VERY SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS circle can have on a diameter?

Ans : [Board Term-2, 2012 Set (34)]
1. In the given figure, AOB is a diameter of the circle
with centre O and AC is a tangent to the circle at A Tangent touches a circle on a distinct point. Thus on
. If +BOC = 130° , the find +ACO. the diameter of a circle only two parallel tangents can
be drawn. It has been shown in figure given below.
4. In figure, PA and PB are tangents to the circle with

centre O such that +APB = 50º. Write the measure
of +OAB.
Ans : [Foreign Set I, II, III, 2016]

Here OA is radius and AC is tangent at A, since
radius is always perpendicular to tangent, we have
+OAC = 90º
From exterior angle property,
+BOC = OAC + +ACO
130º = 90° + +ACO Ans : [Delhi CBSE Board, 2015, Set I, II, III]
+ACO 130º - 90º = 40º
We have +APB = 50º
2. From an external point P , tangents PA and PB are
+PAB = +PBA = 180º - 50º = 65º
drawn to a circle with centre O. If +PAB = 50º, then 2
find +AOB. Here OA is radius and AP is tangent at A, since
Ans : [Delhi Set I, II, III, 2016] radius is always perpendicular to tangent at point of
contact, we have
As per the given question we draw the figure as below.
+OAP = 90º
Now +OAB = +OAP - +PAB
= 90º - 65º = 25º
5. In the given figure, PQ and PR are tangents to the

circle with centre O such that +QPR = 50º, Then
find +OQR.
Since PA = OA , +OAP = 90c

+OAB = +OAP - +BAP
= 90º - 50º = 40º
Since OA and OB are radii, we have
+OAB = +OBA = 40º
Now
+AOB + +OAB + +OBA = 180º
Ans : [Board Term-2, 2012 ] ,Delhi CBSE Term II, 2015 Set I, II,
+AOB + 40º + 40º = 180º III]
+AOB = 180º - 80º = 100º
We have +QPR = +50º (Given)
Hence +AOB = 100º
Since +QOR and +QPR are supplementary angles

2 OP
= 180º - 50º = 130º
From TOQR we have or OP = 2a
+OQR = +ORQ = 180º - 130º 8. If a circle can be inscribed in a parallelogram how will

O. If +QPR = 46º then find +QOR . 9. Two concentric circles are of radii 5 cm and 3 cm.
Find the length of the chord of larger circle (In cm)
which touches the smaller circle.
Ans : [Delhi, CBSE, Term-2, 2014]
We have +QPR = 46º

Since +QOR and +QPR are supplementary angles
+QOR + +QPR = 180º
+QOR + 46º = 180º Here AB is the chord of large circle which touch
the smaller circle at point C . We can see easliy that
+QOR = 180º - 46º = 134º TAOC is right angled triangle.
7. If the angle between two tangents drawn from an Here, AO = 5 cm, OC = 3 cm

Ans : [Delhi, Set 2014], [Board Term-2, 2012 Set (44)]

Here OA is radius and AP is tangent at A, since Ans : [Board Term-2, 2012 Set (26)]
radius is always perpendicular to tangent at point of
contact, we have We have +RPQ = 50c
+OAP = 90º Since +OPQ + +QPQ is right angle triangle,
Due to symmetry we have +OPQ = 90c - 50c = 40c
Since, OP = OQ because of radii of circle, we have
+AOP = +AOB = 120c = 60c
2 2 +OPQ = +OQR = 40c
Now in right TAOP we have In DPOQ we have
+APO + +OAP + +AOP = 180c +POQ = 180c - ^40c + 40ch
+APO + 90c + 60c = 180c = 100c
+APO = 180c - 150c = 30c. NO NEED TO PURCHASE ANY BOOKS

Ans : [Board Term II, 2012 Set (22)]
intersection point of tangent is always 180c.
Sum of the angles between radii and between
Thus +ROQ + +RPQ = 180c
intersection point of tangent is always 180c.
Thus angle at the point of intersection of tangents +ROQ = 180c - 60c = 120c
We know that angle subtended on the centre of a

18. Two tangents making an angle af 60c between them

are drawn to a circle of radius 3 cm, then find the
length of each tangent.
Ans : [Board, Term-2, 2013]
Since AF and AE are tangent of the circle, AF = AE

Thus AF = AE = 7 cm
Now BF = AB - AF = 13 - 7 = 6 cm
Since BF and BD are tangent of the circle, BF = BD
Since, tan q = Altitude Thus BD = BF = 6 cm
Base
Now CD = BC - BD = 14 - 6 = 8 cm
So. tan 30c = OA
AP Since CD and CE are tangent of the circle, CD = CE
1 = 3 Thus CE = CD = 8 cm
3 AP
Now AC = AE + EC
AP = 3 # 3 = 3 cm.
= 7 + 8 = 15 cm.
22. In given figure, if AT is a tangent to the circle with Ans : [Delhi Compt. Set I, II, III 2017]

Since PQ and PR are tangent of the circle, PQ = PR
then find the length of AT (in cm).
PQ = PR = 5 cm
Since PS is chord of circle and point Q bisect it, thus
PQ = QS
PS = 2PQ
= 2 # 5 = 10 cm
25. PQ is a tangent drawn from an external point P to a

circle with centre O , QOR is the diameter of the circle.
If +POR = 120c, What is the measure of +OPQ ?

Since AT is a tangent to the circle, DOAT is right
angle triangle
Now cos 30c = AT cos q = Base
OT Hypotenuse
AT = OT cos 30c
or, AT = 4 # 3 = 2 3 cm.

the tangent to the circle at the point A, find +BAT .
In TOQP +POR = +OQP + +OPQ
(Exterior angle)
Thus +OPQ = +POR - +OQP
= 120c - 90c = 30c
26. In figure, O is the centre of the circle, PQ is a chord

and PT is tangent to the circle at P .
We have +ACB = 50c

Since +CBA is angle in semi-circle.
+CBA = 90c
Now +OAB = 180c - 90c - 50c = 40c
+BAT = 90c - +OAB
= 90c - 40c = 50c

16. If the angel between two radii of a circle is 130c, then

18. Two tangents making an angle af 60c between them

Ans : [Board Term-2, 2012 Set (26)]

Since AF and AE are tangent of the circle, AF = AE

25. PQ is a tangent drawn from an external point P to a

Ans : [Board Term-2, 2012 Set (13)]

26. In figure, O is the centre of the circle, PQ is a chord

Ans : [Board Term-2, 2012 Set (32)]

We have +ACB = 50c

Thus TPQ = 90c - 55c = 35c

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS - I

Ans : [Foreign Set I, II, III, 2016]

Given that +SPT = 120c

4. In figure, AP and BP are tangents to a circle with

We join OA, OB and OP .

Since OP is radius and APB is tangent, OP = AB .

Ans : [Board Term-2, 2015 Set I, II, III]

We have +AOQ = 58c

Since PQ = OP = OQ , triangle TPQO is an +ABQ = 1 +AOQ

+ABQ = +ABT 54 = 12 # 3 # (30 + 2x)

+ATB = 90c - +ABT or x =3
