i) What is the length of AB?
(a) 12 cm (b) 11 cm (c) 16 cm (d) 8 cm
ii) What is the length of CD?
(a) 10 cm (b) 12 cm (c) 16 cm (d) 21 cm
iii) A circle divides the plane, on which it lies, in _________________ parts
(a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 4
iv) A quadrilateral is called cyclic if all the four vertices of it lies on a
(a) Circle (b) Pentagon (c) Quadrilateral (d) Triangle
v) Which statement is not true?
(a) Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre
(b) The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
(c) Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
(d) The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 900.

Case Study – 2
A small cottage industry employing people from a nearby slum areas prepares industry round
table cloths having six equal designs in the six segment formed by equal chords AB, BC, CD, DE,
EF and FA. If O is the centre of the round table cloth (see figure).
Now answer the following questions:
(i) Find the measure of ∠𝐴𝑂𝐵.
(a) 900 (b) 700 (c) 800 (d) 600
(ii) What is the measure of ∠𝐴𝐸𝐵 ?
(a) 450 (b) 350 (c) 400 (d) 300
(iii) If the length of the one chord is 12 cm, then what is the area of the hexagonal shape?
(a) 512 3 𝑐𝑚2 (b) 216 3 𝑐𝑚2 (c) 68 3 𝑐𝑚2 (d) 750 3 𝑐𝑚2
(iv) What is the area of the circle if the side length of chord is 12 cm ?
(a) 132𝜋 𝑐𝑚2 (b) 121𝜋 𝑐𝑚2 (c) 144𝜋 𝑐𝑚2 (d) 81𝜋 𝑐𝑚2
(v) What is the area of the each segment? (𝑇𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝜋 = 3.14 𝑎𝑛𝑑 3 = 1.73)
(a) 12.05 𝑐𝑚2 (b) 13.08 𝑐𝑚2 (c) 15.03 𝑐𝑚2 (d) 14.28 𝑐𝑚2
