  • Q1

    If the perimeter and the area of a circle are numerically equal, then the radius of the circle is 
    (A) 2 units
    (B)  units 
    (C) 4 units 
    (D) 7 units

     

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    So, correct option is A
    Let r be the radius of the circle.

    then, perimeter of circle=area of circle

                                  2r=r2

                                     2=r.
    Thus, r=2 units.

    Thus, the radius of circle is 2 units.

  • Q2

    In AP, if a=-10, n=6 and an=10, then the value of d is 
    (A)   0
    (B)   4
    (C)  -4
    (D) 10/3

     

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    So, correct option is B  
    Since,  
    an = a + (n-1)d

    10 =-10 + (6-1)d

    20 = 5d d=4.

    Thus, d is 4.

  • Q3

    Which of the following cannot be the probability of an event?
    (A) 1.5
    (B) 3/5
    (C) 25%
    (D) 0.3

     

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    The correct answer is A.
    The probability of an event is always greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to one i.e., 0
    £P(E)£
    1.
    Here, 3/5=0.6 and 25%=0.25 

    Therefore, 0.6, 0.25 and 0.3 are greater than or equal to 0 and are less than or equal to 1. But 1.5 is greater than 1. Thus, 1.5 can not be the probability of an event.

  • Q6

    The angle of elevation of the top of a tower from a point on the ground, which is 30 m away from the foot of the tower is 45°. The height of the tower (in metres) is
    (A) 15
    (B) 30
    (C) 303
    (D) 103

     

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    The correct option is B

    Let AB be the tower and P be the point on the ground. It is given that BP=30 m, 
    P=45°

    Now, AB/BP=tan45°

    AB/30m=1

    AB=30m.

    Thus, the height of the tower is 30m.

  • Q8

    In figure, PA and PB are tangents to the circles with centre O. If APB=60°, then OAB is
                     
    (A) 30°
    (B) 60°
    (C) 90°
    (D) 15°

     

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    Thus, the correct option is A. 

    PA and PB are tangents to the circle from an external point O.

    Therefore, PA=PB.

     PAB is an isosceles triangle where PAB=PBA

    P+PAB+PBA=180°   [Angle sum property of triangle]

            60°+2ÐPAB=180°

                    2ÐPAB=180°-60°

                              =120°

                       ÐPAB=120°/2

                              =60°

    It is known that the radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact.

                   OAB=90°

           PAB+OAB=90°

                     OAB=90° - 60°

                             =30°

  • Q9

    In figure, O is the centre of a circle, AB is a chord and AT is the tangent at A. If AOB=100°, then BAT is equal to
                            
    (A) 100°        
    (B) 40°
    (C) 50°
    (D) 90°

     

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    Thus, the correct option is C.
    It is given that 
    AOB=100°

    DAOB is isosceles because OA=OB= radius

    OAB=OBA

    AOB+OAB+OBA=180°

      100°+OAB+OAB=180°

                        2OAB=180° - 100°

                          OAB=80°/2

                                  =40°

    Now, OAT=90° [AT is tangent and OA is radius]

    Thus, BAT=OAT-OAB

                     =90°-40°

                     =50°.
