Answer: C
Explanation:- t-square is meant for drawing a straight line and also perpendiculars. and also using
set-squares we can draw
2. The length through perpendicular gives the shortest length from a point to the
line.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- the statement given here is right. if we need the shortest distance from a point to the
line, then drawing perpendicular along the point to a line is the best method. since the perpendicular
is the line which has points equidistant from points either side of given line.
3. A Ogee curve is a
A. semi ellipse
B. continuous double curve with convex and concave
C. freehand curve which connects two parallel lines
D. semi hyperbola
D. protractor
Answer: B
Explanation:- an ogee curve or a reverse curve is a combination of two same curves in which the
second curve has a reverse shape to that of the first curve. any curve or line or mould consists of a
continuous double curve with the upper part convex and lower part concave, like ‘’s’’.
…..
C. 2
D. 1
Answer: C
Explanation:- internal tangents are those which touch both the circle and also intersect each other
on the line joining the centers of circles. and the internal tangents intersect each other at midpoint of
line joining the center of circles only if circles have the same diameter.
9. There are 2 circles say A, B. A has 20 units radius and B has 10 units radius
anddistance from centers of A and B is 40 units. Where will be the intersection
point of external tangents?
A. to the left of two circles
B. to the right of the two circles
C. middle of the two circles
D. they intersect at midpoint of line joining the centers
Answer: B
Explanation:- a has 20 units radius and b has 10 units radius. so, the tangents go along the circles
and meet at after the second circle that is b that is the right side of both circles. and we asked for
external tangents so they meet away from the circles but not in between them.
10. There are 2 circles say A, B. A is smaller than B and they are not intersecting
atany point. Where will be the intersection point of internal tangents for these
circles?
A. to the left of two circles
B. to the right of the two circles
C. middle of the two circles
…..
D. they intersect at midpoint of line joining the centers
Answer: B
Explanation:- a is smaller than b so the intersection point of internal tangents will not be on the
midpoint of the line joining the centers. and we asked for internal tangents so they will not meet
away from the circles.

11. Which of the following is incorrect about Ellipse?
A. eccentricity is less than 1
B. mathematical equation is x2 /a2 + y2/b2 = 1
C. if a plane is parallel to axis of cone cuts the cone then the section gives ellipse
D. the sum of the distances from two focuses and any point on the ellipse is constant
Answer: C
Explanation:- if a plane is parallel to the axis of cone cuts the cone then the cross-section gives
hyperbola. if the plane is parallel to base it gives circle. if the plane is inclined with an angle more
than the external angle of cone it gives parabola. if the plane is inclined and cut every generators
then it forms an ellipse.
13. The line which passes through the focus and perpendicular to the major axis is
A. minor axis
B. latus rectum
C. directrix
D. tangent
Answer: B
Explanation:- the line bisecting the major axis at right angles and terminated by curve is called the
minor axis. the line which passes through the focus and perpendicular to the major axis is latus
rectum. tangent is the line which touches the curve at only one point.
14. Axes are called conjugate axes when they are parallel to the tangents drawn
attheir extremes.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
…..
Explanation:- in ellipse there exist two axes (major and minor) which are perpendicular to each
other, whose extremes have tangents parallel them. there exist two conjugate axes for ellipse and 1
for parabola and hyperbola.
17. If eccentricity of ellipse is 3/7, how many divisions will the line joining
thedirectrix and the focus have in general method?
A. 10
B. 7
C. 3
D. 5
Answer: A
…..
Explanation:- in the general method of drawing an ellipse, if eccentricity of the ellipse is given as 3/7
then the line joining the directrix and the focus will have 10 divisions. the number is derived by
adding the numerator and denominator of the eccentricity.
18. In the general method of drawing an ellipse, after parting the line joining
thedirectrix and the focus, a is made.
A. tangent
B. vertex
C. perpendicular bisector
D. normal
Answer: B
Explanation:- in the general method of drawing after parting the line joining the directrix and the
focus, a vertex is made. an arc with a radius equal to the length between the vertex and the focus is
drawn with the vertex as the centre.
19. An ellipse is defined as a curve traced by a point which has the sum of
distancesbetween any two fixed points always same in the same plane.
A. true
B. false
Answer: A
Explanation:- an ellipse can also be defined as a curve that can be traced by a point moving in the
same plane with the sum of the distances between any two fixed points always same. the two fixed
points are called as a focus.
…..
21. If information about the major and minor axes of ellipse is given then by
howmany methods can we draw the ellipse?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
Answer: D
Explanation:- there are 5 methods by which we can draw an ellipse if we know the major and minor
axes of that ellipse. those five methods are arcs of circles method, concentric circles method, loop
of the thread method, oblong method, trammel method.
22. In arcs of circles method, the foci are constructed by drawing arcs with
centreas one of the ends of the axis and the radius equal to the half of the
axis.
A. minor, major
B. major, major
C. minor, minor
D. major, minor
Answer: A
…..
Explanation:- in arcs of circles method, the foci are constructed by drawing arcs with centre as one
of the ends of the minor axis and the radius equal to the half of the major axis. this method is used
when we know only major and minor axes of the ellipse.
23. If we know the major and minor axes of the ellipse, the first step of drawing
theellipse, we draw the axes each other.
A. parallel to
B. perpendicular bisecting
C. just touching
D. coinciding
Answer: B
Explanation:- if we know the major and minor axes of the ellipse, the first step of the drawing the
ellipse is to draw the major and minor axes perpendicular bisecting each other. the major and the
minor axes are perpendicular bisectors of each other.
