1. In the above figure, and chord BC = chord BE. Find .
2. A chord of a circle is equal to its radius. Find the angle subtended by this chord at a point in
major segment.
3. A quadrilateral ABCD is inscribed in a circle such that AB is a diameter and .
Find .
4. Find the length of a chord which is at a distance of 3 cm from the centre of a circle of radius 5 cm.
5. Find the value of x in the following figures.
6. Assertion : In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, if two sides are parallel, then diagonals intersect at
the centre of circle.
Reason : If two sides are parallel in a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, then remaining two sides are
equal.
7. Assertion : If AB is a chord of a circle with radius m units and C is a point on the circle such that
angle ACB = 90 degree, then the length of AB is equal to its diameter.
Reason : The arc ACB is a semicircle.
8. Assertion : Chords of a circle which are equidistant from the centre of the circle are equal.
Reason : The line joining the centre of a circle to the midpoint of a chord is equal to the tangent.
9. Assertion : Line segment joining the centre to any point on the circle is a radius of the circle.
Reason : A chord of a circle which is twice as long as its radius is a diameter of the circle.
10. Assertion : If a perpendicular is drawn from the point M to a line l, but M lies on l, then the
distance of M to line l is zero.
Reason : The length of the perpendicular from a point to a line is the distance of the line from
the point.
11. Assertion : The sum of either pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is 180 degree.
Reason : A cyclic quadrilateral is always isosceles.
12. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals AC and BD intersects at P.If AB = DC prove that
13. In the Figure given above PQ and RS are two parallel chords of a circle and lines RP and SQ
intersects each other at O prove that
Q.13 Q. 14 Q.15
14. In the above figure, AB is a diameter of a circle with centre O and DO || CB. If ∠ BCD = 120°, show that
is an equilateral triangle.
15. In the Figure given above if ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which . Prove that
16. A farmer has a circular garden as shown in the picture above. He has a different type of tree,
plants and flower plants in his garden. In the garden, there are two mango trees A and B at a
distance of AB=10m. Similarly has two Ashok trees at the same distance of 10m as shown at C
and D. AB subtends ∠AOB=1200 at the center O, The perpendicular distance of AC from center is
5m the radius of the circle is 13m.
1. What is the value of ∠COD ?
2. What is the distance between mango tree A and Ashok tree C ?
3. What is the value of angle ∠AOB?
OR
What is the value of angle ∠OCD and ∠ODC?
17. Ankit visited in a mall with his father. He sees that three shops are situated at P, Q, R as shown
in the figure from where they have to purchase things according to their need. Distance
between shop P and Q is 8 m, that of between shop Q and R is 10 m and between shop P and R is
6 m.
Considering O as the centre of the circle, answer the following questions.
1. Find the radius of the circle.
2. Find measure of ∠QPR.
3. Find Area of ∆PQR Or Find Length of the longest chord of the circle. Also name major
sector and major segment.
18. It is known that if x + y = 10 then prove that x + y + z = 10 + z.
19. Solve the equation x - 15 = 25 and state Euclid's axiom used here.
20. In above figure, P and Q are the centres of two intersecting circles. Prove that PQ = QR = PR.
