Question 3.
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and CD = DE = EF = FG. ∠COD = 40°, then ∠COG is equal to

(a) 160°
(b) 200°
(c) 240°
(d) 280°
Answer:
(b) 200°
Explanation:
Since equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.
∴ ∠COD = ∠DOE = ∠EOF
= ∠FOG = 40°
∴ ∠COG = 4 × 40° = 160°
∴ Reflex ∠COG = 360° – ∠COG
= 360° – 160° = 200°
Question 4.
In the given figure, if OA = 10 cm, AB = 12 cm and OD ⊥ AB, find CD.

(a) 2 cm
(b) 3 cm
(c) 4 cm
(d) 6 cm
Answer:
(a) 2 cm
Explanation:
Since, OD ⊥ AB,
AC = BC = 6 cm
[∵ perpendicular drawn from the centre of a circle bisects the chord]
and ∠OCA = 90° and OA = 10 cm
Thus, OA2 = AC2 + OC2
[by Pythagoras’ theorem]
⇒ 102 = 62 + OC2
⇒ OC2 = 100 – 36 = 64
⇒ OC = 8cm
Since OD = OA [∵ radii of the same circle]
OD = 10 cm
Thus, CD = OD – OC
= 10 – 8
= 2 cm
Question 5.
In the given figure, OD is perpendicular to the chord AB of a circle, whose centre is O. If BC is a diameter and OD = 4 cm, then A equals

(a) 6 cm
(b) 8 cm
(c) 10 cm
(d) 12 cm
Answer:
(b) 8 cm
Explanation:
Since OD ⊥ AB and the perpendicular drawn from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.
∴ D is the mid-point of AB.
Also, O being the centre, is the mid-point of BC.
Thus, in ΔABC, D and O are mid-points of AB and BC, respectively.
∴ OD ∥ AC and OD = \(\frac{1}{2}\)CA
[by mid-point theorem]
⇒ CA = 2OD = 2 × 4 = 8 cm
Question 6.
In the given figure, a line intersects two concentric circles with centre O at A, B, C and D. If AB = 10 cm, find CD.

(a) 5 cm
(b) 10 cm
(c) 15 cm
(d) 20 cm
Answer:
(b) 10 cm
Explanation:
Let OP be perpendicular from O on the line
∴ AP = DP and BP = CP

[∵ perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord]
⇒ AB = CD
CD = 10 cm
Question 7.
In the given figure, OA and OB are respectively perpendiculars to chords CD and EF of a circle, whose centre is O. If OA = OB, then

(a) CE = DF
(b) CE > DF
(c) CE < DF
(d) None of these
Answer:
(a) CE = DF
Explanation:
We have OA ⊥ CD and OB ⊥ EF
OA = OB
⇒ Chords CD and EF are equidistant from O.
⇒ CD = EF
[Y chords equidistant from the centre of a circle are equal in length]
⇒ arc CD = arc EF
On subtracting arc ED (or ED) from both sides, we get

Question 8.
In the given figure, if ∠ABC = 20°, then ∠AOC is equal to

(a) 20°
(b) 40°
(c) 60°
(d) 10°
Answer:
(b) 40°
Explanation:
Given, ∠ABC = 20°
We know that the angle subtended at the centre by an arc is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ABC = 2 × 200 = 400
Question 9.
In the given figure. if ∠AOR = 120°, then find the value of ∠ACB.

(a) 100°
(b) 110°
(c) 130°
(d) 120°
Answer:
(d) 120°
Explanation:
Reflex ∠AOB =360° -120° =240°
∴ ∠ACB = \(\frac{1}{2}\) reflex ∠AOB
[Y 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 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 240° = 120°
Question 10.
In the given figure, if ∠DAB = 60°, ∠ABD = 50° then ∠ACB is equal to

(a) 60°
(b) 50°
(c) 70°
(d) 80°
Answer:
(c) 70°
Explanation:
Given, ∠DAB = 60° and ∠ABD = 50°
Now, ∠ADB = ∠ACB …(i)
[∵ angles in the same segment of a circle are equal]
In ΔABD, ∠ABD + ∠ADB + ∠DAB = 180°
[by angle sum property of a triangle]
50° + ∠ADB + 60° = 180°
⇒ ∠ADB = 180° – 110°
⇒ ∠ADB = 70°
From Eq. (i), ∠ACB = ∠ADB = 70°
Question 11.
In the given figure, BC is a diameter of the circle and ∠BAO = 60°. Then, ∠ADC is equal to

(a) 30°
(b) 45°
(c) 60°
(d) 120°
Answer:
(c) 60°
Explanation:
In ΔAOB, OA = OB
[∵ Both are the radii of the circle]
⇒ ∠OBA = ∠BAO
[∵ angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
⇒ ∠OBA = 60° [∵ ∠BAO = 60°, given]
We know that ∠ABC = ∠ADC
angles in the same segment AC are equal]
∠ADC = 60°
Question 12.
In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and chord AC and BD intersect at Q such that ∠AQB = 140° and ∠QBC = 25°. Find the value of ∠ADB.

(a) 105°
(b) 140°
(c) 115°
(d) 135°
Answer:
(c) 115°
Explanation:
∠AQB = ∠QCB + ∠CBQ [exterior angle property]
⇒ 140° = ∠QCB + 25°
⇒ ∠QCB = 140° – 25° = 115°
or ∠ACB = 115°
∴ ∠ADB = ∠ACB = 115°
[∵ angles in same segment of a circle are equal]
Question 13.
In the given figure, ∠ABC = 59°, ∠ACB = 40°, find ∠BDC.

(a) 99°
(b) 90°
(c) 81°
(d) 71°
Answer:
(c) 81°
Explanation:
In ΔABC,
∠ABC + ∠BAC + ∠ACB = 180° [by angle sum property of triangle]
⇒ 59° + ∠BAC + 40° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° – 59° – 40°
= 180° – 99° = 81°
∴ ∠BDC = ∠BAC = 81° [∵ angles in same segment of a circle are equal]
Question 14.
In the given figure, if AOB is a diameter of the circle and AC = BC, then ∠CAB is equal to

(a) 30°
(b) 60°
(c) 90°
(d) 45°
Answer:
(d) 45°
Explanation:
We know that a diameter subtends a right angle at the circle.
∠BCA = 90° …(i)
Given, AC = BC
∠ABC = ∠CAB …(ii)
[∵ angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]
In ΔABC,
∠CAB + ∠ABC + ∠BCA = 180° [by angle sum property of a triangle]
⇒ ∠CAB + ∠CAB + 90° = 180° [from (i) and (ii)]
⇒ 2∠CAB = 180° – 90°
⇒ ∠CAB = 45°
Question 15.

I’m Up and Down and Round and Round Class 9 Assertion and Reason Questions
Direction (Q. Nos. 1-9): In the questions given below, there are two statements marked as Assertion (A) and Reason (R).
Read the statements and choose the correct option.
Question 1.
Assertion (A): The length of a chord which is at a distance of 5 cm from the centre of a circle of radius 10 cm is 17.32 cm.
Reason (R) The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Answer:
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Let PQ be a chord of a circle with centre O and radius 10 cm. Draw OR ⊥ PQ.

Now, OP = 10 cm and OR = 5 cm
In right-angled ΔORP, we get
OP2 = PR2 + OR2
⇒ PR2 = OP2 – OR2
⇒ PR2 =102 – 52 = 75
⇒ PR = \(\sqrt{75}\) = 8.66 cm
Since the perpendicular from the centre to a chord bisects the chord.
Therefore, PQ = 2 × PR = 2 × 8.66 = 17.32 cm
So, Assertion is true.
Also, Reason is true, and it is the correct explanation of Assertion.
Question 2.
Assertion (A): Two diameters of a circle intersect each other at right angles. Then, the quadrilateral formed by joining their end-point is a rectangle.
Reason (R): Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Answer:
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Let AB and CD be two perpendicular diameters of a circle with centre O.

In ΔAOC and ΔBOC, we have
OA = OB [radii of the same circle]
∠AOC = ∠BOC [each equal to 90°)
and OC = OC (common]
∴ ΔAOC ≅ ΔBOC [by SAS congruence rule]
⇒ AC = BC [by CPCT]
Also, ∠ACB = 90° [angle in a semi-circle is a right angle]
Similarly, we get
BC = BDand ∠CBD = 90°
DB = DA and ∠BDA = 90°
Hence, ACBD is a square.
It implies that ACBD is a rectangle.
So, Assertion is true.
Also, Reason is true, but it is not necessary that
Reason is the correct explanation.

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Answer:
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation:
∠ECB = ∠EAD
[∵ exterior angle in a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle]
Assertion is false, but Reason is true.
Question 4.
Assertion (A): If two chords subtend equal angles at the centre, then they must be parallel.
Reason (R): Equal central angles imply equal chord lengths.

(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Answer:
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Question 5.

Reason (R): The centre of a circle is equidistant from every point on the circle.
(A) Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Answer:
(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
Question 6.
Assertion (A): Of two chords of a circle, the longer chord is farther from the centre.
Reason (R): If the length of a chord is given by \(2 \sqrt{r^2-d^2}\), where r is the radius of the circle and d is the perpendicular distance of the chord from the centre, then a larger d gives a smaller chord length.
(A) Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Answer:
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Explanation:
Assertion (A) is false because the longer chord is closer to the centre, not farther.
Reason (R) is true because it correctly explains that a larger perpendicular distance from the centre gives a smaller chord length.
Question 7.
Assertion (A): Ramesh drew two circles intersecting at two points B and C. Through B, he drew two line segments ABD and PBQ to intersect the circles at A, D and P, Q respectively. As shown in the figure. He concluded that ∠ACP = ∠QCD.

Reason (R): 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.
(A) Both (A) and (R) are true, and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
(C) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
(D) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
Answer:
(B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
Explanation:
Construction: Join chords AP and DQ.

For chord AP, ∠PBA = ∠ACP …(i) [Angles in the same segment]
For chord DQ, ∠DBQ = ∠QCD …(ii) [Angles in the same segment]
But ∠PBA = ∠DBQ [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠ACP = ∠QCD [From (i) and (ii)]
