10 Basic Properties of Circles
Section Test Solutions
Section Test 10A
1. ∵ PN = RN
∴ ON  PR 1M
PR = (4 + 4) cm
= 8 cm
= PQ
∴ OM = ON 1M
= 2 cm 1A

2. ∵ OC  AB
∴ AC = BC

= cm 1M

= 8 cm
In △AOC,
OC2 + AC2= OA2
OC =
= cm 1M
= 15 cm 1A

3. ∵ AD = BD
∴ OC  AB 1M

 i.e. ODA = 90
In △OAD,
OAD + AOD + ODA = 180
OAD + 52 + 90 = 180 1M
OAD = 38
In △OAC,
∵ OA = OC
∴ OAC = OCA 1M
OAC + OCA + AOC = 180
2OAC + 52 = 180
2OAC = 128
OAC = 64
BAC = OAC  OAD
= 64  38
= 26 1A

4. (a) ∵ PQ is the perpendicular bisector of CD.

∴ PQ passes through the centre, i.e. PQ is a diameter. 1M
PQ = CB
= 18 cm 1A
(b) ∵ ABC = DCB
∴ AB // CD 1M
i.e. AB  PQ
∴ AM = MB 1M
= 7 cm 1A

5. (a) ∵ OM = ON
∴ CD = AB 1M

 = 32 cm
∵ ON  CD
∴ DN = CN

= cm 1M

= 16 cm
In △MND,
MD2 = MN2 + DN2
MD =
= cm 1M
= 20 cm 1A
(b) Let x cm be the length of the altitude of △MND with respect to the base MD.
Consider the area of △MND.

 20  x = 1M + 1A

x = 9.6

∴ The claim is disagreed. 1A
