Questions and Answers

Q 1 - On which pivot does the point (6, 0) lies?

A - x-pivot

B - y-hub

C - xy-pivot

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

The point lies on (6, 0) lies on x-axis.

Q 2 - The separation of the point A (- 5, 0) from the beginning is:

A - 5 units

B - √10 units

C - √ 5 units

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

OA = √ (0+5)2+ (0+0)2   = √ 25     = 5 unit.

Q 3 - The focuses A (0,6),B(- 5,3) and C(3,1) are the vertices of a triangle which is:

A - Isosceles

B - equilateral

C - scalene

D - right calculated

Answer : A

Explanation

AB2= (-5-0) 2+ (3-6) 2= (-5) 2+ (-3) 2= (25+9) = 34
BC2= (3+5) 2+ (1-3) 2= (8) 2+ (-2) 2= 64+4 = 68
AC2= (3-0) 2+ (1-6) 2= (3) 2+ (-5) 2= 9+25 = 34
∴ AB= AC. Hence, ∆ABC is isosceles.

Q 4 - The focuses A (1,- 3) ,B(13,9) ,C(10,12) and D(- 2,0) taken all together are the vertices of :

A - A rectangle

B - a rhombus

C - a square

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

vertices
AB2= (13-1) 2+ (9+3) 2= (144+144) = 288.
BC2= (10-13) 2+ (12-9) 2= (9+9) = 18
CD2= ((10+2) 2+ (12-0) 2= (144+144) = 288
AD2= (-2-1) 2+ (0+3) 2= (9+9) = 18
∴ ab= cd and BC= AD
Diag AC2= (10-1) 2+ (12+3) 2= (81+225) = 306
Diag BD2= (-2-13) 2+ (0-9) 2= (225+81) = 306
∴Diag AC= Diag BD
∴ ABCD is a rectangle.

Q 5 - The vertices of a triangle are A (3, 8), B (- 4, 2) and C (5, - 1). The region of ∆ ABC is:

A - 57/2 sq. unit

B - 75/2 sq. unit

C - 57 sq. unit

D - 75 q. units

Answer : B

Explanation

Here x₁=3, x₂= -4, Xᴈ = 5, y₁ =8, y₂= 2 and Yᴈ = -1
 ∆ = 1/2 [x₁(y₂-Yᴈ) +x₂(Yᴈ-y₁) +Xᴈ (y₁-y₂)]
 =1/2 [3(2+1)-4(-1-8) +5(8-2)] = 1/2 (9+36+30) = 75/2 sq.unit.

Q 6 - Two vertices of a ∆ ABC are B (- 3, 1) and C (0, - 2) and its centroid is at the inception. The Third vertex A is:

A - (3, 1)

B - (2, 3)

C - (- 1, 2)

D - (- 2, 3)

Answer : A

Explanation

  Let the vertex A be (a, b). Then,
 1/3 (-3+0+a) =0 and 1/3 (1-2+b) =0
 = -3 +a =0 and -1 +b=0 ⇒ a=3 and b= 1
 ∴ Vertex A is A (3, 1)

Q 7 - The slop of a flat line is

A - 0

B - 1

C - -1

D - none of these

Answer : A

Explanation

The slop of a horizontal line is m= tan ℴ =0

Q 8 - A line goes through the focuses A (- 2, 3) and B (- 6, 5). The slop of line AB is

A - - 1/2

B - 1/2

C - 3/4

D - -1

Answer : A

Explanation

  Slop = (y₁ ?y₂)/( x₁-x₂) = (5-3)/(-6+2) = 2/-4 =-1/2

Q 9 - The mathematical statement of a line going through the focuses A(- 1,1) and B(2,- 4) is:

A - 3x+5y+2 = o

B - 5x+3y+2 =0

C - 2x+3y+5 =0

D - none of these

Answer : B

Explanation

The equation of the line is (y-y₁)/(x-x₁) =
 (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)
 i.e., (y-1)/(x+1) = -4-1/2+1 ⇒ (y-1)/(x+1) = -5/3
 ⇒ 3y-3= -5x-5 ⇒ 5x+3y+2 = 0

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.
