9. Assertion (A): The length of the tangent drawn from a point 8 cm away from the centre of circle
of radius 6 cm is 2√7 cm.
Reason (R): If the angle between two radii of a circle is 130°, then the angle between the
tangents at the end points of radii at their point of intersection is 50°.
10. Assertion (A): The length of the minute hand of a clock is 7 cm. Then the area swept by the
minute hand in 5 minute is 77/6 cm2.
Reason (R): The length of an arc of a sector of angle q and radius r is given by l 2 r

SECTION – D
Questions 18 carry 5 marks.
18. (a) Prove that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal. (3)
(b) In figure, CP and CQ are tangents to a circle with centre O. ARB is another tangent touching
the circle at R. If CP = 11 cm, and BC = 7 cm, then find the length of BR. (2)
19. Radio towers are used for transmitting a range of communication services including radio and
television. The tower will either act as an antenna itself or support one or more antennas on its
structure. On a similar concept, a radio station tower was built in two Sections A and B. Tower is
supported by wires from a point O.
Distance between the base of the tower and point O is 36 cm. From point O, the angle of
elevation of the top of the Section B is 30° and the angle of elevation of the top of Section A is
45°.
Based on the above information, answer the following questions:
(i) Find the length of the wire from the point O to the top of section B.
(ii) Find the distance AB.
OR
Find the area of ∆OPB.
(iii) Find the height of the Section A from the base of the tower.
20. In the sport of cricket the Captain sets the field according to a plan. He instructs the players to
take a position at a particular place. There are two reasons to set a cricket field—to take wickets
and to stop runs being scored.
The following graph shows the position of players during a cricket match.
(i) Find the coordinate of the point on y-axis which are equidistant from the points representing
the players at Cover P(2, –5) and Mid-wicket Q(–2, 9)
(ii) Find the ratio in which x-axis divides the line segment joining the points Extra Cover S(3, –
3) and Fine Leg (–2, 7).
