Question 1021 Mark
Answer
  1. 35º, 100º, 105º, 120º
    Solution:
    given: $\angle\text{A}+ \angle\text{C}=140^\circ$
    and $\angle\text{A}:\angle\text{C} = 1:3$
    and $\angle\text{B}:\angle\text{D} = 5:6$
    $⇒ \angle\text{A}= \frac{1}{4} \times 140^\circ - 35^\circ$
    $⇒ \angle\text{C}= \frac{3}{4} \times 140^\circ - 105^\circ$
    Now according to angle sum property of quadrilateral
    $\angle\text{A} +\angle\text{B}+ \angle\text{C}+ \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
    $\Rightarrow 35^\circ+ \angle\text{B}+ 105^\circ +\angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
    $\Rightarrow \angle\text{B}+ \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ - 140^\circ = 220^\circ$
    $\Rightarrow 5\text{x} + 6\text{x} = 220^\circ$
    $\Rightarrow\text{x}=20^\circ$
    So, $\angle\text{B} = 5 \times 20^\circ = 100^\circ$
    and $\angle\text{D} = 6 \times 20^\circ = 120^\circ$

Question 1041 Mark
In each of the questions one question is followed by two statements I and II. Choose the correct option.
Is quadrilateral ABCD a parallelogram?
  1. Diagonals AC and BD bisect each other.
  2. Diagonals AC and BD are equal.
Answer
  1. If the question can be answered by one of the given statements alone and not by the other.
    Solution:
    Here, as we know that if the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisects each other, then it is a parallelogram.
    But as per II, if the diagonals of a quadrilateral are equal, then it is not necessarily a parallelogram which is not true. Thus, II does not give the answer.
    So the question can be answered by the one of the given statement alone and not by the other.

Question 1051 Mark
The angle between two altitudes of a Parallelogram through the vertex of an obtuse angle of the Parallelogram of 60º. Find the angles of the Parallelogram?
Answer
  1. 120º, 60º, 120º, 60º
    Solution:
    Let ABCD be a parallelogram and AP and CQ are the altitudes drawn from vertex A on sides DC and BC.
    In quadrilateral APCQ, sum of the all angles= 360º
    So, $60^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle\text{C} + 90^\circ = 360^\circ$
    $\angle\text{C} = 360^\circ - 240^\circ = 120^\circ$
    $\angle\text{C} + \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ$ (co-interior angles)
    $\angle\text{B} = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$
    In parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
    So, $\angle\text{A} = \angle\text{C} = 120^\circ$ and $\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{D} = 60^\circ$

Question 1071 Mark
Answer
  1. x = 55º and y = 110º
    Solution:

Question 1151 Mark
Answer
  1. x = 30º and y = 95º
    Solution:
    Given, ABCD is a parallelogram.
    So,
    $\angle\text{A} = \angle\text{C}$ (Opposite angles of parallelogram are equal in size)
    ⇒ 3x − 20 = x + 40
    ⇒ 3x − x = 40 + 20
    ⇒ 2x = 60
    ⇒ x = 30°
    Thus, $\angle\text{A} = 3 × 30 − 20 = 90 − 20 = 70^\circ$
    Now, $\angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ$ (Sum of interior angles of parallelogram is 180º)
    $⇒ 70^\circ + \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ$
    $⇒ \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ − 70^\circ$
    $⇒\angle\text{B} = 110^\circ$
    $⇒ \text{y} + 15 = 110^\circ$
    $⇒ \text{y} = 95^\circ$
    Hence, x = 30° and y = 95°

Answer
  1. 120º, 60º, 120º, 60º
    Solution:
    Let ABCD be a parallelogram and AP and CQ are the altitudes drawn from vertex A on sides DC and BC.
    In quadrilateral APCQ, sum of the all angles = 360º
    So, $60^\circ + 90^\circ + \angle\text{C} + 90^\circ = 360^\circ$
    $\angle\text{C} = 360^\circ - 240^\circ = 120^\circ$
    $\angle\text{C} + \angle\text{B} = 180^\circ$ (co-interior angles)
    $\angle\text{B} = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$
    In parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
    So, $\angle\text{A} = \angle\text{C} = 120^\circ$ and $\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{D} = 60^\circ$

    Let ABCD be a quadrilateral with $\angle\text{A} = 3\text{x},\ \angle\text{B} = 4\text{x} ,\ \angle\text{C} = 4\text{x}$ and $\angle\text{D} = 7\text{x}$
    $\angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} + \angle\text{C} + \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$ (angle sum property)
    $3\text{x} + 4\text{x} + 4\text{x} + 7\text{x} = 360^\circ$
    $18\text{x} = 360^\circ$
    $\text{x} = 20^\circ$
    $\angle\text{A} = 3 (20^\circ) = 60^\circ$
    $\angle\text{B} = \angle\text{C} = 4 (20^\circ) = 80^\circ$

Question 1241 Mark
In the given figure, $\text{ABCD}$ is a Rectangle. Find the values of $x$ and $y$?
Answer
Given $\angle\text{AOB}=110^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle\text{DOC}=110^\circ$ vertically opposite angles
$\triangle\text{DOC}$ we have:
$DO = OC$
Now, $\angle\text{ODC} = \angle\text{OCD} = \text{y}$
now in $\triangle\text{ODC}$
$y + y + 110^\circ = 180^\circ ($angle sum property of triangle$)$
$\Rightarrow 2y = 180^\circ - 110^\circ = 70^\circ$
$\Rightarrow y = 35^\circ$
Also$, x = 90^\circ – y$
$x = 90^\circ – 35^\circ = 55^\circ$
Hence,$ x = 55^\circ$ and $y = 35^\circ$

Question 1251 Mark
Answer
  1. 45º
    Solution:
    It is given in the question that,
    In parallelogram ABCD: $\angle\text{BAD} = 75^\circ, \ \angle\text{CBD} = 60^\circ$
    Now, $\angle\text{DAB} = \angle\text{DCB} = 75^\circ$ (Opposite angles)
    Also, in triangle DBC we know that sum of angles of a triangle is 180º
    $\angle\text{DBC} + \angle\text{BDC} + \angle\text{DCB} = 180^\circ$
    $60^\circ + \angle\text{BDC} + 75^\circ= 180^\circ$
    $135^\circ + \angle\text{BDC} = 180^\circ$
    $\angle\text{BDC} = 180^\circ – 135^\circ$
    $\angle\text{BDC} = 45^\circ$
    Hence, 45º is correct.

Question 1291 Mark
In a quadrilateral ABCD, AO and BO are the bisectors of $\angle\text{A}$ and $\angle\text{B}$ respectively, $\angle\text{C} = 70^\circ$ and $\angle\text{D} = 30^\circ.$ Then, $\angle\text{AOB} =\ ?$
Answer
  1. 50º
    Solution:
    It is given in the question that, ABCD is a quadrilateral where AO and BO are the bisectors of $\angle\text{A}$ and $\angle\text{B}.$
    We know that, sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is equal to 360º
    $∴ \angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} + \angle\text{C} + \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
    $\angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} + 70^\circ + 30^\circ = 360^\circ$
    $\angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} = 360^\circ - 100^\circ$
    $\angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} = 260^\circ$
    $=\frac{1}{2}(\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B})=\frac{1}{2}\times260^\circ$
    $=\frac{1}{2}(\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B})=160^\circ$
    Now, in triangle AOB
    $=\frac{1}{2}(\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B})+\angle\text{AOB}=160^\circ$
    $130^\circ + \angle\text{AOB} = 180^\circ$
    $\angle\text{AOB} = 180^\circ - 130^\circ$
    $\angle\text{AOB} = 50^\circ$

Question 1341 Mark
Answer
  1. x = 55º and y = 110º
    Solution:
    ABCD is a rectangle

Question 1381 Mark
The figure formed by joining the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral ABCD, taken in order, is a square, only if:
Answer
  1. Diagonals of ABCD are equal and perpendicular.
    Solution:

    In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ P and Q are the mid-points of sides AB and BC respectively.
    $\therefore\text{PQ || AC}$ and $\text{PQ}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC ...(i)}$
    In $\triangle\text{BCD},$ Q and R are the mid-points of sides BC and CD respectively.
    $\therefore\text{QR || BD}$ and $\text{QR}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD ...(ii)}$
    In $\triangle\text{ADC},$ S and R are the mid-points of sides AD and CD respectively.
    $\therefore\text{RS || AC}$ and $\text{RS}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AC ...(iii)}$
    In $\triangle\text{ABD},$ P and S are the mid-points of sides AB and AD respectively.
    $\therefore\text{SP || BD}$ and $\text{SP}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD ...(iv)}$
    $\Rightarrow\text{PQ || RS}$ and $\text{QR || SP }$ [From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)]
    Thus, PQRS is a parallelogram.
    Now, $\text{AC = BD}$ (given)
    $\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\text{AC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BD}$
    $\Rightarrow\text{PQ = QR = RS = SP}$ [From (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)]
    Let the diagonals AC and BD intersect at O.
    Now,
    $\text{PS || BD}$
    $\Rightarrow\text{PN || MO}$
    Also, from (i), $\text{PQ || AC}$
    $\Rightarrow\text{PM || NO}$
    Thus, in quadrilateral PMON, $\text{PM || NO}$ and $\text{PN || MO}$
    $\Rightarrow\text{PMON}$ is a parallelogram.
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{MPN}=\angle\text{MON}$ (opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal)
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{MPN}=\angle\text{BOA}$ $(\text{Since }\angle\text{BOA}=\angle\text{MON})$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{MPN}=90^{\circ}$ $(\text{Since }\text{AC}\perp\text{BD},\angle\text{BOA}=90^{\circ})$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{QPS}=90^{\circ}$
    Thus, PQRS is a parallelogram such that PQ = QR = RS = SP and $\angle\text{QPS}=90^{\circ}.$
    Hence, PQRS is a square if diagonals of ABCD are equal and perpendicular.

Question 1391 Mark
Rhombus is a quadrilateral.
Answer
  1. In which diagonals bisect opposite angles.
    Solution:
    Let ABCD be a rhombus.
    Join BD which forms two triangles ABD and DCB. In $\triangle\text{ABD, AB = AD}.$
    So, $\angle\text{ADB} = \angle\text{ABD}$ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal) ...(i)
    But, $\angle\text{ABD} = \angle\text{BDC}$ and $\angle\text{ADB} = \angle\text{CBD}$ (alternate angles) ...(ii)
    So, from (i) and (ii)
    $\angle\text{ADB} = \angle\text{ABD}=\angle\text{BDC} = \angle\text{CBD}$
    $\therefore$ diagonal BD bisects $\angle\text{B}$ and $\angle\text{D}.$

$12x = 300^\circ$
$x = 25^\circ$
So, $\angle\text{D} = 7\text{x} = 7(25^\circ) = 175^\circ$

Question 1441 Mark
In quadrilateral ABCD, if $\angle\text{A}= 60^\circ$ and $\angle\text{B}: \angle\text{C}: \angle\text{D} = 2:3:7,$ then $\angle\text{D}$ is:
Answer
  1. 175º
    Solution:
    In quadrilateral, the sum of the all four angles equal to 360º.
    Let $\angle\text{B} = 2\text{x}, \ \angle\text{C} = 3\text{x}$ and $\angle\text{D} = 7\text{x}.$
    $\angle\text{A} + \angle\text{B} + \angle\text{C} + \angle\text{D} = 360^\circ$
    60 + 2x + 3x + 7x = 360
    12x = 300
    x = 25
    So, $\angle\text{D} = 7\text{x} = 7 (25) = 175^\circ$

Question 1481 Mark
The Diagonals AC and BD of a Parallelogram ABCD intersect each other at point O. If $\angle\text{DAC}=32^\circ$ and $\angle\text{AOB}=70^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{DBC}$ is equal to:
Answer
  1. 38º
    Solution:
    $\angle\text{DAC} = \angle\text{ACB} = 32^\circ$ (alternate angles)
    $\angle\text{AOB} + \angle\text{COB} = 180^\circ$ (linear pair)
    $\angle\text{COB} = 180 - 70^\circ = 110^\circ$
    In triangle BOC,
    $\angle\text{BOC} + \angle\text{OCB} + \angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ$ (angle sum property)
    $110^\circ + 32^\circ+ \angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ$
    $\angle\text{CBO} = 180^\circ - 142^\circ = 38^\circ$

Question 1501 Mark
In a trapezium$ \text{ABCD},$ if $AB || CD,$ then $(AC^2 + BD^2) =$ ?
Answer

Construction: Draw perpendicular from $D$ and $C$ on $AB$ which meets $AB$ at $E$ and $F,$ respectively.
So, $\text{DEFC}$ is a parallelogram, since one pair of opposite sides are parallel and equal.
In $\triangle\text{ABC},$
$\angle\text{B}$ is an acute angle.
$\Rightarrow\text{AC}^2=\text{BC}^2+\text{AB}^2-2\text{AB}\times\text{AE}$
In $\triangle\text{ABD},$
$\angle\text{A}$ is an acute angle.
$\Rightarrow\text{BD}^2=\text{AD}^2+\text{AB}^2-2\text{AB}\times\text{AF}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AC}^2+\text{BD}^2=\text{BC}^2+\text{AD}^2+2\text{AB}(\text{AB}-\text{BE}-\text{AF})$
$=\text{BC}^2+\text{AD}^2+2\text{AB}\times\text{EF}$
$=\text{BC}^2+\text{AD}^2+2\text{AB}\times\text{CD}$
