    (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

    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

    Since

    SR || PQ,

    So, ∠OSR= ∠OQP (alternate interior angles)

    Also ∠SOR= ∠POQ (vertically opposite angles)

    So triangles SOR and POQ are similar,

    Therefore,

    ar(POQ)/ar(SOR) = (PQ/SR)2
    ar(POQ)/ar(SOR) = (3 SR/SR)2
    ar(POQ)/ar(SOR) = 9/1

    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 –


    2, AE = x + 2 and EC = x – 1, the value of x is:
    (A)
    4                                                                                       
                  

    (B) 8

    (C)
    16                                                                                     
                  

    (D) 32

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

    ∴ AD/DB = AE/EC (By Thale’s Theorem)

    ⇒ x/x – 2 = (x + 2)/(x – 1)

    ⇒ x (x – 1) = (x – 2)(x + 2)

    ⇒ x2 – x = x2 – 4
    ⇒x=4
