Answers & Explanations

1. Answer: (a) Circle

2. Answer: (a) Tangent

3. Answer: (d) Infinite

Explanation: A circle has infinitely many tangents, touching the circle at infinite points on its circumference.

4. Answer: (a) One point

Explanation: A tangent touches the circle only on its boundary and do not cross through it.

5. Answer: (b) Two

Explanation: A circle can have two parallel tangents at the most.

6. Answer: (c) 70°

Explanation: If the angle between two radii of a circle is 110°, then the angle between tangents is 180° − 110° = 70°. (By circles and tangents properties)

7. Answer: (c) always less than OA

Explanation: Since the tangent is perpendicular to the radius of the circle, then the angle between them is 90º. Thus, OA is the hypotenuse for the right triangle OAB, which is right-angled at B. As we know, for any right triangle, the hypotenuse is the longest side. Therefore the length of the tangent from an external point is always less than the OA.

8. Answer: (a) equal

9. Answer: (d) 90°

10. Answer: (c) normal

11. Answer: (b) parallel

12. Answer: (b) AB + CD = BC + AD

13. Answer: (c)50°

Explanation: According to the question:

∠ABC = 90 (Angle in Semicircle)

In ∆ACB

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

∠A = 180° – (90° + 50°)

∠A = 40°

Or ∠OAB = 40°

Therefore, ∠BAT = 90° – 40° = 50°

14. Answer: (c) Rhombus

15. Answer: (a) 3cm

Explanation:  According to the given question:

AB is the tangent, drawn on the circle from point A.

So, OB ⊥ AB

Given, OA = 5cm and AB = 4 cm

Now, In △ABO,

OA\(^2\) = AB\(^2\) + BO\(^2\) (Using Pythagoras theorem)

⇒ 5\(^2\) = 4\(^2\) + BO\(^2\)

⇒ BO\(^2\) = 25 – 16

⇒ BO\(^2\) = 9

⇒ BO = 3

16. Answer: (d) 8 cm

Explanation:

Here radius, r = 4 cm

Required distance,
AB = OA + OB
= r + r = 2r = 2×4 = 8 cm

17. Answer: (d) 155°

Explanation: Since OR ⊥ PR and OS ⊥ PS
∴ ∠ORP = ∠OSP = 90°
In □ ORPS, ∠ROS + ∠ORP + ∠RPS + ∠OSP = 360°
∠ROS + 90° + 25° + 90° = 360°
∠ROS = 360° – 205° = 155°

18. Answer: (a) one

Explanation: There is only one tangent at a point of the circle.

19. Answer: (c) 6 cm

Explanation:


In rt. AOAP, we have
OA\(^2\) + AP\(^2\) = OP\(^2\)
⇒ OA\(^2\) + (8)\(^2\) = (10)\(^2\)
⇒ OA\(^2\) + 64 = 100
⇒ OA\(^2\) = 100 – 64 = 36
∴ OA = √36 = 6 cm

20. Answer: (c) 10 cm

Explanation: Let radius of circle = R
∴ \(\pi R^2\) = \(25\pi\)
⇒ R = 5 cm
∴ Distance between two parallel tangents = diameter = 2 × 5 = 10 cm.
