ML Aggarwal Solution Class 9 Chapter 15 Circle MCQs
MCQs
Question 1
If P and Q are any two points on a circle, then the line segment PQ is called a
(a) radius of the circle
(b) diameter of the circle
(c) chord of the circle
(d) secant of the circle
Sol :
chord of the circle (c)
Question 2
If P is a point in the interior of a circle with centre O and radius r, then
(a) OP = r
(b) OP > r
(c) OP ≥ r
(d) OP < r
Sol :
OP > r (b)
Question 3
The circumference of a circle must be
(a) a positive real number
(b) a whole number
(c) a natural number
(d) an integer
Sol :
A positive real number (a)
Question 4
AD is a diameter of a circle and AB is a chord. If AD = 34 cm and AB = 30 cm, then the distance of AB from the centre of circle is
(a) 17 cm
(b) 15 cm
(c) 4 cm
(d) 8 cm
Sol :
AD is the diameter of the circle whose length is AD=34 cm
AB is the chord of the circle whose length is AB=30 cm
Distance of the chord from the centre is OM
Since the line through the centre of the chord of the circle is the perpendicular bisector,
We have ∠OMA=90°
and AM=BM
Thus, ΔAMO is a right angled triangle
Now, by applying Pythagoras theorem
⇒OA2=AM2+OM2...(i)
Since the diameter AD=34 cm, radius of the circle is 17 cm
∴OA=17 cm
Since AM=BM and AB=30 cm
∴We have AM=BM=15 cm
We have, OA2=AM2+OM2
⇒(17)2=(15)2+OM2
⇒OM2=289-225
⇒OM2-64
⇒OM=√64=8
Ans (d)
Question 5
If AB = 12 cm, BC = 16 cm and AB is perpendicular to BC, then the radius of the circle passing through the points A, B and C is
(a) 6 cm
(b) 8 cm
(c) 10 cm
(d) 12 cm
⇒Every angle inscribed in a semicircle is a right angle
⇒Since the inscribed angle
⇒∠ABC=90° , the arc ABC is a semicircle
⇒Thus , AC is the diameter of the circle passing through the centre
⇒Now by Pythagoras theorem
⇒AC2=AB2+BC2
=122+162
=14+256=400
⇒AC=∠400=20 cm
∴Diameter of the circle is 20 cm
Thus, the radius of the circle passing through
A,B and C is 10 cm
Ans (c)
Question 6
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle. If OA = 5 cm, AB = 8 cm and OD ⊥ AB, then length of CD is equal to
(a) 2 cm
(b) 3 cm
(c) 4 cm
(d) 5 cm
$=\sqrt{25-16}=\sqrt{9}$ cm
=3 cm
Sicne , OD=OA=5 cm
∴CD=OD-OC=5-3 cm=2 cm
Ans (a)
