1.

O is the point of intersection of two equal chords ABand CD such that OB = OD, then triangles OAC and ODB
are

(A) Equilateral but not similar

(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

12. The length of altitude of an equilateral triangle of side 8cm is

(A) √3 cm

(B) 2√3 cm

(C) 3√3 cm

(D) 4√3 cm

Answer:(D)
Explanation:
The altitude divides the opposite side into two equal parts,

Therefore, BD = DC = 4 cm

In triangle ABD

AB2 = AD2 + BD2

82 = AD2 + 42
AD2 = 64 – 16
AD2 = 48
AD = 4√3 cm

13. If ΔABC ~ ΔDEF, AB = 4 cm, DE = 6 cm, EF = 9 cm and FD = 12 cm, find the perimeter of ABC.
(A) 18 cm

(B) 20 cm

(C) 21 cm

(D) 22 cm

Answer:(A)
Explanation:
According to question,

ΔABC ~ ΔDEF,

AB = 4 cm, DE = 6 cm, EF = 9 cm and FD = 12 cm,

Therefore,

AB/DE = BC/EF = AC/DF

4/6 = BC/9 = AC/12

⇒ 4/6 = BC/9

⇒ BC = 6 cm

And
4/6 = AC/12

⇒ AC = 8 cm

Perimeter = AB + BC + CA

=4+6+8

= 18 cm

14. A 5 m long ladder is placed leaning towards a vertical wall such that it reaches the wall at a point 4 m
high. If the foot of the ladder is moved 1.6 m towards the wall, then the distance by which the top of the
ladder would slide upwards on the wall is:
(A) 2 m

(B) 1.2 m

(C) 0.8 m

(D) 0.5 m

Answer:(C)
Explanation:
Let AC be the ladder of length 5m and BC = 4m be the height of the wall where ladder is placed. If the foot of
the ladder is moved 1.6m towards the wall i.e. AD = 1.6 m, then the ladder is slided upward to position E i.e.
CE = x m.

In right triangle ABC

AC2 = AB2 + BC2

⇒52 = AB2 + 42
⇒ AB = 3m

⇒ DB = AB – AD = 3 – 1.6 = 1.4m

In right angled ΔEBD

ED2 = EB2 + BD2

⇒ 52 = EB2 + (1.4)2
⇒ EB = 4.8m

EC = EB – BC = 4.8 – 4 = 0.8m

Hence the top of the ladder would slide upwards on the wall at distance 0.8 m.

15. Corresponding sides of two similar triangles are in the ratio of 2 : 3. If the area of the smaller triangle is
48 cm2, then the area of the larger triangle is:
(A) 108 m2
(B) 107 m2
(C) 106 m2
(D) 230 m2
Answer:(A)
Explanation:
According to given Question

ar(Larger Triangle)/ar(Smaller Triangle) = (side of larger triangle/side of larger triangle)2

ar(Larger Triangle)/48 = (3/2)2
ar(Larger Triangle) = (9 x 48 )/4

ar(Larger Triangle) = 108 cm2
