Solution
2. (c) Concentric
Explanation: Concentric circles are those circle that are drawn with same point as
centre but different radii.
3. (c) 28°
Explanation:
ZADB + ZBDC = 118°
900 + BDC = 118 ’ BDC = 28°
4. (a) 30°
Explanation:
Since the chord is equal to the radius therefore, it will form an equilateral triangle
inside the circlewith the third vertex being the centre of the circle.
So the chord will make an angle of 60 at the centre. As the angle made by the chord
at any other point of the circumfrence would be half.
So, we have that angle made at the major segment would be 30.
5. (a) 40°
Explanation:
Here, AB || CD and ADC = 25°,
So, ZDAB = 25°, (opposite interior angles are equal)
Now, ZADC =25°, so, AOC =50° ( Angle subtended by arc AC at centre is twice
the angle subtended at circumference)
Similarly. ZDAB = 25°, So, ZDOB 50°( Angle subtended by arc BD at centre is
twice the angle subtended at circumference)
LAOB + ZDOB + ZAOC =180° (AlI lie in straight line)
LAOB = 180- 50 - 50 = 80°
Now, ZAEB -40°(Angle subtended by arc AB at centre is twice the angle subtended
at circumference)
6. sector
8. Since arc BPC makes B0C at the centre and ZBAC at a point on the remaining part
of the circle.
ZBAC = ZBOC
Now, ZBOC = 360-(120° + 80) = 160°
.. ZBAC = ZBOC)
’ZBAC= x 1600 =800
9. Proof:
’ LA+LC= 180°
And angle sumproperty of quadrilateral, we get LB+Z D=180°
Hence, ABCD is a cyclic trapezium.
11. Given: A cyclic rectangle ABCD in which diagonals AC and BD intersect at Point O
To Prove: 0 is the centre of the circle
Proof: ABCD is a rectangle
AC= BD
Now as the diagonals AC and BD are intersecting at O.
BD 0s the diameter of the circle (if angle made by the chord at the circde is right angle
then the chord is the diameter)
AO=0C, OB-OD (diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other and are equal)
A0=0C-0B-OD
Hence,centre of the circle circumscribing the cyclic rectangle ABCD is the point of
intersection of its diagonals.
A, B, C, D lie on the same circle
12. OA = OB = AB | Given
..AOAB is equilateral
.'.ZAOB =600
LACB=ZAOB
[The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at
any point on the remaining part of the circle)
= x 60° = 30°
Now,. ADBC is a cyclic quadrilateral.
..ZADB +ZACB (The sum of either pair of oppositeangles of a cyclic quadrilateral
is 1809)
’ADB + 30° = 1800
’ ZADB = 180-300
’ LADB = 150
.".ZBEC =1800
= 1800-60° = 1200
14. Construction: Draw two circles having centres O and O' intersecting at pointsA and B.
Draw a parallel line PQ to 00' Join 00, OP, O'Q, OM and O»N
To Prove: PQ = 200
Proof: In ZOPB,
BM = MP. ....)
( from the centre to the circle bisects the chord)
Similarly, in AO'BQ.
BN =N Q . ..(i)
from the centre to the circle bisects the chord)
Adding i) and (ii),
BM + BN= PM + NÌ
Adding BM + BN to both the sides
BM + BN + BM + BN = BM + PM + NÌ + BN
2BM + 2BN = PQ
2(BM + BN) = P0 ... .....1)
Again,
00'= MN [As 00' NM is a rectangle) ....(iv)
’200' = PO
Henced proved.
15. Given :- AB and AC are two equal chords of circle with centre O. Also, OPl AB at M
and 00 TAC at N.
To Prove :- PB = 0C
Proof :-We know that, the perpendicular from the centre ofa circle toa chord bisects
the chord.
.. AM = MB = AB I. OP L AB]
and AN =NC =AC (t.: 0Q LAC]
Since, it is given that AB = AC,
:}AB- Ac
’ AM = MB = AN= NC....() [from the above derived results]
Now, in APMB and A QNC, we have
MB = NC [from Equation (i))
ZPMB =QNC (each 909)
OM = ON ...(iü)
(. equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre]
OP =0Q radii of same circle]...(iüi)
’ OP- OM = 00- ON [on subtracting Equation (ii) from Equation (iii)]
’ PM= ON
.. By SAS congruence rule, we can write that, APMB AQNC
’ PB = ÌC [as corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are equal )
Hence Proved.
