}=126^\circ+54^\circ=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{C}+\angle\text{D}=108^\circ+72^\circ=180^\circ$
Hence, ABCD is a trapezium.

Question 61 Mark
Write the correct answer in the following:
D and E are the mid-points of the sides AB and AC respectively of $\Delta\text{ABC}.$ DE is produced to F. To prove that CF is equal and parallel to DA, we need an additional information which is:
  1. $\angle\text{DAE}=\angle\text{EFC}$
  2. $\text{AE}=\text{EF}$
  3. $\text{DE}=\text{EF}$
  4. $\angle\text{ADE}=\angle\text{ECF}$
Answer
  1. $\text{DE}=\text{EF}$
Solution:
We need $\text{DE}=\text{EF}.$

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.

Question 71 Mark
Write the correct answer in the following:
The diagonals AC and BD of a parallelogram ABCD intersect each other at the point O. If $\angle\text{DAC}=32^\circ$ and $\angle\text{AOC}=70^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{DBC}$ is equal to:
  1. 24º
  2. 86º
  3. 38º
  4. 32º
Answer
  1. 38º
Solution:
Given, $\angle\text{AOB}=70^\circ$ and $\angle\text{DAC}=32^\circ$
 
$\therefore\angle\text{ACB}=32^\circ$ [AD||BC and AC is transver sal]
Now, $\angle\text{AOB}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$ [linear pair axiom]
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ-\angle\text{AOB}=180^\circ-70^\circ=110^\circ$
Now, in $\Delta\text{BOC},$ we have
$\angle\text{BOC}+\angle\text{BCO}+\angle\text{OBC}=180^\circ$[by angle sum property of a tringle]
$\Rightarrow\ 110^\circ+32^\circ\angle\text{OBC}=180^\circ$ $[\because\angle\text{BCO}=\angle\text{ACB}=32^\circ]$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{OBC}=180^\circ-(110^\circ+32^\circ)=38^\circ$
$\therefore\ \angle\text{DBC}-\angle\text{OBC}=38^\circ$

Question 81 Mark
Write the correct answer in the following:
D and E are the mid-points of the sides AB and AC of $\Delta\text{ABC}$ and O is any point on side BC. O is joined to A. If P and Q are the mid-points of OB and OC respectively, then DEQP is:
  1. A square.
  2. A rectangle.
  3. A rhombus.
  4. A parallelogram.
Answer
  1. A parallelogram.
Solution:
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.

Question 101 Mark
Write the correct answer in the following:
ABCD is a rhombus such that $\angle\text{ACB}=40^\circ.$ then $\angle\text{ADB}$ is:
  1. 40º
  2. 45º
  3. 50º
  4. 60º
Answer
  1. 50º
Solution:
ABCD is a rhombus such thet $\angle\text{ACB}=40^\circ.$
We know that diagonnals of rhombus bisect each other right angles.
In right $\Delta\text{BOC},$ we have

$\angle\text{OBC}=180^\circ-(\angle\text{BOC}+\angle\text{BCO})$ (angle sum property)
$=180^\circ-(90^\circ+40^\circ)=50^\circ$
$\therefore\ \angle\text{DBC}=\angle\text{OBC}=50^\circ$
Now,
$\angle\text{ADB}=\angle\text{DBC}$ [Alt. int. $\angle\text{s}$ ]
$\therefore\ \angle\text{ADB}=50^\circ[\therefore\angle\text{DBC}=50^\circ]$
Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
