Mark the correct alternative in each of the following:
Question 1.
One angle is equal to three times its supplement. The measure of the angle is
(a) 130°
(b) 135°
(c) 90°
(d) 120°
Solution:
Let required angle = x
Then its supplement = (180° – x)
x = 3(180° – x) = 540° – 3x
⇒ x + 3x = 540°
⇒ 4x = 540°
⇒ x = \(\frac { { 540 }^{ \circ } }{ 4 }\)  = 135°
∴ Required angle = 135° (b)

Question 2.
Two straight lines AB and CD intersect one another at the point O. If ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 274°, then ∠AOD =
(a) 86°
(b) 90°
(c) 94°
(d) 137°
Solution:
Sum of angles at a point O = 360°
Sum of three angles ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 274°
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 10 Congruent Triangles MCQS Q2.1
∴ Fourth angle ∠AOD = 360° – 274°
= 86° (a)

Question 3.
Two straight lines AB and CD cut each other at O. If ∠BOD = 63°, then ∠BOC =
(a) 63°
(b) 117°
(c) 17°
(d) 153°
Solution:
CD is a line
∴ ∠BOD + ∠BOC = 180° (Linear pair)
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 10 Congruent Triangles MCQS Q3.1
⇒ 63° + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180° – 63°
∴ ∠BOC =117° (b)

(a) 30°
(b) 34°
(c) 36°
(d) none of these
Solution:
∵ POQ is a straight line
∴ ∠POR + ∠QOR = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 3x + 2x + 10° = 180°
⇒ 5x = 180 – 10° = 170°
∴ x = \(\frac { { 170 }^{ \circ } }{ 5 }\)  = 34° (b)
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 10 Congruent Triangles MCQS Q5.1

Solution:
Two lines AB and CD intersect at O
RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 10 Congruent Triangles MCQS Q12.1
∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD = 270° …(i)
But ∠AOC + ∠COB + ∠BOD + ∠DOA = 360° …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
∠DOA = 360° – 270° = 90°
But ∠DOA + ∠AOC = 180°

∵ l1 || l2
∠1 = x (Corresponding angles)
∵ l3 || l4
∴ ∠1 + (∠2 + ∠3) = 180° (Co-interior angles)
⇒ x + 2y= 180°
⇒ 2y= 180°-x
⇒ y = \(\frac { { 540 }^{ \circ }-x }{ 4 }\)
= 90° – \(\frac { x }{ 2 }\) (c)

(a) 45°
(b) 30°
(c) 36°
(d) none of these
Solution:
Let first angle = x
Then its complementary angle = 90° – x
∴ 2x = 3(90° – x)
⇒ 2x = 270° – 3x
⇒ 2x + 3x = 270°
⇒ 5x = 270°
⇒ x = \(\frac { { 270 }^{ \circ } }{ 5 }\)  = 54°
∴ second angle = 90° – 54° = 36°
∴ smaller angle = 36° (c)

RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 10 Congruent Triangles MCQS Q27.2
∵ AB || CD
∴ ∠1 = 25° (Alternate angle)
and GH || KL
∴ ∠4 = 60° (Corresponding angles)
∠5 = ∠4 = 60° (Vertically opposite angle)
∠5 + ∠2 = 180° (Co-interior anlges)
∴ ⇒ 60° + ∠2 = 180°
∠2 = 180° – 60° = 120°
Now ∠HKL = ∠1 + ∠2 = 25° + 120°
= 145° (c)

RD Sharma Class 9 Solutions Chapter 10 Congruent Triangles MCQS Q28.1
∴ ∠FEB = 2 x 35° = 70°
∵ AB || CD
∴ ∠FEB + ∠EFD = 180°
(Co-interior angles)
70° + ∠EFD = 180°
∴ ∠EFD = 180°-70°= 110°
But ∠CFQ = ∠EFD
(Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠CFQ =110° (c)

Hence we see that in each case, the mean is changed.

Question 12.
The mean of marks scored by 100 students was found to be 40. Later on its was discovered that a score of 53 was misread as 83. Find the correct mean.
Solution:
Mean score of 100 students = 40
∴Total = 100 x 40 = 4000
Difference in one score by mistake = 83 – 53 = 30
Actual total scores = 4000 – 300 = 3970
Actual mean = \(\frac { 3970 }{ 100 } \) = 39.70 = 39.7

Question 13.
The traffic police recorded the speed (in km/hr) of 10 motorists as 47, 53, 49, 60, 39, 42, 55, 57, 52, 48. Later on an error in recording instrument was found. Find the correct average speed of the motorists if the instrument recorded 5 km/hr less in each case.
Solution:
Speed of 10 motorist as recorded = 47, 53, 49, 60, 39, 42, 55, 57, 52, 48
Total of speed of 10 motorists = 47 + 53 + 49 + 60 + 39 + 42 + 55 +57 + 52 + 48 = 502

Question 14.
The mean of five numbers is 27. If one number is excluded, their mean is 25. Find the excluded number.
Solution:
Mean of 5 numbers = 27
Total = 27 x 5 = 135
By excluded one number, then mean of remaining 4 numbers = 25
Total = 4 x 25 = 100
Excluded number = 135 – 100 = 35

Question 15.
The mean weight per student in a group of 7 students is 55 kg. The individual weights of 6 of them (in kg) are 52, 54, 55, 53, 56 and 54. Find the weight of the seventh student.
Solution:
Mean weight of 7 students = 55 kg
Total weight of 7 students = 55 x 7 kg = 385 kg
Total weights of 6 students among them = 52 + 54 + 55 + 53 + 56 + 54 = 324 kg
Weight of 7th student = 385 – 324 = 61 kg

Question 16.
The mean weight of 8 numbers is 15. If each number is multiplied by 2, what will be the new mean?
Solution:
Weight of 8 numbers =15
By multiplying each number by 2, then the average will be = 15 x 2 = 30
New average = 30

Question 17.
The mean of 5 numbers is 18. If one number is excluded, their mean is 16. Find the excluded number.
Solution:
Mean of 5 numbers = 18
Total = 18 x 5 = 90
By excluding one number, the mean of remaining 5 – 1=4 numbers = 16
Total = 16 x 4 = 64
Excluded number = 90 – 64 = 26

Question 18.
The mean of 200 items was 50. Later on, it was discovered that the two items were misread as 92 and 8 instead of 192 and 88. Find the correct mean.
Solution:
Mean of 200 items = 50
Total = 50 x 200 = 10000
The number were misread as 92 instead of 192 and 8 instead of 88
Difference = 192 – 92 + 88 – 8 = 180
New total = 10000 + 180 = 10180
and new mean = \(\frac { 10180 }{ 200 } \) = 50.9

Question 19.
If M is the mean of x1, x2, xr3, x4, x5 and x6, prove that
(x1 – M) + (x2 – M) + (x3 – M) + (x4 – M) + (x5 – M) + (x6 – M) = 0.
Solution:
∵ M is the mean of x,, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6
Then M = \(\frac { x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6 }{ 6 } \)
