ANSWERS
1. ANS.D. √46 3. ANS.A. 84o

The perpendicular distance from the centre bisects the ∠BIC = 132 = 90° + ∠𝐴/2
chord into two equal half
132 -90° = ∠𝐴/2
Applying Pythagoras in △COB
42°=∠𝐴/2
OB2 = CB2 + CO2
∠𝐴 = 84°
12.52 = 10.52 + CO2
CO2 = 156.25 -110.25 =46 4. ANS.A. √55 cm
CO =√46

2. ANS.D.21/4

As, both the triangle are similar so their area is in

the ratio of the square of their sides

∆ABC: ∆PQR = (AC/PR)2

Applying Pythagoras in ∆ABC,
144/49 = (9/PR)2
AB2 – AC2 = CB2
12/7=9/PR
CB = √(100 – 40) = 2√15
PR=9/12 *7 =21/4
CQ = ½ CB = √15

Applying Pythagoras in ∆ACQ

AQ2 = AC2 + CQ2

AQ2 = 40+ 15

AQ = √55cm BC =2 PQ= 2 × 32 = 64 cm

5. ANS.A.127o 9. ANS.B.40o

Angle between the bisector of the other two

interior angle is = 90°+ ½ of third angle

⇒90°+ (1/2×74°) = 90°+37° = 127°

6. ANS.B.115.2
We know,
Area of ∆𝐴𝐷𝐸 /Area of ∆ ABC= 5²/ 8²

45 /Area of ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶 =5²/ 8²
Area of ∆𝐴𝐵𝐶= 115.2 ∠AOB = 180° - 80° = 100°

7. ANS.B.26 ∠OAB +∠OBA = 180° - 100° = 80°

(∠ OAB = ∠OBA)

∠OAB = 40°

10. ANS.D.7.5

AO² = 5² + 12²

AO = 13

Diameter = 2 × 13 = 26

8. ANS.C.64

PR : RQ = 3 : 5
In OBC = BC2 = 102 – 82 = 62
PQ = 3 + 5 = 8 unit
∆𝐶𝑂𝐵 and ∆𝐵𝑂𝑃are similar as one angle is
5 unit = 20 common and another one angle is of 90°

So 1 unit=4; So,
