1) PQ and QR are congruent chords in a circle, and O is the centre as shown in (1 mark)
the figure. If POQ = 50°, what is the measure of POR?
(i) 100° (ii) 125° (iii) 130° (iv) 150°
Answer:
100°
Solution:
PQ and QR are two congruent chords of a circle with centre O as shown in the figure.
Now, POQ = QOR (Equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.)
So, QOR = 50° ( POQ = 50°)
Now, POR = POQ + QOR
= 50° + 50°
= 100°
Thus, the measure of POR is 100°.
Give 1 mark for the correct answer.

the chord.)

In the following question(s), two statements are given - one labelled (1×1=1 mark)
Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Choose the correct
option after analysing the statements.
Page 4 of 16
4) Assertion: If O is the centre of the given concentric circles, it can be (1 mark)
concluded that AB and CD are congruent arcs.
Reason: Congruent arcs (or equal arcs) of a circle subtend equal angles at
the centre.
(i) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, and reason (R) is the correct
explanation of assertion (A).
(ii) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true, but reason (R) is not the
correct explanation of assertion (A).
(iii) Assertion (A) is true, but reason (R) is false.
(iv) Assertion (A) is false, but reason (R) is true.
Answer:
Assertion (A) is false, but reason (R) is true.
Solution:
We know that congruent arcs of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.
The given reason is the same as the theorem stated above. So, the reason (R) is true.
In the figure, AB and CD are two arcs of the given concentric circles with the centre O.
Both arcs subtend equal angles at the centre O, which is 120°.
But the arcs AB and CD are not of the same or congruent circles.
Therefore, the arcs are not congruent. So, the assertion (A) is false.

7) In the given figure, PQ is the diameter of the circle and AB is a chord equal to (3 marks)
the radius of the circle.
If AC = BC and PAC = 30°, find the measure of BQP.
Page 8 of 16
Answer:
Let O be the centre of the circle.
In ΔAOB, OA = OB = AB. (Radii of the same circle)
ΔAOB is an equilateral triangle. (All sides are equal)
AOB = 60° (0.5 marks)
ACB = × AOB (The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle
subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle)
ACB = 30° (0.5 marks)
In ΔACB,
CBA = BAC (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal) (0.5
marks)
ACB + CBA + BAC = 180° (Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°)
30° + 2 BAC = 180°
BAC = 75° (0.5 marks)
PAB = PAC + BAC
PAB = 30° + 75°
PAB = 105° (0.5 marks)
In cyclic quadrilateral PABQ,
PAB + BQP= 180° (The sum of both pairs of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral
is 180°)
BQP = 180° − 105°
BQP = 75° (0.5 marks)

8) a) A circle with the centre at O and a radius of 15 cm is shown in the figure. (3 marks)
If the chords AB and CD are equal, then find their length.
Page 10 of 16
Answer:
In the figure shown,
O is the centre,
radius = 15 cm, and
AB = CD.
We have
OG = OH (Congruent chords or equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the
centre.) (0.5 marks)
3 = 15 2
5 = 15
=3
So, OG = OH = 9 cm. (0.5 marks)
Now, in OGB, we have
OB = 15 cm (OB is the radius of the circle.)
OG = 9 cm (From above)
Also, OG2 + GB2 = OB2
cm (1 mark)
Now, we have
AG = GB = 12 cm (The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord
bisects the chord.) (0.5 marks)
This gives, AB = AG + GB = 12 + 12 = 24 cm.
So, AB = CD = 24 cm (Since AB and CD are congruent chords.) (0.5 marks)
Thus, the length of the chords is 24 cm.

b) In the given figure, P is the centre of the circle and chords EG and FH are (2 marks)
perpendicular to each other at point I.
If EPF = 120°, find the measure of IFG.
Answer:
The angle subtended by chord EF at the centre of the circle is double the angle
subtended by it at point G.
EGF = =
∠EGF = 60° (1 mark)
Now, in IGF, IGF + IFG + FIG = 180°
60° + IFG + 90° = 180° ( IGF = EGF)
IFG = 30° (1 mark)

c) Find the perpendicular distance between the line joining the mango tree (2 marks)
and the Ashoka tree and the centre of the circular garden.
OR
Find the distance between the mango tree and the guava tree.
Page 14 of 16
Answer:
Given: The radius of the circular garden is 13 m. Draw a perpendicular from the line
joining the mango tree and the Ashoka tree to the centre of the circular garden.
To find: The perpendicular distance between the line joining the mango tree and the
Ashoka tree and the centre of the circular garden.
MA = 10 m (Given)
OM = OA = 13 m (∵ Radius of the circle)
Let T be the point where the perpendicular meets the line. We know that the
perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. (0.5
marks)
∴ MT = TA = =5m (0.5 marks)
In
(Using the Pythagoras theorem) (0.5 marks)
Since the length of the side is always positive, OT = 12 m. (0.5 marks)
∴ The perpendicular distance of the line joining the mango tree and the Ashoka tree
from the centre of the circular garden is 12 m.
OR
Given: The radius of the circular garden is 13 m.
The perpendicular distance of MG from centre O is 5 m.
To find: Distance (MG) between the mango tree (M) and the guava tree (G))
Page 15 of 16
Let P be the point where the perpendicular meets the line joining the mango tree and
the guava tree.
OM = OG = 13 m (∵ Radius of the circle is 13 m.)
OP = 5 m
We know that the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the
chord.
∴ PM = PG ...(i) (0.5 marks)
(Using the Pythagoras theorem) (0.5 marks)
Since the length of a side cannot be negative, PM = 12 m. (0.5 marks)
∴ MG = PM + PG = 2PM (From (i))
So, MG = 2 12 m = 24 m (0.5 marks)
