Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Question 1.
If the length of a chord of a circle is 16 cm and is at a distance of 15 cm from the centre of the circle, then the radius of the circle is
(a) 15 cm
(b) 16 cm
(c) 17 cm
(d) 34 cm
Solution:
Length of chord AB of circle = 16 cm
Distance from the centre OL = 15 cm
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q1.1
Let OA be the radius, then in right ∆OAL,
OA2 = OL2 + AL2
16
= (15)2 + \(\frac { 16 }{ 2 }\) = 152 + 82
= 225 + 64 = 289 = (17)2
∴ OA = 17 cm
Hence radius of the circle = 17 cm (c)

(a) 60°
(b) 45°
(c) 30°
(d) 15°
Solution:
r is the radius of the circle with centre O
AB is the chord, at a distance of \(\frac { r }{ 2 }\) from the centre
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q3.1

Question 4.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral such that ∠ADB = 30° and ∠DCA = 80°, then ∠DAB=
(a) 70°
(b) 100°
(c) 125°
(d) 150°
Solution:
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral ∠DCA = 80° and ∠ADB = 30°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q4.1
∵∠ADB = ∠ACB (Angles in the same segment)
∴ ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BCD = 80° + 30° = 110°
∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BAD + 110°= 180°
⇒ ∠BAD = 180°- 110° = 70°
or ∠DAB = 70° (a)

Question 5.
A chord of length 14 cm is at a distance of 6 cm from the centre of a circle. The length of another chord at a distance of 2 cm from the centre of the circle is
(a) 12 cm
(b) 14 cm
(c) 16 cm
(d) 18 cm
Solution:
In a circle AB chord = 14 cm
and distance from centre OL = 6 cm
Let r be the radius of the circle, then OA2 = AL2 + OL2
⇒ r2 = (7)2 + (6)2 = 49 + 36 = 85
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q5.1
In the same circle length of another chord CD = ?
Distance from centre = 2 cm
∴ r2 = OM2 + MD2
⇒ 85 = (2)2 + DM2
⇒ 85 = 4 + DM2
⇒ DM2 = 85-4 = 81 = (9)2
∴ DM = 9
∴ CD = 2 x DM = 2 x 9 = 18 cm
∴Length of another chord = 18 cm (d)

Question 6.
One chord of a circle is known to be 10 cm. The radius of this circle must be
(a) 5 cm
(b) greater than 5 cm
(c) greater than or equal to 5 cm
(d) less than 5 cm
Solution:
Length of chord of a circle = 10 cm
Length of radius of the circle greater than half of the chord
More than \(\frac { 10 }{ 2 }\) = 5 cm (b)

Question 7.
ABC is a triangle with B as right angle, AC = 5 cm and AB = 4 cm. A circle is drawn with O as centre and OC as radius. The length of the chord of this circle passing through C and B is
(a) 3 cm
(b) 4 cm
(c) 5 cm
(d) 6 cm
Solution:
In right ∆ABC, ∠B = 90°
AC = 5 cm, AB = 4 cm
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q7.1
∴ BC2 = AC-AB2
= 52 – 42 = 25 – 16
= 9 = (3)2
∴ BC = 3 cm
∴ Length of chord BC = 3 cm (a)

Question 8.

(a) in the interior of S
(b) in the exterior of S
(c) on the segment AB
(d) on AB and bisects AB
Solution:
\(\breve { AB }\) = 183°
∴ AB is the diameter of the circle with centre O and C is the mid point of arc AB
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q9.1
Line segment AB = S
∴ Centre will lie on AB (c)

Question 10.
In a circle, the major arc is 3 ti.nes the minor arc. The corresponding central angles and the degree measures of two arcs are
(a) 90° and 270°
(b) 90° and 90°
(c) 270° adn 90°
(d) 60° and 210°
Solution:
In a circle, major arc is 3 times the minor arc i.e. arc ACB = 3 arc ADB
∴ Reflex ∠AOB = 3∠AOB
But angle at O = 360°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q10.1
and let ∠AOB = x
Then reflex ∠ADB = x
x + 3x – 360°
⇒ 4x = 360°
⇒ x = \(\frac { { 62 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 90°
∴ 3x = 90° x 3 = 270°
Here angles are 270° and 90° (c)

Question 11.
If A and B are two points on a circle such that m(\(\breve { AB }\)) = 260°. A possible value for the angle subtended by arc BA at a point on the circle is
(a) 100°
(b) 75°
(c) 50°
(d) 25°
Solution:
A and B are two points on the circle such that reflex ∠AOB = 260°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q11.1
∴ ∠AOB = 360° – 260° = 100°
C is a point on the circle
∴ By joining AC and BC,
∠ACB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠AOB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 100° = 50° (c)

Question 12.
An equilateral triangle ABC is inscribed in a circle with centre O. The measures of ∠BOC is

(a) rhombus
(b) rectangle
(c) parallelogram
(d) square
Solution:
Two diameter of a circle AB and CD intersect each other at right angles
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q13.1
AD, DB, BC and CA are joined forming a quad. ABCD.
∵ The diagonals are equal and bisect each other at right angles
∴ ACBD is a square (d)

Question 14.
In ABC is an arc of a circle and ∠ABC = 135°, then the ratio of arc \(\breve { AB }\) to the circumference is
(a) 1 : 4
(b) 3 : 4
(c) 3 : 8
(d) 1 : 2
Solution:
Arc ABC of a circle and ∠ABC = 135°
Join OA and OC
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q14.1
∴ Angle subtended by arc ABC at the centre = 2 x ∠ABC = 2 x 135° = 270°
Angle at the centre of the circle = 360°
∴ Ratio with circumference = 270° : 360° = 3:4 (b)

Question 15.
The chord of a circle is equal to its radius. The angle subtended by this chord at the minor arc of the circle is
(a) 60°
(b) 75°
(c) 120°
(d) 150°
Solution:
The chord of a circle = radius of the circle In the figure OA = OB = AB
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q15.1
∴ ∠AOB = 60°
(Each angle of an equilateral = 60°) (a)

Question 16.
PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral such that PR is a diameter of the circle. If ∠QPR = 67° and ∠SPR = 72°, then ∠QRS =
(a) 41°
(b) 23°
(c) 67°
(d) 18°
Solution:
PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral with centre O and ∠QPR = 67°
∠SPR = 72°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q16.1
∴ ∠QPS = 67° + 72° = 139°
∵ ∠QPS + ∠QRS = 180° (Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
⇒ 139° + ∠QRS = 180°
⇒ ∠QRS = 180° – 139° = 41° (a)

Question 17.
If A, B, C are three points on a circle with centre O such that ∠AOB = 90° and ∠BOC = 120°, then ∠ABC =
(a) 60°
(b) 75°
(c) 90°
(d) 135°
Solution:
A, B and C are three points on a circle with centre O
∠AOB = 90° and ∠BOC = 120°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q17.1
∴ ∠AOC = 360° – (120° + 90°)
= 360° -210°= 150°
But ∠AOC is at the centre made by arc AC and ∠ABC at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ABC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠AOC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 150° = 75° (b)

(a) 45°
(b) 60°
(c) 75°
(d) 90°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q21.1
Solution:
In the circle, AB and CD are two chords which intersect each other at P at right angle i.e. ∠CPB = 90°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q21.2
∠CAB and ∠CDB are in the same segment
∴ ∠CDB = ∠CAB = x
Now in ∆PDB,
Ext. ∠CPB = ∠D + ∠DBP
⇒ 90° = x + y (∵ CD ⊥ AB)
Hence x + y = 90° (d)

Question 22.
In the figure, if ∠ABC = 45°, then ∠AOC=
(a) 45°
(b) 60°
(c) 75°
(d) 90°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q22.1
Solution:
∵ arc AC subtends
∠AOC at the centre of the circle and ∠ABC
at the remaining part of the circle
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q22.2
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ABC
= 2 x 45° = 90°
Hence ∠AOC = 90° (d)

Question 23.
In the figure, chords AD and BC intersect each other at right angles at a point P. If ∠D AB = 35°, then ∠ADC =
(a) 35°
(b) 45°
(c) 55°
(d) 65°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q23.1
Solution:
Two chords AD and BC intersect each other at right angles at P, ∠DAB = 35°
AB and CD are joined
In ∆ABP,
Ext. ∠APC = ∠B + ∠A
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q23.2
⇒ 90° = ∠B + 35°
∠B = 90° – 35° = 55°
∵ ∠ABC and ∠ADC are in the same segment
∴ ∠ADC = ∠ABC = 55° (c)

In the figure, O is the centre of the circle and ∠BDC = 42°. The measure of ∠ACB is
(a) 42°
(b) 48°
(c) 58°
(d) 52°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q24.1
Solution:
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle
∠BDC = 42°
∠ABC = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
and ∠BAC and ∠BDC are in the same segment of the circle.
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 42°
Now in ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q24.2
⇒ 42° + 90° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 132° + ∠ACB – 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 132° = 48° (b)

(b) ∠APB + ∠AQB = 180° or ∠APB = ∠AQB
(c) ∠APB + ∠AQB = 90°
(d) ∠APB + ∠AQB = 180°
Solution:
AB is chord of a circle,
P and Q are two points other than from points A and B
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 15 Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles MCQS Q27.1
∵ ∠APB and ∠AQB are in the same segment of the circle
∴ ∠APB = ∠AQB (a)

Question 29.
In a circle of radius 17 cm, two parallel chords are drawn on opposite side of a diameter. This distance between the chords is 23 cm. If the length of one chord is 16 cm then the length of the other is
(a) 34 cm
(b) 15 cm
(c) 23 cm
(d) 30 cm
Solution:
Radius of a circle = 17 cm
The distance between two parallel chords = 23 cm
AB || CD and LM = 23 cm
Join OA and OC,
∴ OA = OC = 17 cm
Let OL = x, then OM = (23 – x) cm
AB = 16 cm
Now in right ∆OAL,
OA2 = OL22 + AL2
⇒ (17)2 = x2 + AL2
⇒ 289 = x2 + AL2
