ASSERTION REASONING QUESTION :

Ch. 10 Circle and Ch. 12 Areas related to circle

Each of the following questions contains STATEMENT-1 (Assertion) and STATEMENT-2
(Reason) and has following four choices (a), (b), (c) and (d), only one of which is correct
answer. Mark the correct choice.

(a) Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for
Statement-1.
(b) Statement-1 and Statement-2 are True; Statement-2 is not a correct explanation for
Statement-1.
(c) Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False
(d) Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Q1. Statement-1 (Assertion) : A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the
point of contact.

Statement-2 (Reason) : The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle
are equal.
(Ans: b)

Q2. Statement-1 (Assertion) : If PA and PB are tangents drawn from an external point P to a
circle with centre O, then the quadrilateral AOBP is cyclic.

Statement-2 (Reason) : The angle between two tangents drawn from an external point
to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segments joining the
points of contact at the centre.
(Ans: a)

Q3. Statement-1 (Assertion) : In the fig given below if AT is a tangent to the circle with
centre O, at a point A such that OT= 4 cm and <OTA=30 0, then AT 4√3 cm.
 Statement-2 (Reason) : A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the
point of contact.

Q4. Statement-1 (Assertion) : The length of tangent PT drawn from an external point P to a
circle is 24 cm. If the distance between the point P and the centre O of the circle is 25
cm, then the length of diameter of the circle is 14 cm.

Statement-2 (Reason) : A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through

the point of contact.

(Ans: a)

Q5. Statement-1 (Assertion) : The radius of the circle whose area is equal to the sum of areas
of two cicles of radii 10 cm and 24 cm is 26 cm.

Statement-2 (Reason) : The radius of the circle whose area is equal to the sum of
the areas of two circles of radii r1 and r2 is given by r = r1 + r2

And: c

Q6. Statement-1 (Assertion) : The radius of the circle whose perimeter is equal to the sum of
perimeter of two cicles of radii 10 cm and 24 cm is 26 cm.

Statement-2 (Reason) : The radius of the circle whose perimeter is equal to the sum
of the perimeter of two circles of radii r 1 and r2 is given by 𝑟12 + 𝑟22 = 𝑟

Ans : d
