Questions and Answers

Q 1 - In which quadrant does the point (- 3, - 5) lies?

A - First

B - second

C - third

D - fourth

Answer : C

Explanation

The point (-3,-5) lies in 3rd quadrant

Q 2 - On which pivot does the point (0, - 5) lies?

A - x-pivot

B - y-hub

C - xy-pivot

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

The point (0,-5) lies on y axis. 

Q 3 - A will be a point on y-pivot at a separation of 4unit from y-hub lying underneath x-hub. The co-ordinates of an are:

A - (4, 0)

B - (0, 4)

C - (- 4, 0)

D - (0, - 4)

Answer : D

Explanation

Clearly, The co- ordinates Of A are A (0,-4).

Q 4 - The focuses A (1,2) ,B(5,4) ,C(3,8) and D(- 1,6) taken all together are the vertices of

A - A rectangle

B - a rhombus

C - a square

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

vertices
AB2= (5-1) 2+ (4-2) 2= (16+4) = 20
BC2= (3-5) 2+ (8-4) 2= (4+16) = 20
CD2= (-1-3) 2+ (6-8) 2= (16+4) = 20
DA2= (1+1) 2+ (2-6) 2= (4+16)=20
∴ AB= BC= CD= DA= √20
Diagonal AC2= (3-1) 2+ (8-2) 2= (4+36) = 40
Diagonal BD2= (-1-5) 2+ (6-4) 2= (36+4) = 40
∴ Diag AC= Diag BD =√40
∴ ABCD is a square.

Q 5 - The vertices of a ∆ ABC are A (- 3, 0), B (5, - 2) and C (- 8, 5). The centroid of ∆ABC is:

A - (- 1,2)

B - (- 2,1)

C - 1,2

D - (2,- 1)

Answer : B

Explanation

Centroid = {1/3 (x₁ +x₂+Xᴈ), 1/3
 (y₁+y₂+yᴈ)} = {1/3(-3+5-8), 1/3 (0-2+5)}
 = (-2, 1)

Q 6 - The end purposes of a line section AB are A (- 5, 4) and B (7, - 8). Its mid point is:

A - C (1, - 2)

B - C (2, - 1)

C - C (2, - 3)

D - C (2, - 2)

Answer : A

Explanation

Mid point is C = [(-5+7/2), (4-8/2), i.e. (1,-2)

Q 7 - x-pivot partitions the join of A (2, 3) and B (5, 6) in the proportion

A - 1:2

B - 2:1

C - 3:5

D - 2:3

Answer : A

Explanation

Let the required ratio be ℏ:1. Then, its co- ordinates are (5ℏ+2/ ℏ+1, 6ℏ-3/ℏ+1)
 But, it lies on x-axis. So, its ordinate is 0.
 ∴ 6ℏ-3/ℏ+1 =0 ⇒ 6ℏ-3 =0 ⇒ ℏ=1/2
 Required ratio is 1/2:1 i.e., 1:2

Q 8 - The slop of a line going through the focuses A (4, 3) and B (6, 3) is:

A - 2

B - ∞

C - 0

D - none of these

Answer : C

Explanation

Slop = (y₁ ?y₂)/( x₁-x₂) = (-3+3)/(6-4) =0/2 =0

Q 9 - On the off chance that the slant of a line joining the focuses A(x,- 3) and B(2,5) is 135⁰ then x=?

A - 5

B - -5

C - 8

D - 10

Answer : D

Explanation

Slop of AB = (5+3)/(2-x) =8/2-x
 ∴ 8/2-x = tan135⁰ = tan (180⁰- 45⁰) = -tan 45⁰ =-1 
8/2-x = -1 ⇒8 = x-2 ⇒ x= 10

Q 10 - The lines x+2y-9 =0 and 3x+6y+8 =0 are commonly.

A - Parallel

B - opposite

C - equal

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

x+2y-9 =0 ⇒ 2y = -x+9 ⇒ y= -x/2+9/2 
 3x+6y+8 =0 ⇒ 6y= -3x-8 ⇒ y=-x/2 -4/3
 ∴ m₁: m₂ = -1/2 
 Hence, the given lines are parallel.
