Question 1.
If two cubes of side 6 cm are joined face to face, then find the volume of the resulting cuboid.
Solution:
Side of a cube = 6 cm
∴ By joining two such cubes, the length of so
formed cuboid (l) = 6 x 2 = 12 cm
Breadth (b) = 6 cm
Height (h) = 6 cm
∴ Volume = lbh = 12 x 6 x 6 cm³
= 432 cm³

Question 2.
Three cubes of metal whose edges are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5, are melted down into a single cube whose diagonals is 12 \(\sqrt { 3 } \) cm. Find the edges of three cubes.
Solution:
Ratio in the sides of three cubes = 3 : 4 : 5
Let side of first cube = 3x
and side of second cube = 4x
and side of third cube = 5x
∴ Sum of volume of three cubes
= (3x)³ + (4x)³ + (5x)³
= 27x³ + 64x³ + 125x³ = 216x³
∴ Volume of the cube formed Jby melting these three cubes = 216x³

∴ Side of first cube = 3x = 3 x 2 = 6 cm
Side of second cube = 4x = 4×2 = 8 cm
and side of third cube = 5.r = 5 x 2 = 10 cm

Question 3.
If the perimeter of each face of a cube is 32 cm, find its lateral surface area. Note that four faces which meet the base of a cube are called its lateral faces.
Solution:
Perimeter of each face of a cube = 32 cm
∴ Length of edge = \(\frac { 32 }{ 4 }\) = 8 cm
and lateral surface area of the cube = 4 x (side)²
= 4 x 8 x 8 = 256 cm²

Question 4.
Find the edge of a cube whose surface area is 432 m².
Solution:

Question 5.
A cuboid has total surface area of 372 cm² and its lateral surface area is 180 cm², find the area of its base.
Solution:
Total surface area of a cuboid = 372 cm²
and lateral surface area = 180 cm²
∴ Area of base and roof = 372 – 180 = 192 cm²
and area of base = \(\frac { 192 }{ 2 }\) = 96 cm²

Question 6.
Three cubes of each side 4 cm are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Solution:
By joining three cubes of side 4 cm each, end is end, we get a cuboid
Length of cuboid = 4 x 3 = 12 cm
Breadth = 4 cm
and height = 4 cm

∴ Surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[12 x4+4×4 + 4x 12] cm²
= 2[48 + 16 + 48] cm²
= 2 x 112 = 224 cm²

Question 7.
The surface area of a cuboid is 1300 cm2. If its breadth is 10 cm and height is 20 cm, find its length.
Solution:
Surface area of a cuboid = 1300 cm²
Breadth (b) = 10 cm
and height (h) = 20 cm
Let l be the length, then
= 2 (lb + bh + hl) = 1300
lb+ bh + hl = \(\frac { 1300 }{ 2 }\) = 650
l x 10 + 10 x 20 + 20 x l = 650
10l + 20l + 200 = 650
⇒ 30l = 650 – 200 = 450
⇒ l = \(\frac { 450 }{ 30 }\) = 15
∴ Length of cuboid = 15 cm

Solution:
Edge of first cube = 6 cm
Edge of second cube = 8 cm
and edge of third cube = 10 cm
∴ Volume of 3 cubes = (6)³ + (8)³ + (10)3 cm³
= 216 + 512 + 1000 cm³
= 1728 cm³
∴ Edge of so formed cube

Question 7.
Two cubes, each of volume 512 cm³ are joined end to end. Find the surface area of the resulting cuboid.
Solution:
Volume of each volume = 512 cm³
∴ Side (edge) = \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 512 }\)
=\(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ { 8 }^{ 3 } }\)  = 8 cm
Now by joining two cubes, then Length of so formed cuboid (l)
= 8 + 8 = 16 cm
Breadth (b) = 8 cm
and height (h) = 8 cm
∴ Surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[16 x 8 + 8 x 8 + 8 x 16] cm²
= 2[128 + 64 + 128] cm²
= 2 x 320 = 640 cm²

Question 8.
A metal cube of edge 12 cm is melted and formed into three smaller cubes. If the edges of the two smaller cubes are 6 cm and 8 cm, find the edge of the third smaller cube.
Solution:
Edge of metal cube = 12 cm
∴ Its volume = (Edge)³ = (12)³ cm3³
= 1728 cm³
It is melted and form 3 cubes
Edge of one smaller cube = 6 cm
and edge of second smaller cube = 8 cm
∴ Volume of two smaller cubes = (6)³ + (8)³ cm³
= 216 + 512 cm³ = 728 cm³
∴ Volume of third smaller cube = 1728 – 728 = 1000 cm³
∴ Edge of the third cube = \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 1000 }\)
= \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ (10)3 }\)  cm = 10 cm

Solution:
Outer length of the closed wooden box (l) = 25 cm
Breadth (b) = 18 cm
and height (h) = 15 cm
Width of wood = 2 cm

∴ Inner length = 25 – 2×2 = 25- 4 = 21cm
Breadth =18- 2×2 = 18-4 = 14 cm
and height =15- 2×2 = 15- 4=11 cm
Now outer volume = 25 x 18 x 15 cm³ = 6750 cm³
and inner volume = 21 x 14 x 11 cm³ = 3234 cm³
(i) Inner volume = 3234 cm³
(ii) Volume of wood = 6750 – 3234 = 3516 cm³

Question 12.
The external dimensions of a closed wooden box are 48 cm, 36 cm, 30 cm. The box is made of 1.5 cm thick wood. How many bricks of size 6 cm x 3 cm x 0.75 cm can be put in this box?
Solution:
External length of a closed wooden box (L) = 48 cm
Width (B) = 36 cm
and height (H) = 30 cm
Thickness of wood = 1.5 cm

∴ Internal length (l) = 48 – 2 x 1.5 cm = 48 – 3 = 45 cm
Width (b) = 36 – 2 x 1.5 cm
= 36 – 3 = 33 cm
and height (h) = 30 – 2 x 1.5 cm
= 30 – 3 = 27 cm
Now volume of internal box
= lbh = 45 x 33 x 27 cm³
Volume of one bricks = 6 x 3 x 0.75 cm³

Question 13.

Now length of vessel (l) = 15 cm
and breadth (b) = 12 cm

Question 14.
A field is 200 m long and 150 m broad. There is a plot, 50 m long and 40 m broad, near the field. The plot is dug 7 m deep and the earth taken out is spread evenly on the field. By how many metres is the level of the field raised? Give the answer to the second place of decimal.
Solution:
Length of a field (l) = 200 m
Breadth (b) = 150 m
Length of plot = 50 m
and breadth = 40 m
Depth of plot = 7 m

Question 15.
A field is in the form of a rectangle of length 18 m and width 15 m. A pit, 7.5 m long, 6 m broad and 0.8 m deep, is dug in a comer of the field and the earth taken out is spread- over the remaining area of the field. Find out the extent to which the level of the field has been raised.
Solution:
Length of a field (L) = 18m
and width (B) = 15 m
Length of pit (l) = 7.5 m
Breadth (b) = 6 m
and depth (h) = 0.8 m

∴ Volume of earth dugout = lbh
= 7.5 x 6 x 0.8 m³
= 45 x 0.8 = \(\frac { 45 x 4 }{ 5 }\) = 36 m3
Total area of the field = L x B
= 18 x 15 = 270 m²
and area of pit = lb = 7.5 x 6 = 45 m²
∴ Remaining area of the field excluding pit
= 270 – 45 = 225 m²
Let by spreading the earth on the remaining part of the field, the height = h
= 225 x h = 36
⇒ h = \(\frac { 36 }{ 225 }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 25 }\)= 0.16 m = 16 cm
∴ Level of field raised = 16 cm

A village having a population of 4000 requires 150 litres of water per head per day. It has a tank measuring 20 m x 15m x 6 m. For how many days will the water of this tank last? [NCERT]
Solution:
Population of a village = 4000
Water required per head per day = 150 litres
∴ Total water required = 4000 x 150 litres = 600000 litres
Dimensions of a tank = 20mx 15mx6m
∴ Volume of tank = 20 x 15 x 6 m3 = 1800 m³
Capacity of water in litres = 1800 x 1000 litres (1 m³ = 1000 litres)
= 1800000 litres
The water will last for = \(\frac { 1800000 }{ 600000 }\) = 3 days

Question 17.

Solution:
No. of cubes at the given structure = 1+ 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 = 15
Edge of one cube = 3 cm
∴ Volume of one cube = (3)³ = 3 x 3 x 3 cm³ = 27 cm³
∴Volume of the structure = 27 x 15 cm³ = 405 cm³

Question 18.
A godown measures 40 m x 25 m x 10 m. Find the maximum number of wooden crates each measuring 1.5 m x 1.25 m x 0.5 m that can be stored in the godown. [NCERT]
Solution:
Length of godown (L) = 40 m
Breadth (B) = 25 m
and height (H) = 10 m
∴ Volume of godown = LBH
= 40 x 25 x 10 = 10000 m³
Dimension of one wooden crates = 1.5 m x 1.25 m x 0.5 m
∴Volume of one crate = 1.5 x 1.25 x 0.5 m³ = 0.9375 m³
∴ Number of crates to be stored in the

Solution:
Length of wall (L) = 10 m = 1000 cm
Height (H) = 4 m = 400 cm
Thickness (B) = 24 cm = 24 cm
∴ Volume of wall = LBH = 1000 x 24 x 400 cm3 = 9600000 cm³
Dimensions of one brick = 24 cm x 12 cm x 8 cm = 2304 cm³

Question 20.
If V is the volume of a cuboid of dimensions a, b, c and S is its surface area, then prove that

Solution:
a, b, c are the dimensions of a cuboid S is the surface area and V is the volume
∴ V = abc and S = 2(lb + bc + ca)

Question 21.
The areas of three adjacent faces of a cuboid are x, y and z. If the volume is V, prove that V² = xyz.
Solution:
Let a, b, c are the dimensions of a cuboid then,
x = ab, y = bc, z = ca
and V = abc
Now L.H.S. = V²
= (abc)² = a²b²c²
= ab.bc.ca = xyz = R.H.S.
Hence V² = xyz

Solution:
External length of open box (L) = 36 cm
Breadth (B) = 25 cm
and Height (H) = 16.5 cm
Width of iron sheet used = 1.5 cm
∴ Inner length (l) = 36 – 1.5 x 2 = 36 – 3 = 33 cm
Breadth (b) = 25 – 2 x 1.5 = 25 – 3 = 22 cm
and Height (h) = 16.5 – 1.5 = 15 cm
∴ Volume of the iron used = Outer volume – Inner volume
= 36 x 25 x 16.5 – 33 x 22 x 15
= 14850 – 10890 = 3960 cm3
Weight of 1 cm3 = 15 g

Area of cross section of the month of pipe = 25 cm²
and speed of water-flow =16 km/h
∴ Volume of water is 45 minutes

Question 28.
Water in a rectangular reservoir having base 80 m by 60 m is 6.5 m deep. In what time can the water be emptied by a pipe of which the cross-section is a square of side 20 cm, if the water runs through the pipe at the rate of 15 km/hr.
Solution:
Length of reservoir (l) = 80 m
Breadth (b) = 60 m
and depth (h) = 6.5 m
∴ Volume of water in it = lbh = 80 x 60 x 6.5 m³ = 31200 m³
Area of cross-section of the month of pipe = 20 x 20 = 400 cm²

Question 1.
Find the lateral surface area and total surface area of a cuboid of length 80 cm, breadth 40 cm and height 20 cm.
Solution:
Length of cuboid (l) = 80 cm
Breadth (b) = 40 cm
Height (h) = 20 cm
(i) ∴ Lateral surface area = 2h(l + b)
= 2 x 20(80 + 40) cm²
= 40 x 120 = 4800 cm²
(ii) Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2(80 x 40 + 40 x 20 + 20 x 80) cm²
= 2(3200 + 800 + 1600) cm²
= 5600 x 2 = 11200 cm²

Question 2.
Find the lateral surface area and total surface area of a cube of edge 10 cm.
Solution:
Edge of cube (a) = 10 cm
(i) ∴ Lateral surface area = 4a²
= 4 x (10)² = 4 x 100 cm²= 400 cm²
(ii) Total surface area = 6a² = 6 x(10)² cm²
= 6 x 100 = 600 cm²

Question 3.
Find the ratio of the total surface area and lateral surface area of a cube.
Solution:
Let a be the edge of the cube, then Total surface area = 6a2²
and lateral surface area = 4a²
Now ratio between total surface area and lateral surface area = 6a² : 4a² = 3 : 2

Question 4.
Mary wants to decorate her Christmas tree. She wants to place the tree on a wooden block covered with coloured paper with picture of Santa Claus on it. She must know the exact quantity of paper to buy for this purpose. If the box has length, breadth and height as 80 cm, 40 cm and 20 cm respectively. How many square sheets of paper of side 40 cm would she require?   [NCERT]
Solution:
Length of box (l) = 80 cm
Breadth (b) = 40 cm
and height (h) = 20 cm
∴ Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + hl)
= 2[80 x 40 + 40 x 20 + 20 x 80] cm²
= 2[3200 + 800 + 1600] cm² = 2 x 5600 = 11200 cm²
Size of paper sheet = 40 cm
∴ Area of one sheet = (40 cm)² = 1600 cm²
∴ No. of sheets required for the box = 11200 = 1600 = 7 sheets

Question 5.
The length, breadth and height of a room are 5 m, 4 m and 3 m respectively. Find the cost of white washing the walls of the room and the ceiling at the rate of ₹7.50 m².
Solution:
Length of a room (l) = 5m
Breadth (b) = 4 m
and height (h) = 3 m
∴ Area of 4 walls = 2(l + b) x h
= 2(5 + 4) x 3 = 6 x 9 = 54 m²
and area of ceiling = l x b = 5 x 4 = 20 m²
∴ Total area = 54 + 20 = 74 m2
Rate of white washing = 7.50 per m²
∴ Total cost = ₹74 x 7.50 = ₹555

Question 6.
Three equal cubes are placed adjacently in a row. Find the ratio of total surface area of the new cuboid to that of the sum of the surface areas of the three cubes.
Solution:
Let each side of a cube = a cm
Then surface area = 6a² cm²
and surface area of 3 such cubes = 3 x 6a² = 18a² cm²
By placing three cubes side by side we get a cuboid whose,
Length (l) = a x 3 = 3a
Breadth (b) = a
Height (h) = a
∴ Total surface area = 2(lb + bh + hf)
= 2[3a x a+a x a+a x 3a] cm²
= 2[3a² + a² + 3a²] = 14 a²
∴ Ratio between their surface areas = 14a² : 18a² = 7 : 9

Question 7.
A 4 cm cube is cut into 1 cm cubes. Calculate the total surface area of all the small cubes.
Solution:
Side of cube = 4 cm
But cutting into 1 cm cubes, we get = 4 x 4 x 4 = 64
Now surface area of one cube = 6 x (1)²
= 6 x 1=6 cm²
and surface area of 64 cubes = 6 x 64 cm² = 384 cm²

Question 8.
The length of a hall is 18 m and the width 12 m. The sum of the areas of the floor and the flat roof is equal to the sum of the areas of the four walls. Find the height of the hall.
Solution:
Let h be the height of the room
Length (l) = 18 m
and width (b) = 12 m
Now surface area of floor and roof = 2 x lb = 2 x 18 x 12 m²
= 432 m²
and surface area of 4-walls = 2h (l + b)
= 2h(18 + 12) = 2 x 30h m² = 60h m²
∵ The surface are of 4-walls and area of floor and roof are equal
∴ 60h = 432
⇒ h = \(\frac { 432 }{ 60 }\) = \(\frac { 72 }{ 10 }\) m
∴ Height = 7.2m

Question 9.
Hameed has built a cubical water tank with lid for his house, with each other edge 1.5m long. He gets the outer surface of the tank excluding the base, covered with square tiles of side 25 cm. Find how much he would spend for the tiles, if the cost of tiles is ₹360 per dozen. [NCERT]
Solution:
Edge of cubical tank = 1.5 m
∴ Area of 4 walls = 4 (side)² = 4(1.5)² m² = 4 x 225 = 9 m²
Area of floor = (1.5)² = 2.25 m²
∴ Total surface area = 9 + 2.25 = 11.25 m²
Edge of square tile = 25 m = 0.25 m²
∴ Area of 1 tile = (0.25)2 = .0625 m²

Question 10.

Breadth (b) = 9 m
Depth (h) = 4 cm

Question 12.
Ravish wanted to make a temporary shelter for his car by making a box-like structure with tarpaulin that covers all the four sides and the top of tire car (with the front face as a flap which can be rolled up). Assuming that the stitching margins are very small, and therefore negligible, how much tarpaulin would be required to make (he shelter of height 2.5 m with base dimensions 4 m x 3 m? [NCERT]
Solution:
Length of base (l) = 4m
Breadth (b) = 3 m
Height (h) = 2.5 m

Question 13.
An open box is made of wood 3 cm thick. Its external length, breadth and height are 1.48 m, 1.16 m and 8.3 dm. Find the cost of painting the inner surface of ₹50 per sq. metre.
Solution:
Length of open wood box (L) = 1.48 m = 148 cm
Breadth (B) = 1.16 m = 116 cm
and height (H) = 8.3 dm = 83 cm
Thickness of wood = 3 cm

Question 14.
The dimensions of a room are 12.5 m by 9 m by 7 m. There are 2 doors and 4 windows in the room; each door measures 2.5 m by 1.2 m and each window 1.5 m by 1 m. Find the cost of painting the walls at ₹3.50 per square metre.
Solution:
Length of room (l) = 12.5 m
Breadth (b) = 9 m
and height (h) = 7 m
∴ Total area of walls = 2h(l + b)
= 2 x 7[12.5 + 9] = 14 x 21.5 m² = 301 m²
Area of 2 doors of 2.5 m x 1.2 m
= 2 x 2.5 x 1.2 m² = 6 m²
and area of 4 window of 1.5 m x 1 m
= 4 x 1.5 x 1 = 6 m²
∴ Remaining area of walls = 301 – (6 + 6)
= 301 – 12 = 289 m²
Rate of painting the walls = ₹3.50 per m²
∴ Total cost = 289 x 3.50 = ₹1011.50

Question 15.
The paint in a certain container is sufficient to paint on area equal to 9.375 m2. How many bricks of dimension 22.5 cm x 10 cm x 7.5 cm can be painted out of this container? [NCERT]
Solution:
Area of place for painting = 9.375 m²
Dimension of one brick = 22.5 cm x 10 cm x 7.5 cm
∴ Surface area of one bricks = 2 (lb + bh + hl)
= 2[22.5 x 10 + 10 x 7.5 + 7.5 x 22.5] cm2
= 2[225 + 75 + 168.75]
= 2 x 468.75 cm² = 937.5 cm²

The dimensions of a rectangular box are in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 4 and the difference between the cost of covering it with sheet of paper at the rates of ₹8 and ₹9.50 per m2 is ₹1248. Find the dimensions of the box.
Solution:
Ratio in the dimensions of a cuboidal box = 2 : 3 : 4
Let length (l) = 4x
Breadth (b) = 3.v
and height (h) = 2x
∴ Total surface area = 2 [lb + bh + hl]

Question 17.

Find the total expenses required for polishing and painting the surface of the bookshelf.  [NCERT]
Solution:
Length (l) = 85 cm
Breadth (b) = 25 cm
and height (h) = 110 cm
Thickness of plank = 5 cm
Surface area to be polished
= [(100 x 85) + 2 (110 x 25) + 2 (85 x 25) + 2 (110 x 5) + 4 (75 x 5)]
= (9350 + 5500 + 4250 + 1100 + 1500) cm² = 21700 cm²

Question 1.
In the figure, two circles intersect at A and B. The centre of the smaller circle is O and it lies on the circumference of the larger circle. If ∠APB = 70°, find ∠ACB.

Solution:
Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠APB at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠AOB = 2∠APB = 2 x 70° = 140°
Now in cyclic quadrilateral AOBC,
∠AOB + ∠ACB = 180° (Sum of the angles)
⇒ 140° +∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 140° = 40°
∴ ∠ACB = 40°

Question 2.
In the figure, two congruent circles with centre O and O’ intersect at A and B. If ∠AO’B = 50°, then find ∠APB.

Solution:
Two congruent circles with centres O and O’ intersect at A and B

∠AO’B = 50°
∵ OA = OB = O’A = 04B (Radii of the congruent circles)

Question 3.
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which ∠BAD = 75°, ∠ABD = 58° and ∠ADC = IT, AC and BD intersect at P. Then, find ∠DPC.

Solution:
∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,

∴ ∠BAD + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ 75° + ∠BCD – 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180°-75°= 105° and ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ 77° + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180°-77°= 103°
∴ ∠DBC = ∠ABC – ∠ABD = 103° – 58° = 45°
∵ Arc AD subtends ∠ABD and ∠ACD in the same segment of the circle 3
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACD = 58°
∴ ∠ACB = ∠BCD – ∠ACD = 105° – 58° = 47°
Now in ∆PBC,
Ext. ∠DPC = ∠PBC + ∠PCB
=∠DBC + ∠ACB = 45° + 47° = 92°
Hence ∠DPC = 92°

Question 4.
In the figure, if ∠AOB = 80° and ∠ABC = 30°, then find ∠CAO.

Solution:
In the figure, ∠AOB = 80°, ∠ABC = 30°
∵ Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and
∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle

∴ ∠ACB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠AOB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 80° = 40°
In ∆OAB, OA = OB
∴ ∠OAB = ∠OBA
But ∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180°
∴ ∠OAB + ∠OBA + 80° = 180°
⇒ ∠OAB + ∠OAB = 180° – 80° = 100°
∴ 2∠OAB = 100°
⇒ ∠OAB = \(\frac { { 100 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 50°
Similarly, in ∆ABC,
∠BAC + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180°
∠BAC + 40° + 30° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180°-30°-40°
= 180°-70°= 110°
∴ ∠CAO = ∠BAC – ∠OAB
= 110°-50° = 60°

Question 5.
In the figure, A is the centre of the circle. ABCD is a parallelogram and CDE is a straight line. Find ∠BCD : ∠ABE.

Solution:
In the figure, ABCD is a parallelogram and
CDE is a straight line

∵ ABCD is a ||gm
∴ ∠A = ∠C
and ∠C = ∠ADE (Corresponding angles)
⇒ ∠BCD = ∠ADE
Similarly, ∠ABE = ∠BED (Alternate angles)
∵ arc BD subtends ∠BAD at the centre and
∠BED at the remaining part of the circle

Question 6.
In the figure, AB is a diameter of the circle such that ∠A = 35° and ∠Q = 25°, find ∠PBR.

Solution:
In the figure, AB is the diameter of the circle such that ∠A = 35° and ∠Q = 25°, join OP.

Arc PB subtends ∠POB at the centre and
∠PAB at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠POB = 2∠PAB = 2 x 35° = 70°
Now in ∆OP,
OP = OB radii of the circle
∴ ∠OPB = ∠OBP = 70° (∵ ∠OPB + ∠OBP = 140°)
Now ∠APB = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
∴ ∠BPQ = 90°
and in ∆PQB,
Ext. ∠PBR = ∠BPQ + ∠PQB
= 90° + 25°= 115°
∴ ∠PBR = 115°

Question 7.
In the figure, P and Q are centres of two circles intersecting at B and C. ACD is a straight line. Then, ∠BQD =

Solution:
In the figure, P and Q are the centres of two circles which intersect each other at C and B
ACD is a straight line ∠APB = 150°
Arc AB subtends ∠APB at the centre and
∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ACB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠APB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 150° = 75°
But ∠ACB + ∠BCD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 75° + ∠BCD = 180°
∠BCD = 180°-75°= 105°
Now arc BD subtends reflex ∠BQD at the centre and ∠BCD at the remaining part of the circle
Reflex ∠BQD = 2∠BCD = 2 x 105° = 210°
But ∠BQD + reflex ∠BQD = 360°
∴ ∠BQD+ 210° = 360°
∴ ∠BQD = 360° – 210° = 150°

Question 8.
In the figure, if O is circumcentre of ∆ABC then find the value of ∠OBC + ∠BAC.

Solution:
In the figure, join OC

∵ O is the circumcentre of ∆ABC
∴ OA = OB = OC
∵ ∠CAO = 60° (Proved)
∴ ∆OAC is an equilateral triangle
∴ ∠AOC = 60°
Now, ∠BOC = ∠BOA + ∠AOC
= 80° + 60° = 140°
and in ∆OBC, OB = OC
∠OCB = ∠OBC
But ∠OCB + ∠OBC = 180° – ∠BOC
= 180°- 140° = 40°
⇒ ∠OBC + ∠OBC = 40°
∴ ∠OBC = \(\frac { { 40 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 20°
∠BAC = OAB + ∠OAC = 50° + 60° = 110°
∴ ∠OBC + ∠BAC = 20° + 110° = 130°

Question 9.
In the AOC is a diameter of the circle and arc AXB = 1/2 arc BYC. Find ∠BOC.

Solution:
In the figure, AOC is diameter arc AxB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) arc BYC 1
∠AOB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠BOC
⇒ ∠BOC = 2∠AOB
But ∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB + 2∠AOB = 180°
⇒ 3 ∠AOB = 180°
∴ ∠AOB = \(\frac { { 180 }^{ \circ } }{ 3 }\)  = 60°
∴ ∠BOC = 2 x 60° = 120°

Question 10.
In the figure, ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle with centre O. CD produced to E such that ∠AED = 95° and ∠OBA = 30°. Find ∠OAC.

Solution:
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
CD is produced to E such that ∠ADE = 95°
O is the centre of the circle

∵ ∠ADC + ∠ADE = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC + 95° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADC = 180°-95° = 85°
Now arc ABC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ADC at the remaining part of the circle
∵ ∠AOC = 2∠ADC = 2 x 85° = 170°
Now in ∆OAC,
∠OAC + ∠OCA + ∠AOC = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ ∠OAC = ∠OCA (∵ OA = OC radii of circle)
∴ ∠OAC + ∠OAC + 170° = 180°
2∠OAC = 180°- 170°= 10°
∴ ∠OAC = \(\frac { { 10 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\) = 5°

Question 1.
In the figure, ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle. Find m ∠BEC.

Solution:
∵ ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle
∴ A = 60°
∵ ABEC is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠A + ∠E = 180° (Sum of opposite angles)
⇒ 60° + ∠E = 180°
⇒ ∠E = 180° – 60° = 120°
∴ m ∠BEC = 120°

Question 2.
In the figure, ∆PQR is an isosceles triangle with PQ = PR and m ∠PQR = 35°. Find m ∠QSR and m ∠QTR.

Solution:
In the figure, ∆PQR is an isosceles PQ = PR
∠PQR = 35°
∴ ∠PRQ = 35°
But ∠PQR + ∠PRQ + ∠QPR = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 35° + 35° + ∠QPR = 180°
⇒ 70° + ∠QPR = 180°
∴ ∠QPR = 180° – 70° = 110°
∵ ∠QSR = ∠QPR (Angle in the same segment of circles)
∴ ∠QSR = 110°
But PQTR is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠QTR + ∠QPR = 180°
⇒ ∠QTR + 110° = 180°
⇒ ∠QTR = 180° -110° = 70°
Hence ∠QTR = 70°

Question 3.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle. If ∠BOD = 160°, find the values of x and y.

Solution:
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle ∠BOD =160°
ABCD is the cyclic quadrilateral
∵ Arc BAD subtends ∠BOD is the angle at the centre and ∠BCD is on the other part of the circle
∴ ∠BCD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠BOD
⇒ x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 160° = 80°
∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∴ ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ y + x = 180°
⇒ y + 80° = 180°
⇒ y =180°- 80° = 100°
∴ x = 80°, y = 100°

Question 4.
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. If ∠BCD = 100° and ∠ABD = 70°, find ∠ADB.

Solution:
In a circle, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral ∠BCD = 100° and ∠ABD = 70°
∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∴ ∠A + ∠C = 180° (Sum of opposite angles)

⇒ ∠A + 100°= 180°
∠A = 180°- 100° = 80°
Now in ∆ABD,
∠A + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180°
⇒ 80° + 70° + ∠ADB = 180°
⇒ 150° +∠ADB = 180°
∴ ∠ADB = 180°- 150° = 30°
Hence ∠ADB = 30°

Question 5.
If ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AD || BC. Prove that ∠B = ∠C.

Solution:
Given : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AD || BC

To prove : ∠B = ∠C
Proof : ∵ AD || BC
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180°
(Sum of cointerior angles)
But ∠A + ∠C = 180°
(Opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral)
∴ ∠A + ∠B = ∠A + ∠C
⇒ ∠B = ∠C
Hence ∠B = ∠C

Question 6.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle. Find ∠CBD.

Solution:
Arc AC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠APC at the remaining part of the circle

∴ ∠APC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠AOC
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 100° = 50°
∵ APCB is a.cyclic quadrilateral,
∴ ∠APC + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ 50° + ∠ABC = 180° ⇒ ∠ABC =180°- 50°
∴ ∠ABC =130°
But ∠ABC + ∠CBD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 130° + ∠CBD = 180°
⇒ ∠CBD = 180°- 130° = 50°
∴ ∠CBD = 50°

Question 7.
In the figure, AB and CD are diameiers of a circle with centre O. If ∠OBD = 50°, find ∠AOC.

Solution:
Two diameters AB and CD intersect each other at O. AC, CB and BD are joined

∠DBA = 50°
∠DBA and ∠DCA are in the same segment
∴ ∠DBA = ∠DCA = 50°
In ∆OAC, OA = OC (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∠OAC = ∠OCA = ∠DCA = 50°
and ∠OAC + ∠OCA + ∠AOC = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 50° + 50° + ∠AOC = 180°
⇒ 100° + ∠AOC = 180°
⇒ ∠AOC = 180° – 100° = 80°
Hence ∠AOC = 80°

Question 8.
On a semi circle with AB as diameter, a point C is taken so that m (∠CAB) = 30°. Find m (∠ACB) and m (∠ABC).
Solution:
A semicircle with AB as diameter

∠ CAB = 30°
∠ACB = 90° (Angle in a semi circle)
But ∠CAB + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ 30° + 90° + ∠ABC – 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠ABC = 180°
∴ ∠ABC = 180°- 120° = 60°
Hence m ∠ACB = 90°
and m ∠ABC = 60°

Question 9.
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, if AB || CD and ∠B = 70°, find the remaining angles.
Solution:
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, AB || CD and ∠B = 70°

∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠B + ∠D = 180°
⇒ 70° + ∠D = 180°
⇒ ∠D = 180°-70° = 110°
∵ AB || CD
∴ ∠A + ∠D = 180° (Sum of cointerior angles)
∠A+ 110°= 180°
⇒ ∠A= 180°- 110° = 70°
Similarly, ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 70° + ∠C- 180° ‘
⇒ ∠C = 180°-70°= 110°
∴ ∠A = 70°, ∠C = 110°, ∠D = 110°

Question 10.
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, if m ∠A = 3(m ∠C). Find m ∠A.
Solution:
In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, m ∠A = 3(m ∠C)

∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∴ ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 3 ∠C + ∠C = 180° ⇒ 4∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = \(\frac { { 180 }^{ \circ } }{ 4 }\)  = 45°
∴ ∠A = 3 x 45°= 135°
Hence m ∠A =135°

Question 11.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle and ∠DAB = 50°. Calculate the values of x and y.

Solution:
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle ∠DAB = 50°
∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 50° + y = 180°
⇒ y = 180° – 50° = 130°
In ∆OAB, OA = OB (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∠A = ∠OBA = 50°
∴ Ext. ∠DOB = ∠A + ∠OBA
x = 50° + 50° = 100°
∴ x= 100°, y= 130°

Question 12.
In the figure, if ∠BAC = 60° and ∠BCA = 20°, find ∠ADC.

Solution:
In ∆ABC,
∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)

60° + ∠ABC + 20° = 180°
∠ABC + 80° = 180°
∴ ∠ABC = 180° -80°= 100°
∵ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∴ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
100° + ∠ADC = 180°
∴ ∠ADC = 180°- 100° = 80°

Question 13.
In the figure, if ABC is an equilateral triangle. Find ∠BDC and ∠BEC.

Solution:
In a circle, ∆ABC is an equilateral triangle

∴ ∠A = 60°
∵ ∠BAC and ∠BDC are in the same segment
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 60°
∵ BECD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠BDC + ∠BEC = 180°
⇒ 60° + ∠BEC = 180°
⇒ ∠BEC = 180°-60°= 120°
Hence ∠BDC = 60° and ∠BEC = 120°

Question 14.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle. If ∠CEA = 30°, find the values of x, y and z.

Solution:
∠AEC and ∠ADC are in the same segment
∴ ∠AEC = ∠ADC = 30°
∴ z = 30°
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠B + ∠D = 180°
⇒ x + z = 180°
⇒ x + 30° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 30° = 150°
Arc AC subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ADC at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠D = 2 x 30° = 60°
∴ y = 60°
Hence x = 150°, y – 60° and z = 30°

Question 15.
In the figure, ∠BAD = 78°, ∠DCF = x° and ∠DEF = y°. Find the values of x and y.

Solution:
In the figure, two circles intersect each other at C and D
∠BAD = 78°, ∠DCF = x, ∠DEF = y
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ Ext. ∠DCF = its interior opposite ∠BAD
⇒ x = 78°
In cyclic quadrilateral CDEF,
∠DCF + ∠DEF = 180°
⇒ 78° + y = 180°
⇒ y = 180° – 78°
y = 102°
Hence x = 78°, and y- 102°

Question 16.
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, if ∠A – ∠C = 60°, prove that the smaller of two is 60°.
Solution:
In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,
∠A – ∠C = 60°
But ∠A + ∠C = 180° (Sum of opposite angles)

Adding, 2∠A = 240° ⇒ ∠A = \(\frac { { 62 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 120° and subtracting
2∠C = 120° ⇒ ∠C = \(\frac { { 120 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 60°
∴ Smaller angle of the two is 60°.

Question 17.
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Find the value of x.

Solution:
∠CDE + ∠CDA = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 80° + ∠CDA = 180°
⇒ ∠CDA = 180° – 80° = 100°

In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,
Ext. ∠ABF = Its interior opposite angle ∠CDA = 100°
∴ x = 100°

Question 18.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which:
(i) BC || AD, ∠ADC =110° and ∠B AC = 50°. Find ∠DAC.
(ii) ∠DBC = 80° and ∠BAC = 40°. Find ∠BCD.
(iii) ∠BCD = 100° and ∠ABD = 70°, find ∠ADB.
Solution:
(i) In the figure,

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral and AD || BC, ∠ADC = 110°
∠BAC = 50°
∵ ∠B + ∠D = 180° (Sum of opposite angles)
⇒ ∠B + 110° = 180°
∴ ∠B = 180°- 110° = 70°
Now in ∆ABC,
∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠BCA = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 50° + 70° + ∠BCA = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠BCA = 180°
⇒ ∠BCA = 180° – 120° = 60°
But ∠DAC = ∠BCA (Alternate angles)
∴ ∠DAC = 60°
(ii) In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,
Diagonals AC and BD are joined ∠DBC = 80°, ∠BAC = 40°

Arc DC subtends ∠DBC and ∠DAC in the same segment
∴ ∠DBC = ∠DAC = 80°
∴ ∠DAB = ∠DAC + ∠CAB = 80° + 40° = 120°
But ∠DAC + ∠BCD = 180° (Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quad.)
⇒ 120° +∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180°- 120° = 60°
(iii) In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral BD is joined
∠BCD = 100°
and ∠ABD = 70°

∠A + ∠C = 180° (Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quad.)
∠A+ 100°= 180°
⇒ ∠A= 180°- 100°
∴ ∠A = 80°
Now in ∆ABD,
∠A + ∠ABD + ∠ADB = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 80° + 70° + ∠ADB = 180°
⇒ 150° +∠ADB = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB = 180°- 150° = 30°
∴ ∠ADB = 30°

Question 19.
Prove that the circles described on the four sides of a rhombus as diameter, pass through the point of intersection of its diagonals.
Solution:
Given : ABCD is a rhombus. Four circles are drawn on the sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively

To prove : The circles pass through the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rhombus ABCD
Proof: ABCD is a rhombus whose diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O
∵ The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles
∴ ∠AOB = ∠BOC = ∠COD = ∠DOA = 90°
Now when ∠AOB = 90°
and a circle described on AB as diameter will pass through O
Similarly, the circles on BC, CD and DA as diameter, will also pass through O

Question 20.
If the two sides of a pair of opposite sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are equal, prove that is diagonals are equal.
Solution:
Given : In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, AB = CD
AC and BD are the diagonals

To prove : AC = BC
Proof: ∵ AB = CD
∴ arc AB = arc CD
Adding arc BC to both sides, then arc AB + arc BC = arc BC + arc CD
⇒ arc AC = arc BD
∴ AC = BD
Hence diagonal of the cyclic quadrilateral are equal.

Question 21.
Circles are described on the sides of a triangle as diameters. Prove that the circles on any two sides intersect each other on the third side (or third side produced).
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, circles are drawn on sides AB and AC
To prove : Circles drawn on AB and AC intersect at D which lies on BC, the third side
Construction : Draw AD ⊥ BC

Proof: ∵ AD ⊥ BC
∴ ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°
So, the circles drawn on sides AB and AC as diameter will pass through D
Hence circles drawn on two sides of a triangle pass through D, which lies on the third side.

Question 22.
ABCD is a cyclic trapezium with AD || BC. If ∠B = 70°, determine other three angles of the trapezium.
Solution:
In the figure, ABCD is a trapezium in which AD || BC and ∠B = 70°

∵ AD || BC
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of cointerior angles)
⇒ ∠A + 70° = 180°
⇒ ∠A= 180°- 70° = 110°
∴ ∠A = 110°
But ∠A + ∠C = 180° and ∠B + ∠D = 180° (Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral)
∴ 110° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 180°- 110° = 70°
and 70° + ∠D = 180°
⇒ ∠D = 180° – 70° = 110°
∴ ∠A = 110°, ∠C = 70° and ∠D = 110°

Question 23.
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which AC and BD are its diagonals. If ∠DBC = 55° and ∠BAC = 45°, find ∠BCD.

Solution:
In the figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals AC and BD are drawn ∠DBC = 55° and ∠BAC = 45°

∵ ∠BAC and ∠BDC are in the same segment
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 45°
Now in ABCD,
∠DBC + ∠BDC + ∠BCD = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 55° + 45° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ 100° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° – 100° = 80°
Hence ∠BCD = 80°

Question 24.
Prove that the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are concurrent.
Solution:
Given : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

To prove : The perpendicular bisectors of the sides are concurrent
Proof : ∵ Each side of the cyclic quadrilateral is a chord of the circle and perpendicular of a chord passes through the centre of the circle
Hence the perpendicular bisectors of each side will pass through the centre O
Hence the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are concurrent

Question 25.
Prove that the centre of the circle circumscribing the cyclic rectangle ABCD is the point of intersection of its diagonals.
Solution:
Given : ABCD is a cyclic rectangle and diagonals AC and BD intersect each other at O

To prove : O is the point of intersection is the centre of the circle.
Proof : Let O be the centre of the circle- circumscribing the rectangle ABCD
Since each angle of a rectangle is a right angle and AC is the chord of the circle
∴ AC will be the diameter of the circle Similarly, we can prove that diagonal BD is also the diameter of the circle
∴ The diameters of the circle pass through the centre
Hence the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle is the centre of the circle.

Question 26.
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which BA and CD when produced meet in E and EA = ED. Prove that:
(i) AD || BC
(ii) EB = EC.
Solution:
Given : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which sides BA and CD are produced to meet at E and EA = ED

To prove :
(i) AD || BC
(ii) EB = EC
Proof: ∵ EA = ED
∴ In ∆EAD
∠EAD = ∠EDA (Angles opposite to equal sides)
In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD,
Ext. ∠EAD = ∠C
Similarly Ext. ∠EDA = ∠B
∵ ∠EAD = ∠EDA
∴ ∠B = ∠C
Now in ∆EBC,
∵ ∠B = ∠C
∴ EC = EB (Sides opposite to equal sides)
and ∠EAD = ∠B
But these are corresponding angles
∴ AD || BC

Question 27.
Prove that the angle in a segment shorter than a semicircle is greater than a right angle.
Solution:
Given : A segment ACB shorter than a semicircle and an angle ∠ACB inscribed in it
To prove : ∠ACB < 90°
Construction : Join OA and OB

Proof : Arc ADB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle ∴ ∠ACB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠AOB But ∠AOB > 180° (Reflex angle)
∴ ∠ACB > \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x [80°
⇒ ∠ACB > 90°

Question 28.
Prove that the angle in a segment greater than a semi-circle is less than a right angle
Solution:
Given : A segment ACB, greater than a semicircle with centre O and ∠ACB is described in it
To prove : ∠ACB < 90°
Construction : Join OA and OB

Proof : Arc ADB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ACB =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠AOB
But ∠AOB < 180° (A straight angle) 1
∴ ∠ACB < \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 180°
⇒ ∠ACB <90°
Hence ∠ACB < 90°

Question 29.
Prove that the line segment joining the mid-point of the hypotenuse of a rijght triangle to its opposite vertex is half of the hypotenuse.
Solution:
Given : In a right angled ∆ABC
∠B = 90°, D is the mid point of hypotenuse AC. DB is joined.
To prove : BD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC
Construction : Draw a circle with centre D and AC as diameter

Proof: ∵ ∠ABC = 90°
∴ The circle drawn on AC as diameter will pass through B
∴ BD is the radius of the circle
But AC is the diameter of the circle and D is mid point of AC
∴ AD = DC = BD
∴ BD= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) AC

Question 1.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle. If ∠APB = 50°, find ∠AOB and ∠OAB.

Solution:
Arc AB, subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠APB at the remaining part of the circle
∴∠AOB = 2∠APB = 2 x 50° = 100°
Join AB

∆AOB is an isosceles triangle in which
OA = OB
∴ ∠OAB = ∠OBA But ∠AOB = 100°
∴∠OAB + ∠OBA = 180° – 100° = 80°
⇒ 2∠OAB = 80°
80°
∴∠OAB = \(\frac { { 80 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 40°

Question 2.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle. Find ∠BAC.

Solution:
In the circle with centre O
∠AOB = 80° and ∠AOC =110°
∴ ∠BOC = ∠AOB + ∠AOC
= 80°+ 110°= 190°
∴ Reflex ∠BOC = 360° – 190° = 170°
Now arc BEC subtends ∠BOC at the centre and ∠BAC at the remaining part of the circle.

∴ ∠BOC = 2∠BAC
⇒ 170° = 2∠BAC
⇒ ∠BAC = \(\frac { { 170 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\) = 85°
∴ ∠BAC = 85°

Question 3.
If O is the centre of the circle, find the value of x in each of the following figures:



Solution:
(i) A circle with centre O
∠AOC = 135°
But ∠AOC + ∠COB = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 135° + ∠COB = 180°
⇒ ∠COB = 180°- 135° = 45°
Now arc BC subtends ∠BOC at the centre and ∠BPC at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠BOC = 2∠BPC
⇒ ∠BPC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠BOC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 45° = \(\frac { { 45 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)
∴ ∠BPC = 22 \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)° or x = 22 \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)°
(ii) ∵ CD and AB are the diameters of the circle with centre O
∠ABC = 40°
But in ∆OBC,
OB = OC (Radii of the circle)
∠OCB = ∠OBC – 40°
Now in ABCD,
∠ODB + ∠OCB + ∠CBD = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ x + 40° + 90° = 180°
⇒ x + 130° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 130° = 50°
∴ x = 50°
(iii) In circle with centre O,
∠AOC = 120°, AB is produced to D
∵ ∠AOC = 120°
and ∠AOC + convex ∠AOC = 360°
⇒ 120° + convex ∠AOC = 360°
∴ Convex ∠AOC = 360° – 120° = 240°
∴ Arc APC Subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ABC at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ABC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠AOC = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)x 240° = 120°
But ∠ABC + ∠CBD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 120° + x = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 120° = 60°
∴ x = 60°
(iv) A circle with centre O and ∠CBD = 65°
But ∠ABC + ∠CBD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ ∠ABC + 65° = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180°-65°= 115°
Now arc AEC subtends ∠x at the centre and ∠ABC at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ABC
⇒ x = 2 x 115° = 230°
∴ x = 230°
(v) In circle with centre O
AB is chord of the circle, ∠OAB = 35°
In ∆OAB,
OA = OB (Radii of the circle)
∠OBA = ∠OAB = 35°
But in ∆OAB,
∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 35° + 35° + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ 70° + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 180°-70°= 110°
∴ Convex ∠AOB = 360° -110° = 250°
But arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.
∴∠ACB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠AOB
⇒ x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 250° = 125°
∴ x= 125°
(vi) In the circle with centre O,
BOC is its diameter, ∠AOB = 60°
Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre of the circle and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠ACB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠AOB
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 60° = 30°
But in ∆OAC,
OC = OA (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∠OAC = ∠OCA = ∠ACB
⇒ x = 30°
(vii) In the circle, ∠BAC and ∠BDC are in the same segment
∴ ∠BDC = ∠BAC = 50°
Now in ABCD,
∠DBC + ∠BCD + ∠BDC = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 70° + x + 50° = 180°
⇒ x + 120° = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 120° = 60°
∴ x = 60°
(viii) In circle with centre O,
∠OBD = 40°
AB and CD are diameters of the circle
∠DBA and ∠ACD are in the same segment
∴ ∠ACD = ∠DBA = 40°
In AOAC, OA = OC (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∠OAC = ∠OCA = 40°
and ∠OAC + ∠OCA + ∠AOC = 180° (Angles in a triangle)
⇒ 40° + 40° + x = 180°
⇒ x + 80° = 180° ⇒ x = 180° – 80° = 100°
∴ x = 100°
(ix) In the circle, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral ∠ADB = 32°, ∠DAC = 28° and ∠ABD = 50°
∠ABD and ∠ACD are in the same segment of a circle
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACD ⇒ ∠ACD = 50°
Similarly, ∠ADB = ∠ACB
⇒ ∠ACB = 32°
Now, ∠DCB = ∠ACD + ∠ACB
= 50° + 32° = 82°
∴ x = 82°
(x) In a circle,
∠BAC = 35°, ∠CBD = 65°
∠BAC and ∠BDC are in the same segment
∴ ∠BAC = ∠BDC = 35°
In ∆BCD,
∠BDC + ∠BCD + ∠CBD = 180° (Angles in a triangle)
⇒ 35° + x + 65° = 180°
⇒ x + 100° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 100° = 80°
∴ x = 80°
(xi) In the circle,
∠ABD and ∠ACD are in the same segment of a circle
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACD = 40°
Now in ∆CPD,
∠CPD + ∠PCD + ∠PDC = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
110° + 40° + x = 180°
⇒ x + 150° = 180°
∴ x= 180°- 150° = 30°
(xii) In the circle, two diameters AC and BD intersect each other at O
∠BAC = 50°
In ∆OAB,
OA = OB (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = 52°
⇒ ∠ABD = 52°
But ∠ABD and ∠ACD are in the same segment of the circle
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACD ⇒ 52° = x
∴ x = 52°

Question 4.
O is the circumcentre of the triangle ABC and OD is perpendicular on BC. Prove that ∠BOD = ∠A.
Solution:
Given : O is the circumcentre of ∆ABC.
OD ⊥ BC
OB is joined
To prove : ∠BOD = ∠A
Construction : Join OC.

Proof : Arc BC subtends ∠BOC at the centre and ∠BAC at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠BOC = 2∠A …(i)
In right ∆OBD and ∆OCD Side OD = OD (Common)
Hyp. OB = OC (Radii of the circle)
∴ ∆OBD ≅ ∆OCD (RHS criterion)
∴ ∠BOD = ∠COD = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠BOC
⇒ ∠BOC = 2∠BOD …(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
2∠BOD = 2∠A
∴∠BOD = ∠A

Question 5.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle, BO is the bisector of ∠ABC. Show that AB = BC.

Solution:
Given : In the figure, a circle with centre O OB is the bisector of ∠ABC
To prove : AB = BC
Construction : Draw OL ⊥ AB and OM ⊥ BC

Proof: In ∆OLB and ∆OMB,
∠1 = ∠2 (Given)
∠L = ∠M (Each = 90°)
OB = OB (Common)
∴ ∆OLB ≅ ∆OMB (AAS criterion)
∴ OL = OM (c.p.c.t.)
But these are distance from the centre and chords equidistant from the centre are equal
∴ Chord BA = BC
Hence AB = BC

Question 6.
In the figure, O and O’ are centres of two circles intersecting at B and C. ACD is a straight line, find x.

Solution:
In the figure, two circles with centres O and O’ intersect each other at B and C.
ACD is a line, ∠AOB = 130°
Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre O and ∠ACB at the remaining part of the circle.

∴ ∠ACB =\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)∠AOB
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 130° = 65°
But ∠ACB + ∠BCD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 65° + ∠BCD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180°-65°= 115°
Now, arc BD subtends reflex ∠BO’D at the centre and ∠BCD at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠BO’D = 2∠BCD = 2 x 115° = 230°
But ∠BO’D + reflex ∠BO’D = 360° (Angles at a point)
⇒ x + 230° = 360°
⇒ x = 360° -230°= 130°
Hence x = 130°

Question 7.
In the figure, if ∠ACB = 40°, ∠DPB = 120°, find ∠CBD.

Solution:
Arc AB subtend ∠ACB and ∠ADB in the same segment of a circle
∴ ∠ACB = ∠ADB = 40°
In ∆PDB,
∠DPB + ∠PBD + ∠ADB = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 120° + ∠PBD + 40° = 180°
⇒ 160° + ∠PBD = 180°
⇒ ∠PBD = 180° – 160° = 20°
⇒ ∠CBD = 20°

Question 8.
A chord of a circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Find the angle subtended by the chord at a point on the minor arc and also at a point on the major arc.
Solution:
A circle with centre O, a chord AB = radius of the circle C and D are points on the minor and major arcs of the circle

∴ ∠ACB and ∠ADB are formed Now in ∆AOB,
OA = OB = AB (∵ AB = radii of the circle)
∴ ∆AOB is an equilateral triangle,
∴ ∠AOB = 60°
Now arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠ADB at the remainder part of the circle.
∴ ∠ADB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠AOB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)x 60° = 30°
Now ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral,
∴ ∠ADB + ∠ACB = 180° (Sum of opposite angles of cyclic quad.)
⇒ 30° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 30° = 150°
∴ ∠ACB = 150°
Hence angles are 150° and 30°

Question 9.
In the figure, it is given that O is the centre of the circle and ∠AOC = 150°. Find ∠ABC.

Solution:
In circle with centre O and ∠AOC = 150°
But ∠AOC + reflex ∠AOC = 360°
∴ 150° + reflex ∠AOC = 360°
⇒ Reflex ∠AOC = 360° – 150° = 210°
Now arc AEC subtends ∠AOC at the centre and ∠ABC at the remaining part of the circle.

Reflex ∠AOC = 2∠ABC
⇒ 210° = 2∠ABC
∴ ∠ABC = \(\frac { { 210 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 }\)  = 105°

Question 10.
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle, prove that ∠x = ∠y + ∠z.
Solution:
Given : In circle, O is centre

To prove : ∠x = ∠y + ∠z
Proof : ∵ ∠3 and ∠4 are in the same segment of the circle
∴ ∠3 = ∠4 …(i)
∵ Arc AB subtends ∠AOB at the centre and ∠3 at the remaining part of the circle
∴ ∠x = 2∠3 = ∠3 + ∠3 = ∠3 + ∠4 (∵ ∠3 = ∠4) …(ii)
In ∆ACE,
Ext. ∠y = ∠3 + ∠1
(Ext. is equal to sum of its interior opposite angles)
⇒ ∠3 – ∠y – ∠1 …(ii)
From (i) and (ii),
∠x = ∠y – ∠1 + ∠4 …(iii)
Similarly in ∆ADF,
Ext. ∠4 = ∠1 + ∠z …(iv)
From (iii) and (iv)
∠x = ∠y-∠l + (∠1 + ∠z)
= ∠y – ∠1 + ∠1 + ∠z = ∠y + ∠z
Hence ∠x = ∠y + ∠z

Question 11.
In the figure, O is the centre of a circle and PQ is a diameter. If ∠ROS = 40°, find ∠RTS.

Solution:
In the figure, O is the centre of the circle,
PQ is the diameter and ∠ROS = 40°
Now we have to find ∠RTS
Arc RS subtends ∠ROS at the centre and ∠RQS at the remaining part of the circle

∴ ∠RQS = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) ∠ROS
= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) x 40° = 20°
∵ ∠PRQ = 90° (Angle in a semi circle)
∴ ∠QRT = 180° – 90° = 90° (∵ PRT is a straight line)
Now in ∆RQT,
∠RQT + ∠QRT + ∠RTQ = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 20° + 90° + ∠RTQ = 180°
⇒ ∠RTQ = 180° – 20° – 90° = 70° or ∠RTS = 70°
Hence ∠RTS = 70°
