(B) Isosceles but not similar
(C) Equilateral and similar
(D) Isosceles and similar
Answer: (D) Explanation: Since O is the point of intersection of two equal chords AB and CD such that OB = OD,
As chords are equal and OB = OD, so AO will also be equal to
OC
Also ∠AOC = ∠DOB = 450
Now in triangles OAC and ODB
AO/OB = CO/OD
And ∠AOC = ∠DOB = 450
So triangles are isosceles and similar
2. D and E are respectively the midpoints on the sides AB
and AC of a triangle ABC and BC = 6 cm. If DE || BC, then the length of DE (in cm) is (A) 2.5
(B) 3
(C) 5
(D) 6
Answer: B Explanation: By midpoint theorem,
If D and E are respectively the midpoints on the sides AB and
AC of a triangle ABC, DE||BC and BC = 6 cm
So, DE will be half of BC i.e. 3cm

Important MCQs with Answers 3. In triangle PQR, if PQ = 6 cm, PR = 8 cm, QS = 3 cm, and PS is the bisector of angle QPR, what is the length of SR? (A) 2
(B) 4
(C) 6
(D) 8
Answer: (B) Explanation:
Since, PS is the angle bisector of angle QPR
So, by angle bisector theorem,
QS/SR = PQ/PR
⇒ 3/SR = 6/8 ⇒ SR = (3 X 8)/6 cm = 4 cm
4. The lengths of the diagonals of a rhombus are 16 cm and
12cm. Then, thelength of the side of the rhombus is (A) 9 cm
(B) 10 cm
(C) 8 cm
(D) 20 cm
Answer:(B) Explanation: The diagonals of rhombus bisect each other at right angle, so side of rhombus is the hypotenuse for the triangles formed.
Therefore,
By Pythagoras theorem
(16/2)2 + (12/2)2 = Side2
⇒ 82 + 62 = Side2 ⇒ 64 + 36 = Side2 ⇒ Side = 10 cm
5. A flag pole 18 m high casts a shadow 9.6 m long. Find the distance of the top of the pole from the far end of the shadow. (A) 25.6
(B) 20.4
(C) 23.7 (D) 32.5
Answer:(B) Explanation: According to given question
The far end of shadow is represented by point A,
Therefore we need to Find AC
By Pythagoras theorem,
(18)2 + (9.6)2 = (AC)2
⇒ AC2 = 416.16 ⇒ AC = 20.4 m (approx)
6. Diagonals of a trapezium PQRS intersect each other at the
point O, PQ || RS and PQ = 3 RS, Then the ratio of areas of triangles POQ and ROS is: (A) 1:9
(B) 9:1
(C) 3:1
(D) 1:3 Answer:(B) Explanation:According to given Question
7. ABCD is a trapezium in which AB|| DC and P, Q are points
on ADand BC respectively such that PQ || DC. If PD = 18 cm, BQ = 35 cm andQC = 15 cm, find AD. (A) 55cm
(B) 57cm
(C) 60cm
(D) 62cm Answer:(C) Explanation: According to question
ABCD is a trapezium in which AB || DC and P and Q are
points on AD and BC, respectively such that PQ || DC. If PD = 18 cm, BQ = 35 cm and QC = 15 cm,
In triangle ABD
DP/AP = OD/OB
In triangle BDC
BQ/QC = OB/OD
This implies
DP/AP = QC/BQ
18/AP = 15/35
AP = (18 x 35)/15
AP = 42
Therefore, AD = AP + DP = 42 + 18 = 60cm 8. Areas of two similar triangles are 36 cm2 and 100 cm2. If the length of a side of the larger triangle is 20 cm, then the length of the corresponding side of the smaller triangle is: (A) 12cm
(B) 13cm
(C) 14cm
(D) 15cm
Answer:(A) Explanation: Let the side of smaller triangle be x cm.
ar(Larger Triangle)/ar(Smaller Triangle) = (side of larger
triangle/side of smaller triangle)2 100/36 = (20/x)2 x = √144
X = 12 cm
9. In the figure if ∠ACB = ∠CDA, AC = 8 cm and AD = 3 cm,
find BD.
(A) 53/3 cm
(B) 55/3 cm
(C) 64/3 cm
(D) 35/7 cm
Answer:(B) Explanation: In triangle ACB and ADC
∠A=∠A
∠ACB = ∠CDA
Therefore triangle ACB and ADC are similar,
Hence
AC/AD = AB/AC
AC2 = AD X AB 82 = 3 x AB ⇒ AB = 64/3
This implies,
BD = 64/3 – AD
⇒ BD = 55/3
10. If ABCD is parallelogram, P is a point on side BC and DP
when produced meets AB produced at L, then select the correct option (A) DP/BL = DC/PL (B) DP/PL = DC/BL
(C) DP/PL = BL/DC
(D) DP/PL = AB/DC
Answer: (B) Explanation:
In ΔALD, we have
BP || AD
∴ LB/BA = LP/PD
⇒ BL/AB = PL/DP
⇒ BL/DC = PL/DP [∵ AB = DC
⇒ DP/PL = DC/BL
11. In the figure given below DE || BC. If AD = x, DB = x –

(D) 32
Answer: (A) Explanation: In triangle ABC, we have DE || BC
