(c) 2√5 cm
Explanation:
We will represent the given data in the figure.

We know that perpendicular drawn from the centre to the chord divides the chord into two equal parts.
So, AM = MB = AB
=

= 4 cm.

Using Pythagoras theorem in the △AMO, ∠ OMA = 90 ∘

OM2 = AO2 - AM2

OM2= 62 - 42
OM2= 36 - 16
−−
OM= √20
–
OM= 2√5 cm

2.
(c) 1.4 cm
Explanation:

We have, AB = AC = 6 cm
OB = OC = 5 cm
∴ ABOC is a kite.

Since, diagonals of kite are perpendicular to one another.

∠ OPB = ∠ OPC = 90°

Let OP = x ∴ AP = O A - OP = 5 - x ...(i)
In △OPB, (OB)2 = (OP)2 + (PB)2
⇒ (5)2 = x2 + (PB)2 ⇒ (PB)2 = 25 -x2 ...(ii)
In △APB, (AB)2 = (AP)2 + (PB)2
⇒ (6)2 = (5 - x)2 + (PB)2
⇒ (PB)2 = (6)2 - (5 - x)2 ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we have
25 - x2 = (6)2 - (5 - x)2

1 / 10
 ⇒ 25 - x2 = 36 - 25 - x2 + 10x
⇒ 14 = 10x ⇒ x = 1.4 cm

3.
(b) 110°
Explanation:
Given, ∠ BEC = 130° and ∠ ECD = 20°
Now, ∠ ABD = ∠ ACD (Angles in the same segment)
∴ ∠ ABD = 20° Now, in △AEB
∠ EBA + ∠ BAE = ∠ BEC (exterior angle property)

⇒ 20° + ZBAC = 130° ⇒ ZBAC = 110°

4.
(b) 50o
Explanation:
We are given m(AB
ˆ
) = 260o

Suppose point P is on the circle.

Since m(AB
ˆ
) = 260o
So, angle AOB = 360o - 260o = 100o
We know that angle subtended by chord AB at the centre is twice that of subtended at the point P
= 50o
∠AOB 100
So, ∠ APB = 2
= 2

==> ∠ APB = 50o

5.
(c) square
Explanation:

Let AB and CD be the diagonals of a circle such that AB ⊥ CD.

Joining points A, B, C, D in the order we see that AB and CD are the equal diagonals of quad. ACBD which intersect at a right
angle. every angle is equal to 90 ∘

∴ ACBD is a square.

6.
(d) 18 cm
Explanation:
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

2 / 10
 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
AO2 = AD2 + OD2 [using paythagoras theorem]
= 72 + 62
= 49 + 36
−−
AO= √85
Now consider the △OPQ in which OM = 2 cm
So using Pythagoras theorem in △OPM
PM2 = OP2 - OM2
= (√85) - 22 (∵ OP = AO = radius)
−− 2

PM2= 81
PM= 9 cm
Hence PQ = 2PM
=2×9
PQ= 18 cm

7.
(c) 5 : 6
Explanation:
Given, PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral.
∴ ∠ PSR + ∠ PQR = ∠ QPS + ∠ QRS = 180°

⇒ 2y + 3y = 2x + 4x

⇒ 5y = 6x ⇒ i.e., 5 : 6
x 5
=
y 6

8.
(d) 49°
Explanation:
Since angle subtended by an arc at centre is double the angle subtended by it on the remaining part of the circle.
1 1 ∘ ∘
∴ ∠P RQ = ∠P OQ = × 98 = 49
2 2

9.
(d) 89°, 37°
Explanation:
In △AEB, ∠ ABE + ∠ BEA + ∠ BAE = 180°
⇒ 35° + ∠ BEA + 54° = 180°
⇒ ∠ BEA = 91°
Now, ∠ AFD + ∠ DEA = 180° (opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral)
⇒ x + 91° = 180° => x = 89°

In △AFC, ∠ AFC + ∠ FCA + ∠ CAF = 180°

⇒ 89° + y + 54° = 180° ⇒ y = 37°

10. (a) 10 cm
Explanation:

3 / 10
 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
2 2 2
AB + BC = AC

2 2 2
12 + 16 = AC

AC = 20

Since AC is diameter so radius = 10 cm.

11.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
Given, one angle is 40o and opposite angle 140o.
We know, Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, i.e. they sum up to 180o.
Then, 40o + 140o = 180o.
Therefore, the given assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.

12. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:

Let, PQ be a chord of a circle with centre O and radius 10cm. Draw OR ⊥ PQ.
Now, OP = 10cm and OR = 5cm
In right triangle ORP, we get
OP2 = PR2 + OR2
PR2 = OP2 - OR2
PR2 = 102 - 52 = 75
−−
PR = √75 = 8.66
Since, the perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.
Therefore, PQ = 2 × PR
= 2 × 8.66 = 17.32 cm
13. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Since ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, so, its opposite angles are supplementary
∠ A + ∠ C = 180o ...(i)
Also, ∠ A - ∠ C = 60o ...(i)
On solving (i) and (ii), we get
∠ A = 120o, ∠ C = 60o
14.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

15.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
Two or more circles are called concentric circles if and only if they have same centre but different radii.

16. We observe that the arc BC makes ∠ BOC = z at the centre and ∠ BAC = x at a point on the circumference.
∴ z = 2x

In △OBC,we have ∠ OBC + ∠ OCB + ∠ BOC = 180 ∘

⇒ y + z + y = 180
∘

⇒ z + 2y = 180
∘

⇒ 2x + 2y = 180 ... [∵ z = 2x (as shown above)].

∘

⇒ x + y = 90 ∘

⇒ ∠ BAC + ∠ OBC = 90
∘

17.

x= 1

× (180° - 120°)
= 1

(60°) = 30°
(∵ Angle subtended by an arc of a circle at the centre is double the angle subtended by it at any point of the remaining part of the
circle.)
18. Radius of circle (OA) = 6 cm
Distance (OC) = 4 cm
In △OCA, by using Pythagoras theorem
AC2 + OC2 = OA2
AC2 + 42 = 62
AC2 = 36 – 16
AC2 = 20
AC = 4.47 cm
We know that, The perpendicular distance from centre to chord bisects the chord
AC = BC = 4.47 cm
Then, AB = 4.47 + 4.47
= 8.94 cm.
19. ∠ DBC = ∠ DAC = 70° [Angle in the same segment]
∠ DAB = ∠ DAC + ∠ CAB

70° + 30° = 100°

∠ DAB + ∠ BCD = 180° [Opposite angles if cyclic quadrilateral are supplementry]
100° + ∠ BCD = 180°
∠ BCD = 180° - 100° = 80°

20.

Given: T AS is tangent to the circle with centre O at point A.

∠OBA = 32°

In △OAB,
OA = OB [Radii of the same circle]
⇒ ∠ 1 = 32° [Angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]
In △OAB,

5 / 10
 ∠ 1 + ∠2 + 32° = 180° [Angle sum property of a triangle]
⇒ ∠2 + 32° + 32° = 180°

⇒ ∠2 = 180° − 64° = 116°

1 1
∠ 3= 2
∠2 =

∘
× 116 = 58° [Degree measure theorem]
T AS is tangent to the circle (Given)
∠ x = ∠AC B = 58° [Angles in the alternate segments are equal]

21. The figure is shown below:

In right triangles ACB and ADB, we have

∠AC B = 90 and ∠ADB = 90
∘ ∘

∘ ∘ ∘
∴ ∠AC B + ∠ADB = 90 + 90 = 180

Since, we know that if the sum of any pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180o then, the quadrilateral is cyclic. So, ADBC
is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Now on Joining CD, we can say that the angles ∠BAC and ∠BDC are made by BCˆ
in the same segment.
Therefore, ∠BAC = ∠BDC [∴ Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal]
Hence proved

22.

We know that, tangents from an exterior point to a circle are equal in length.
∴ AQ = AR [tangents from A].....(i)
BP = BQ [tangents from B]...(ii)
CP = CR [tangents from C]....(iii)
Now, perimeter of △ABC = AB + BC + AC [ sum of three sides of triangle]
= AB + BP + C P + AC
= (AB + BQ) + (C R + AC ) [ Using Eqs(ii) and (iii)]
= AQ + AR = AQ + AQ = 2AQ [from (i)]
⇒ Perimeter of the △ABC = 2AQ

⇒ AQ = Perimeter of △ABC

23. In △ACF, side CF is produced to B.
∴ ∠y = ∠1 + ∠3 [ext. ∠ = sum of int. opp. ∠s]. ...(i)

In △AED, side ED is produced to B.

∴ ∠1 + ∠x = ∠4

From (i) and (ii), we have

∠1 + ∠x + ∠y = ∠1 + ∠3 + ∠4

⇒ ∠x + ∠y = ∠3 + ∠4

= 2∠ 3 [∵ ∠ 4 = ∠ 3, angles in the same segment]

= ∠ z = [∵ ∠ AOB = 2∠ ACB]
Hence ∠x + ∠y = ∠z .
24. Given: ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AB || DC.
To prove :

6 / 10
 i. AD = BC
ii. AC = BD
Proof:

i. ∵ AB || DC and transversal AC intersects them [Alt. Int. ∠ s]

∴ ∠ DCA = ∠ BAC

∴ arc AD ≅ arc BC

∴ chord AD = chord BC

⇒ AD = BC

⇒ AC ≅BD

⇒chord AC = chord BD
⇒ AC = BD

25. Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.

i.e., ∠ CAD = ∠ CBD = 60°
We know that an angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
i.e., ∠ ADC = 90°
In △ADC, we have:
∠ ACD + ∠ ADC + ∠ CAD = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)
⇒ ​∠ ACD + 90° + 60° = 180°

⇒ ​∠ ACD = 180° - (90° + 60°) = (180° - 150°) = 30°

⇒ ​∠ CDE = ∠ ACD = 30° (Alternate angles as AC parallel to DE)

Hence, ∠ CDE = 30°

26. Given: ABCD is a cyclic parallelogram.
To prove: ABCD is a rectangle.

Proof: ∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

∴ ∠ 1 + ∠ 2 = 180o ---- (1)
[ ∵ Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary]
∴ ABCD is a parallelogram

∴ ∠ 1 = ∠2
From (1) and (2),
∠1 = ∠ 2 = 90o
∴ || gm ABCD is a rectangle.

27. i. (c) 180o

ii. Show that in a right triangle the sum of legs is longest for an isosceles right triangle when hypotenuse remains same.
Take for example the length of diameter (hypotenuse) = 5 units.
Road D and Road B are equal hence (Road D = 3.53 units).
Let Road E be = 1, Road F = 4.89 units.
Therefore, length of Road B + Road D is greater than Road E + Road F.
iii. (c) Road G divides Road F into two equal.

7 / 10
 iv. Yes, Priya is correct because arc corresponding to two equal roads (chords) are congruent.
28. i. In ΔAOP and ΔBOP
∠ APO = ∠ BPO (Given)

OP = OP (Common)
AO = OB (radius of circle)
Δ AOP ≅ ΔBOP
AP = BP (CPCT)
ii. In right ΔCOQ
CO2 = OQ2 + CQ2
⇒ 102 = 82 + CQ2
⇒ CQ2 = 100 - 64 = 36
⇒ CQ = 6
CD = 2CQ
⇒ CD = 12 cm

iii. In right ΔAOB

AO2 = OP2 + AP2
⇒ 102 = 62 + AP2
⇒ AP2 = 100 - 36 = 64
⇒ AP = 8

AB = 2AP
⇒ AB = 16 cm

OR
There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear points.

29.

Let A be the position of Ishita, B be the position of Isha and C be the position of Nisha
Given AB = BC = 24 m
OA = OB = OC = 20 m ... [Radii of circle]
Draw perpendiculars OP and OQ on AB and BC respectively.
Then,since the perpendicular from the center of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.Therefore,we have,
AP = PB = 12 m
In right △OPA,OP2 + AP2 = OA2
OP2 + (12)2 = (20)2
OP2 = 256 sq m
Therefore, OP = 16 m
From the figure, OABC is a kite since OA = OC and AB = BC.
Since the diagonals of a kite are perpendicular and the diagonal common to both the isosceles triangles is bisected by another
diagonal.
Therefore, ∠ ARB = 90° and AR = RC Area of △OAB

Hence, 1

Therefore, AR = 19.2 m
But AC = 2AR = 2(19.2) = 38.4 m
Thus the distance between Ishita and Nisha is 38.4 m
30. Given: Two circles with centres O and P intersecting at A and B.
Prove: OP is the perpendicular bisector of AB.
Construction: Join OA, OB, PA and PB. Let OP intersect AB at M.
Proof : In △OAP and △OBP
OA = OB |Radii of a circle
PA = PB |Radii of a circle
OP = OP |Common
∴ △OAP ≅△OBP [SSS Rule]
∴ ∠ AOP = ∠ BOP [c.p.c.t.]
⇒ ∠ AOM = ∠ BOM ...(1)

In △AOM and △BOM

OA = OB [Radii of a circle]
∠ AOM = ∠ BOM [From (1)]
OM = OM [Common]
∴ △AOM ≅△BOM [SAS Rule]

∴ AM = BM ...(2) |c.p.c.t

and ∠ AMO = ∠ BMO ...(3) [c.p.c.t]

But ∠ AMO + ∠ BMO = 180° [Linear Pair Axiom]
∴ ∠ AMO = ∠ BMO = 90° ...(4)
∴ OM, i.e. OP is the perpendicular bisector of AB [From (2) and (4)]

31. Given: Let AB and CD are two equal chords of a circle of centers
O intersecting each other at point E within the circle.
To prove: (a) AE = CE (b) BE = DE
Construction: Draw OM ⊥ AB, ON ⊥ CD. Also join OE.

Proof: In right triangles OME and ONE,

∠ OME = ∠ ONE = 90°

OM = ON
[Equal chords are equidistance from the centre]
OE = OE [Common]
∴ △OME ≅ △ONE [RHS rule of congruency]

∴ ME = NE [By CPCT] ...(i)

Now, O is the centre of circle and OM ⊥ AB

∴ AM = AB [Perpendicular from the centre bisects the chord] ...(ii)
1

Similarly, NC = 1

2
CD ...(iii)
But AB = CD [Given]
From eq. (ii) and (iii), AM = NC ...(iv)
Also MB = DN ...(v)
Adding (i) and (iv), we get,
AM + ME = NC + NE
⇒ AE = CE [Proved part (a)]

Now AB = CD [Given] ...(v)

AE = CE [Proved] ...(vi)
Subtracting eq. (vi) from eq. (v), we have

9 / 10
 ⇒ AB - AE = CD - CE
⇒ BE = DE [Proved part (b)]
32. ABCD is a parallelogram. A circle through A, B is so drawn that it intersects AD at P and BC at Q. We have to prove that P, Q,
C and D are concyclic. Join PQ.

Now, side AP of the cyclic quadrilateral APQB is produced to D.

∴ Ext. ∠ 1 = int. opp. ∠ B

∵ BA||CD and BC cuts them

∴ ∠B + ∠C = 180 [∵ Sum of int. ∠ S on the same side of the transversal is 180 ]

∘ ∘

or ∠ 1 + ∠ C = 180 [∵ ∠ 1 = ∠ B (proved)]
∘

∴ PDCQ is cyclic quadrilateral.

Hence, the points P, Q, C and D are concyclic.
