ASSERTION AND REASONING QUESTIONS)
(All questions are compulsory. No internal choice is provided in
this section)
Q1. 1

a) 0 b) 1 c)2 d) infinitely many
Q2.
1

on a circle with centre O. Find <OPR + <ORP
(a) 200 (b) 80 (c) 10 (d) 20
Direction :- In question numbers 4,5 and 6, a statement of
assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason(R). Choose
the correct option out of the following :
a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R)
is the correct explanation of assertion (A)
b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is
not the correct explanation of assertion (A)
c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false
d) Assertion (A) is false but reason (R) is true
Q3. Assertion (A) : If PA and PB are tangents drawn from an 1
external point P to a circle with centre O, then the quadrilateral
AOBP is cyclic
Reason (R) : The angle between the two tangents drawn from
an external point at a circle are supplementary to the angle
subtended by the line segments joining the points of contact at
the centre.

from an external point T . prove that ∠PTQ = 2 ∠OPQ
SECTION – C
(All questions are compulsory. In case of internal choice,
attempt any one question only)

XAY is drawn to the circle. Find the length of the chord CD
parallel to XY and at a distance 8 cm from A.
a) If all the sides of a parallelogram touch the circle, show that
the parallelogram is a rhombus. [OR]

extended sides AB and AC at Q and R, respectively, prove
that AR =½ x perimeter of triangle
SECTION – D
(All questions are compulsory. In case of internal choice,
attempt any one question only)

segments into which one side divided by the point of
contact are 6 cm and 9 cm. Find the other two sides of the
triangle.
[ OR]
b) In the figure O is the centre of a circle of radius 5 cm, T is a
point such that OT =13 cm and OT intersects the circle at 4
E. If AB is the tangent to the circle at E, find the length of
AB
SECTION E
(Case based question)
A Ferris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting of a
rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger-carrying components (commonly referred
to as passenger cars, cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in
such a way that as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity. After taking
a ride in Ferris wheel, Aarti came out from the crowd and was observing her friends who
were enjoying the ride . She was curious about the different angles and measures that the
wheel will form. She forms the figure as given below
1. In the given figure find ∠ROQ
2. Find ∠RQP
3. Find ∠ORP or Find ∠RSQ
