SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.

1. In the given figure, ∠x = 20°, ∠y = 160°, ∠w = 105°, ∠z = 75°.

2. Euclid stated that all right angles are equal to each other in the form of

3. In the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle in which ∠APB = 100°. The value of x is

(a) 40° (b) 50° (c) 60° (d) 70°

Ans: (b) 50°
In ΔPBC, ∠BPA + ∠BPC = 180° (linear pair of angles)
⇒ ∠BPC = 180° – 100° = 80°
⇒ ∠PCB = ∠PBC = x
⇒ x + x + 80° = 180° ⇒ 2x = 100° ⇒ x = 50°

4. In the given figure, measure of ∠BOC is

Page - 1 -
 (a) 110° (b) 40° (c) 70° (d) 60°
Ans: (a) 110°

In triangle ABC, applying angle sum property of triangles :

40° + 2x + 2y = 180°
⇒ 2(x + y) = 140°
⇒ x + y = 70°... (1)
Now, in triangle ABO, applying angle sum property of triangles :
x + y +z = 180°
⇒ 70 + z = 180° [from equation ... (1) ]
⇒ z = 110°

5. In the given figure, AD is the median, then ∠BAD is

(a) 35° (b) 70° (c) 110° (d) 55°

Ans: (d) 55°

6. Given two right-angled triangles ABC and PRQ, such that ∠A = 30°, ∠Q = 30° and AC = QP.
Write the correspondence if triangles are congruent.
(a) ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR (b) ΔABC ≅ ΔPRQ
(c) ΔABC ≅ ΔRQP (d) ΔABC ≅ ΔQRP
Ans: (d) ΔABC ≅ ΔQRP

7. In the given figure, ABCD is a rhombus, AO = 4 cm and DO = 3 cm. Then the perimeter of the
rhombus is

(a) 18 cm (b) 20 cm (c) 21 cm (d) 22 cm

Page - 2 -
 Ans: Since ABCD is a rhombus, so diagonals AC and BD bisect each other at right angles at O. So,
∠AOD = 90°.
Now, AD2 = OA2 + OD2 (By Pythagoras theorem)
⇒ AD2 = (4)2 + (3)2 ⇒ AD2 = 16 + 9 ⇒ AD2 = 25 ⇒ AD = 5 cm
Since all sides of a rhombus are equal, so AB = BC
= CD = DA = 5 cm.
So, perimeter of rhombus = AB + BC + CD + DA = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 cm
∴ Correct option is (b).

8. Which of the following statement is correct?

(a) a trapezium is a parallelogram (b) every rectangle is a parallelogram
(c) every parallelogram is a rectangle (d) every rhombus is a square
Ans: (b) every rectangle is a parallelogram

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.

9. Assertion (A): The angles of a quadrilateral are x°, (x – 10)°, (x + 30)° and (2x)°, the smallest angle
is equal to 58°
Reason (R): Sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
Ans: (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

10. Assertion (A): Two angles measures a – 60° and 123º – 2a. If each one is opposite to equal sides of
an isosceles triangle, then the value of a is 61°.
Reason (R): Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
Ans: (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. Solve the equation, x – 10 = 25 and state which Euclid’s axiom do you use here.
Ans: x – 10 = 25
On adding 10 both sides, we have
x – 10 + 10 = 25 + 10 x = 35
Here, we use Euclid axiom, “If equal be added to the equal, the whole are equal.”

12. Find the value of x and y in the given figure, if l || m and p || q.

Page - 3 -
 Ans: As l || m and line p is transversal
So, x = 100° (Corresponding angles)
Now, z = 80° (Vertically opposite angles)
But y = 180° – z (Corresponding angles)
y = 180° – 80° = 100°.

In BEF and CDF, BE = DC (Proved above)
BEF = CDF (Alternate interior angles)

 Ans: Given: 1 = 75°

Now, m || n and p is transversal

1 + 3 = 180° (Co-interior angles)

or AD = AE

SECTION – D
Questions 18 carry 5 marks.
18. Show that the quadrilateral formed by joining the mid-points of the sides of a square, is also a
square.
Ans:
ABCD is a square. P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively.

Join AC, PR and SQ.

In ABC,
P and Q are mid-points of side AB and BC respectively.
1
PQ || AC and PQ = AC ...(i) (By mid-point theorem)
2
Similarly, in ADC,
S and R are mid-points of sides AD and DC respectively.
1
RS || AC and RS = AC ...(ii) (By mid-point theorem)
2
From (i) and (ii), we get
PQ || RS
PQ = RS
Similarly, we can prove that RQ || PS and PS = RQ
PQRS is a parallelogram .......... (iii)
In PBQ and QCR
BQ = QC (Q is mid-point of BC)
B = C = 90° (Each angle of square is 90°)
BP = CR (Halves of equal sides of square)
PBQ ≅ QCR (SAS congruence rule)
PQ = QR (CPCT) ... (iv)
From (iii) and (iv), we get
PQRS is a rhombus (If adjacent sides of parallelogram are equal, then it is a rhombus) ... (v)
Also, PBCR is a rectangle. (As CR || PB, CR = PB and B = C = 90°)
PR = BC
Similarly, DCQS is a rectangle. (As CQ || DS, CQ = DS and C = D = 90°)
CD = QS
Now, BC and CD are equal (Equal sides of square)
PR = QS

Page - 6 -
 But these are diagonals of rhombus PQRS.
If diagonals of rhombus are equal, then it is a square.
PQRS is a square.

SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)

Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. In a school, group of Class IX students prepared Rangoli in triangular shape. Dimensions of ∆ABC
are AC = 26 cm, BC = 28 cm, AB = 25 cm. Garland is to be placed along the side of ∆DEF which is
formed by joining midpoints of sides of ∆ABC.

(a) Show that ADEF, BDFE and DFCE are all parallelograms. (2)
(b) Find the length of garland. (2)
OR
(b) Show that ∆ABC is divided into four congruent triangles (2)
Ans:
(a) As D and E are mid-points of sides AB and BC of the triangle ABC, by Midpoint Theorem
DE || AC
Similarly, DF || BC and EF || AB
Therefore ADEF, BDFE and DFCE are all parallelograms.
(b) DF || BC and DF =1/2 BC (By Midpoint theorem)
⇒ DF = 14 cm
Similarly, EF = 12.5 cm
DE = 13 cm
∴ Length of garland = Perimeter = 14 + 12.5 + 13 = 39.5 cm
OR
From (a), ADEF, BDFE and DFCE are all parallelograms.
Now DE is a diagonal of the parallelogram BDFE,
therefore, Δ BDE ≅ Δ FED
Similarly Δ DAF ≅ Δ FED
and Δ EFC ≅ Δ FED
So, all the four triangles are congruent.

20. Aditya and his friends went to a forest, they saw a big tree got broken due to heavy rain and wind.
Due to this rain the big branches AB and AC with lengths 5m fell down on the ground. Branch AC
makes an angle of 30° with the main tree AP. The distance of Point B from P is 4 m. You can
observe that ∆ABP is congruent to ∆ACP.

Page - 7 -
(a) Show that ∆ABP is congruent to ∆ACP (1)
(b) Find the value of ∠ACP? (2)
OR
What is the total height of the tree? (2)
(c) Find the value of ∠BAP? (1)
Ans: (a) In ∆ACP and ∆ABP
AB = AC (Given)
AP = AP (common)
∠APB = ∠APC =90°
By RHS criteria ∆ACP ≅ ∆ABP
(b) In ∆ACP, ∠APC + ∠PAC + ∠ACP = 180°
⇒ 90° + 30° + ∠ACP = 180° (angle sum property of triangle)
⇒ ∠ACP =180° - 120° = 60°
∠ACP = 60°
OR
In ∆ACP, by Pythagoras theorem,
AC2 = AP2 + PC2
⇒ 25 = AP2 + 16
⇒ AP2 = 25 – 16 = 9
⇒ AP = 3 m
Total height of the tree = AP + 5 = 3 + 5 = 8m
(c) ∆ACP ≅ ∆ABP
Corresponding part of congruent triangle
∠BAP = ∠CAP
∠BAP = 30° (given ∠CAP = 30°)
