In a parallelogram $ABCD$, if $\text{DAB} = 75^\circ$ and $\angle\text{DBC} = 60^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{BDC} =\ ?$
  • A
    $50^\circ$
  • $45^\circ$
  • C
    $65^\circ$
  • D
    $75^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$45^\circ$


We know that the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
Therefore, $\angle\text{BCD} = \angle\text{BAD} = 75^\circ...\ \text{(i)}$
$(i)$ Now, in $\triangle\text{BCD},$
We have,
$\angle\text{CDB} + \angle\text{DBC} + \angle\text{BCD} = 180^\circ$ [Since, sum of the angles of a triangle is $180^\circ ]$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{CDB} + 60^\circ + 75^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{CDB} + 135^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{CDB} = (180^\circ - 135^\circ) = 45^\circ$

  • Rectangle
  • B
    Trapezium
  • C
    Square
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
Rectangle


Let $ABCD$ be a rhombus and $P,Q,R$ and $S$ be the mid-points of sides $AB, BC, CD$ and $DA$ respectively.
In $\triangle {ABD} $ and $\triangle {BDC} $
we have,
$ {SP || BD}$ and $ {SP}=\frac{1}{2} {BD}\ ...\ {(1)}$ [By mid-point and theorem]
$ {RQ || BD}$ and $ {RQ}=\frac{1}{2} {BD}\ ...\ {(2)}$ [By mid-point and theorem]
rom $(1)$ and $(2)$ we get,
$ {SP || RQ}$
$PQRS$ is a parallelogram
As diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.
$\therefore {AC\perp BD}$
Since, $ {SP || BD, PQ || AC}$ and $ {AC\perp BD}$
$\therefore {SP\perp PQ}$
$\therefore \angle {QPS} = 90^\circ$
$\therefore {PQRS}$ is a rectangle.

In each of the questions one question is followed by two statements $I$ and $II$. Choose the correct option.Is quadrilateral $\text{ABCD}$ a parallelogram?
$i$.Diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ bisect each other.
$ii$.Diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ are equal.
  • A
    If the question cannot be answered by using both the statements together.
  • If the question can be answered by one of the given statements alone and not by the other.
  • C
    If the question can be answered by both the statements together but not by any one of the two.
  • D
    If the question can be answered by either statement alone.
Answer
Correct option: B.
If the question can be answered by one of the given statements alone and not by the other.
Here, as we know that if the diagonals of a ​quadrilateral bisects each other, then it is a parallelogram.
But as per $II$, if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal, then it is not necessarily a ​parallelogram which is not true. Thus, $II$ does not give the answer.
So the question can be answered by the one of the given statement alone and not by the other.

The bisectors of the angle of a parallelogram enclose a:
  • A
    Parallelogram.
  • B
    Rhombus.
  • Rectangle.
  • D
    Square.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Rectangle.


$A R, B R, C P, D P$ are the bisectors of angles of parallelogram.
Because two bisectors of adjacent angles make $90^{\circ}$ between them So $PQRS$ is a Rectangle
Because $DP$ and $BR$ are acute angle bisectors so the distance between them $PQ < PS$ (The distance between other two bisectors) So $PQ \neq PS$ (So $PQRS$ is not a square, but only a rectangle)

  • $90^\circ$
  • B
    $30^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • D
    $60^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$90^\circ$


Given: A parallelogram $ABCD$ such that the bisectors of adjacent angles $A$ and $B$ intersect at $P.$
To prove: $\angle\text{APB} = 90^\circ$
Proof: Since $ABCD$ is a ||gm
$\therefore \ \text{AD || BC}$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ$ [sum of consecutive interior angle]
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\angle\text{A}+\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{B}=90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle1+\angle2=90^\circ\ ...\ \text{(i)}$
[$\because$ AP is the bisector of $\angle\text{A}$ and BP is the bisector of $\angle\text{B}$]
$\angle1=\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{A}$ and $\angle2=\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{B}$
Now, $\triangle\text{APB},$ we have
$\angle1 + \angle\text{APB} + \angle2 = 180^\circ$ [sum of three angles of a $\triangle$]
$\Rightarrow 90^\circ + \angle\text{APB} + \angle2 = 180^\circ$ [$\because \angle1 + \angle2 = 90^\circ$ from (i)]
Hence, $\angle\text{APB} = 90^\circ$

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:
  • A
    Rhombus.
  • B
    Parallelogram.
  • Trapezium.
  • D
    Kite.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Trapezium.
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 $360^\circ .$
$3x + 7x + 6x + 4x = 360^\circ $
$\Rightarrow 20x = 360^\circ $
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}=360^\circ}{20^\circ=18^\circ}$
$\therefore$ 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.

The figure formed by joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of a square is a:
  • A
    Parallelogram
  • Square
  • C
    Rhombus
  • D
    Rectangle
Answer
Correct option: B.
Square

In a square $A B C D, P, Q, R$ and $S$ are the mid-points of $A B, B C, C D$ and $D A$ respectively. $\Rightarrow A B=B C=C D=A D \ldots$ [Sides of square are equal]
In $\triangle\text{ADC},$
$\text{SR || AC}$ and $\text{SR}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}$ ... [By mid-point theorem] $...(1)$
In $\triangle\text{ABC},$
$\text{PQ || AC}$ and $\text{PQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}$ ... [By mid-point theorem] $...(2)$
From equation $(1)$ and $(2)$
$\text{SR || PQ}$ and $\text{SR}=\text{PQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}\ ...\ (3)$
Similarly, $\text{SP || BD}$ and $\text{BD || RQ}$
$\therefore\ \text{SP || RQ}$ and $\text{SP}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$
And $\text{RQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$
$\therefore\ \text{SP}=\text{RQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$
Since, diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angle.
$\text{AC = BD}$
$\text{SR}=\text{RQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}\ ...\ (4)$
From $(3)$ and $(4)$
$SR = PQ = SP = RQ$
We know that the diagonals of a square bisect each other at right angles.
$\angle\text{EOF} = 90^\circ.$
Now, $\text{RQ || DB}$
$\text{RE || FO}$
Also, $\text{SR || AC}$
$\Rightarrow\text{FR || OE}$
$\therefore$ OERF is a parallelogram.
So, $\angle\text{FRE} = \angle\text{EOF} = 90^\circ$ (Opposite angles are equal)
Thus, $PQRS$ is a parallelogram with $\angle\text{R} = 90^\circ$ and $SR = PQ = SP = RQ.$
$\therefore$ $PQRS$ is a square.

$ABCD$ is a parallelogram and $E$ and $F$ are the centroids of triangles $ABD$ and $BCD$ respectively, then $EF =$
  • $AE.$
  • B
    $BE.$
  • C
    $CE.$
  • D
    $DE.$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$AE.$


Centroid is the point where all medians of a meet.
In $\triangle\text{ABD}, E$ is the centroid,
And in $\triangle\text{BCD}, F$ is the centroid.
By the property of centroid, centroid divides a median in $2 : 1$
So from figure,
$\frac{\text{AE}}{\text{EO}}=\frac{2}{1}\Rightarrow\text{EO}=\frac{\text{AE}}{2}\ ...(1)$
Also $\frac{\text{CF}}{\text{FO}}=\frac{2}{1}\Rightarrow\text{FO}=\frac{\text{CF}}{2}\ ...(2)$
Because $AC$ is a digonal of a parallelogram, $O$ is its midpoint.
$\Rightarrow OA = OC$
$\Rightarrow AE = CF$
Adding equations $(1) \& (2),$
$\text{EO + FO} =\frac{\text{AE}+\text{CF}}{2}=\frac{\not2\text{AE}}{\not2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{EF}=\frac{\not2\text{AE}}{\not2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{EF}=\text{AE}$

The quadrilateral formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral $ABCD$, taken in order, is a rhombus, if:
  • A
    $ABCD $is a Parallelogram.
  • B
    $ABCD $is rhombus.
  • Diagonals of $ABCD $are equal.
  • D
    Diagonals of $ABCD $are perpendicular to each other.
Answer
Correct option: C.
Diagonals of $ABCD $are equal.


In $\triangle\text{ABC}, P$ and $Q$ are the mid-points of sides $AB$ and $BC$ respectively.
$\therefore\text{PQ || AC}$ and $\text{PQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC ...(i)}$
In $\triangle\text{BCD},$ Q and R are the mid-points of sides $BC$ and $CD$ respectively.
$\therefore\text{QR || BD}$ and $\text{QR}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD ...(ii)}$
In $\triangle\text{ADC},$ S and R are the mid-points of sides $AD$ and $CD$ respectively.
$\therefore\text{RS || AC}$ and $\text{RS}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC ...(iii)}$
In $\triangle\text{ABD},$ P and S are the mid-points of sides $AB$ and $AD$ respectively.
$\therefore\text{SP || BD}$ and $\text{SP}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD ... (iv)}$
$\Rightarrow\text{PQ ∥ RS}$ and $\text{QR ∥ SP}$ [From $(i), (ii), (iii)$ and $(iv)]$
Thus, $PQRS$ is a parallelogram.
Now, $AC = BD$ (given)
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$
$\Rightarrow\text{PQ = QR = RS = SP }$ [From $(i), (ii), (iii)$ and $(iv)]$
Hence, $PQRS$ is a rhombus if diagonals of $ABCD$ are equal.

The figure formed by joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of a rectangle is a:
  • A
    Trapezium
  • Rhombus
  • C
    Square
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: B.
Rhombus

Here, length of rectangle $A B C D=8 cm$ and breadth of rectangle $A B C D=6 cm$.
Let $E , F , G$ and H are the mid-points of the sides of rectangle $ABCD$ , then $EFGH $is a rhombus.

Here, length of rectangle $A B C D=8 cm$
and breadth of rectangle $A B C D=6 cm$
Let $E, F, G$ and $H$ are the mid-points of the sides of rectangle $A B C D$, then $E F G H$ is a rhombus. Then, diagonal of rhombus EFGH are EG and HF.
Here, $EG = BC =8 cm$
And $HF = AB =6 cm$
$\therefore\ \text{Area of rhombus}=\frac{\text{Product of diagonals}}{2}$
$=\frac{8\times6}{2}=4\times6=24\text{cm}^2$
Hence, joining the mid-points of the adjacent sides of a rectangle forms a rhombus of area $24cm^2$.

  • C
    $100^\circ $ and $260^\circ $
  • D
    $25^\circ $ and $25^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: A.
$64^\circ $ and $26^\circ $

In Rectangle, diagonals are equal and bisect each other.
In $\triangle\text{APD, AP = PD}$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{ADP} = \angle\text{PAD} = \text{x}$ (angle opposite to equal sides are equal)
In $\triangle\text{APD}, \angle\text{APD} + \angle\text{PDA} + \angle\text{DAP} = 180^\circ$ (angle sum property)
$52^\circ + \text{x} + \text{x} = 180^\circ$
$2\text{x} = 180^\circ - 52^\circ = 128^\circ$
$\text{x} = 64^\circ$
$\angle\text{DAC} = \angle\text{BCA} = 64^\circ$ (alternate angles)
In $\triangle\text{ADB}, \angle\text{ADB} + \angle\text{DBA} + \angle\text{BAD} = 180^\circ$ (angle sum property)
$64^\circ + \angle\text{DBA} + 90^\circ = 180^\circ$
$\angle\text{DBA} = 180^\circ - 154^\circ = 26^\circ$

$\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{COB}$ (Opposite angles)
So by SAS property, $\triangle\text{AOD}\cong\triangle\text{COB},$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ADO}=\angle\text{CBO}\dots(1)$
$\angle\text{ABD}=180^\circ-\angle\text{A}-\angle\text{ADO}$ $($in $\triangle\text{ADB})$
$=180^\circ-45^\circ-\angle\text{ADO}$
$\angle\text{ABD}=135^\circ-\angle\text{ADO}\dots(2)$
$\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{ABD}+\angle\text{CBO}$

In given figure, $ABCD$ is a parallelogram, $M$ is the mid-point of $BD$ and $BM$ bisects $\angle\text{B}.$ Then, $\angle\text{AMB} =\ ?$
  • $80^\circ $
  • B
    $10^\circ$
  • C
    $90^\circ$
  • D
    $100^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$80^\circ $

$ ABCD$ is a parallelogram. $BD$ is the diagonal and M is the mid point of $BD.\ BD$ is a bisector of $\angle\text{B}.$
We know that, diagonals of the parallelogram bisect each other.
$\therefore $ M is the mid point of $AC.$
$\text{AB || CD}$ and $BD$ is the transversal,
$\therefore \angle\text{ABD} = \angle\text{BDC}\ ...(1)$ (Alternate interior angles)
$\angle\text{ABD} = \angle\text{DBC}\ ...(2)$ (Given)
From $(1)$ and $(2),$ we get
$\angle\text{BDC} = \angle\text{DBC}$
In $\triangle\text{BCD},$
$\angle\text{BDC} = \angle\text{DBC}$
$\Rightarrow BC = CD ...(3) ($In a triangle, equal angles have equal sides opposite to them$)$
$AB = CD$ and $BC = AD ...(4) ($Opposite sides of the parallelogram are equal$)$
From $(3)$ and $(4),$ we get
$AB = BC = CD = DA$
$\therefore ABCD$ is a rhombus.
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{AMB} = 90^\circ ($Diagonals of rhombus are perpendicular to each other$)$

  • Rectangle.
  • B
    Parallelogram.
  • C
    Rhombus.
  • D
    Quadrilateral whose opposite angles are supplementary.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Rectangle.

Let's assume our quadrilateral $ABCD$ as a parallelogram:

We know
$\angle\text{DCB} + \angle\text{ABC} = 180^\circ($ Co-interior angles of parallelogram are supplementary$)$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{DCB} + \angle\text{ABC} = 90^\circ ($Both sides divide by $2)$
$\Rightarrow \angle1+ \angle2 =90^\circ ... (1)$
In, $\triangle\text{CQB}$ we know
$\Rightarrow\angle1+ \angle2 +\angle\text{CQB} = 180^\circ ... (2)$
From eq. $(1)$ and eq. $(2),$ We get
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CQB} = 180^\circ - 90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{CQB}= 90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{PQR}= 90^\circ$ (because $\angle\text{CQB} = \angle\text{PQR},$ vertically opposite angles)
Similarly, it can be shown
$\angle\text{QPS} = \angle\text{PSR} =\angle\text{SRQ} = 90^\circ$
So, quadrilateral $PQRS$ is a rectangle.

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$]$

  • A
    $x = 30^\circ $ and $y = 65^\circ $
  • $x = 30^\circ $ and $y = 95^\circ $
  • C
    $x = 32^\circ $ and $y = 95^\circ $
  • D
    $x = 38^\circ $ and $y = 85^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: B.
$x = 30^\circ $ and $y = 95^\circ $

 Given, $ABCD$ is a parallelogram.
So,
$\angle\text{A} =\angle\text{C} ($Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal in size$)$
$\Rightarrow 3x - 20 = x + 40$
$\Rightarrow 3x - x = 40 + 20$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 60$
$\Rightarrow x = 30^\circ $
Thus, $\angle\text{A} = 3 \times 30 - 20 = 90 - 20 = 70^\circ$
Now, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}=180^\circ ($Sum of interior angles of parallelogram is $180^\circ )$
$\Rightarrow 70^\circ + \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{B}= 180^\circ - 70^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{B}= 110^\circ$
$\Rightarrow y + 15 = 110^\circ $
$\Rightarrow y = 95^\circ $
Hence, $x = 30^\circ $ and $y = 95^\circ $

$\angle\text{CBD}=\angle\text{ABD} \{$from eq $(1)\}$
$DB = DB ($Common$)$
$\angle\text{ADB}=\angle\text{CDB} \{$from eq $(4)\}$
Hence, by ASA property,
$\triangle\text{ADB}\cong\triangle\text{CBD}$
