PRACTICE QUESTIONS (CIRCLES)

CLASS: X : MATHEMATICS
1. If TP and TQ are the two tangents to a circle with centre O so that ∠ POQ = 110°, then
find ∠ PTQ.
2. If tangents PA and PB from a point P to a circle with centre O are inclined to each other
at angle of 80°, then find ∠ POA.
3. From a point Q, the length of the tangent to a circle is 24 cm and the distance of Q
from the centre is 25 cm. Find the radius of the circle.
4. A tangent PQ at a point P of a circle of radius 5 cm meets a line through the centre O at
a point Q so that OQ =13 cm. Find the length of PQ.
5. Prove that in two concentric circles, the chord of the larger circle, which touches the
smaller circle, is bisected at the point of contact.
6. If two tangents inclined at an angle of 60ᵒ are drawn to a circle of radius 3cm, then find
the length of each tangent.
7. Prove that the tangents drawn at the ends of a diameter of a circle are parallel.
8. A quadrilateral ABCD is drawn to circumscribe a circle. Prove that AB + CD = AD + BC.
9. In given below left figure, AB is the diameter of a circle with centre O and AT is a
tangent. If ∠AOQ = 58 , find ∠ATQ.

10. In the above right sided figure, AB is a chord of the circle and AOC is its diameter such
that ∠ACB = 50°. If AT is the tangent to the circle at the point A, then find ∠BAT.

11. Prove that the lengths of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are
equal.
12. Prove that the tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of
contact.
13. Two tangents TP and TQ are drawn to a circle with centre O from an external point T.
Prove that ∠ PTQ = 2 ∠ OPQ.
14. PQ is a chord of length 8 cm of a circle of radius 5 cm. The tangents at P and Q intersect
at a point T. Find the length TP.
15. Two concentric circles are of radii 5 cm and 3 cm. Find the length of the chord of the
larger circle which touches the smaller circle.
16. If XY and X′Y′ are two parallel tangents to a circle with centre O and another tangent AB
with point of contact C intersecting XY at A and X′Y′ at B. Prove that ∠ AOB = 90°.
17. Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
18. Prove that opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing a circle subtend
supplementary angles at the centre of the circle.
