(D) 1

Answer: (B)
Explanation: According to question
2. The mid-point of the line segment joining the points A (–2,
8) and B (– 6, – 4) is
(A) (– 4, – 6)                                       

(B) (2, 6)

(C) (– 4, 2)                                          

(D) (4, 2)

Answer:  (C)
Explanation: Let the coordinates of midpoint be (x, y) then

Therefore the coordinates are

3. The points A (9, 0), B (9, 6), C (–9, 6) and D (–9, 0) are
the vertices of a
(A) Square                                          

(B) Rectangle

(C) Rhombus                                      

(D) Trapezium

Answer:  (B)
Explanation: Here we will calculate the measure of all four
sides of the quadrilateral fromed by given points A, B, C and
D.

Since, AB = CD and BC = AD

Therefore given points A,B,C and D are the vertices of a

rectangle.

4. The distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis is

(A) 2                                                               

(B) 3
(C) 1                                                               

(D) 5

Answer:  (B)
Explanation: Distance of the point P (2, 3) from the x-axis
=Ordinate of the point (2, 3) i.e.3.
5. The distance between the points A (0, 6) and B (0, –2) is
(A) 6                                                   

(B) 8

(C) 4                                                   

(D) 2

Answer:  (B)
Explanation: Here, x1 = 0, y1 = 6, x2 = 0, y2 = –2

6. AOBC is a rectangle whose three vertices are vertices A

(0, 3), O (0, 0) and B (5, 0). The length of its diagonal is
(A) 5                                                   

(B) 3

(C) √34                                               

(D) 4
Answer:  (C)
Explanation:
The length of the diagonal is distance between the points AB.

 The distance is calculated as,

7. If P (a/3, 4) is the mid-point of the line segment joining

the points Q (– 6, 5) and R (– 2, 3), then the value of a is
(A) – 4                                                

(B) – 12

(C) 12                                                 

(D) – 6

Answer:  (B)
Explanation: As (a/3, 4) is the mid – point of the line
segment joining the points Q (– 6, 5) and R (– 2,
3). Therefore
8. The coordinates of the point which is equidistant from the
three vertices of the Δ AOB as shown in the figure is:

(A) (x, y)                                                         

(B) (y, x)

(C) (x/2, y/2)                                                  

(D) (y/2, x/2)  

Answer:  (A)
Explanation: As we have to find the coordinates which are
equidistant from A and B, Let the points be (a, b).
Then (a, b) will be the midpoint of AB.

Therefore,
Hence the coordinates are (x, y)

9. A circle drawn with origin as the centre passes through

The point which does not lie in the interior of the circle is
