If A, B, C are the centers of 3 triangles each of chose radii is r units. Then AB = AC = BC = 3r units.
Hence, ABC is an equilateral triangle.

(4) the centres of the two circles are 0.6 cms apart
Sol. Difference of radius = 2.8 2 = 0.8 cms Sum of radius = 2.8 + 2 = 4.8 cms
(1) Since distance between centres is less than the sum, they do not touch externally but
cross each other (intersect) at two points. This is also evident from the fact that the distance

Ex.16. The interior and the exterior angles of an isosceles triangle are in the ratio 1 : 4. Find all
the interior and exterior angles of the triangle. Also find out the lengths of all the sides of the triangle
if the perimeter of the triangle is 20 cms.
Sol. Let the interior angle and the exterior angle be X and 4 X X + 4 X = 180 X = 36
Thus there are two possible cases :
CASE I : If we take 36 to be one of the equal angles, the 3 internal angles would be 36, 36, and
(180 2 x 36 = 108) resp. The exterior angles will be 144, 144, 72 respectively (in the same
order).Thus, we use the Sine rule : Sin A / a = Sin B / b = Sin C / c
We know that a + b + c = 20, A = 36, B = 36, C = 108
Also since triangle is isosceles, a = b
Thus we can easily solve the Sine rule equations to get a = 5.54 cms, b = 5.54 cms, c = 8.92
cms
NOTE : To solve by the Sine rule, you need SINE INVERSE functions. This is generally NOT asked
in the MBA tests but you must have an idea of the procedure.
CASE II : If we take 36 to be the unequal angle, the 3 angles work out to be 36, 72, 72. The
exterior angle will be 144, 108, 108 resp (in the same order). Now to get the edge lengths we have
b = c, a + b + c = 20 cms. Again using the same procedure of Sine rule, we get a = 7.64 cms, b
= c = 6.18 cms
NOTE : WE HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM TAKING THE RATIO 1 : 4 INTO CONSIDERATION
THROUGHOUT.
Ex.17. A regular polygon of 8 sides is inscribed in a circle of radius 20 cms. Find its area and also
the value of the angle a side of the polygon subtends at the centre of the circle. Also find the
value of an internal angle of this polygon.
Sol. Sum of all interior angles = (n 2) 180 Put n = 8
Sum of angles = 1080 Each internal angle = 135
Thus now if we join each vertex of this 8sided polygon to the centre of
the circle, the central angle subtended by each side would be 360/8 = 45
Now to find the area :
Area of the polygon = Sum of areas of the eight isosceles triangles
= Sum of areas of 16 right angled triangles
Area of a right angled triangle = Base x Height = B x P
= (20 x Cos 67.5) x (20 x Sin 67.5) Area of right triangle = 70.7 sq cms
Area of the Polygon = 16 x 70.7 = 1131.2 cms Ans.
Ex.18. In a triangle ABC, AD is drawn perpendicular to BC. Let P denote the length AD.
If a = 25 cms, P = 12 cms, BD = 9 cms. Find b and c.
Sol. We can get the sides using the Pythagoras theorem
b = \(12 + 16) = 20 cms, c = \(9 + 12) = 15 cms Ans.
Ex.19. Two circles of diameter 10 cms and 18 cms touch each other internally. Find the distance
betewen their centres. Find the same if they touch externally.
Sol. When they touch each other externally, the distance between their centres
= 10 + 18 = 28 cms
When they touch each other internally, the distance between their centres
= 18 10 = 8 cms Ans.
Ex.20. In a trapezium the distance between the parallel sides is 10 cms and the segment joining the
midpoints of the oblique sides is 5. Find the area of the trapezium.
Sol. Area of a trapezium = (Sum of parallel sides)x(Distance between them)
We know that : Sum of parallel sides / 2 = Length of the segment joining midpoints of the oblique sides
Required Area = (5 x 2) x 10 = 50 cms Ans.

(a) PM = 4, QM = 4.5, PN = 4, NR = 4.5
(b) PQ = 1.28, PR = 2.56, PM = 0.16, PN = 0.32
Sol. (a) The triangle PQR is isosceles MN || QR by converse of Proportionality Theorem
(b) Again by Converse of Proportionality theorem, MN || QR Ans.
Ex.22. P and Q are the points on the sides AB and AC respectively of a A ABC.If AP = 2 cm, PB =
4 cm, AQ = 3 cm, QC = 6 cm; Prove that BC = 3 PQ.
Sol. The two triangles ABC and APQ are similar.
Thus BC : PQ = AB : AP BC = PQ x (AB / AP) = PQ x (AP + PB) / AP
On substituting the values, we get BC = PQ x (2 + 4)/2 = 3 PQ Ans.
Ex.23. Two chords AB and CD of lengths 5 cm and 11 cm respectively of a circle are parallel. If
the distance between AB and CD is 3 cm, find the radius of the circle.
Sol. Let us assume that the two given chords are on the same side of the centre (Even if you
take them to be on the opposite sides of the centre, the final answer shall be the same as one distance
shall come negative) Given : PQ = OQ OP = 3 cms
Now we have the right angled triangles OAQ and OCP
Let radius = R
In triangle OAQ, OQ = R AQ OQ = R 2.5
In triangle OCP, OP = R CP OP = R 5.5
On subtracting, we get : OQ OP = 24
(OQ OP) (OQ + OP) = 24 3 x (OQ + OP) = 24 OQ + OP = 8
On solving for OP and OQ, we get OQ = 5.5 cms, OP = 2.5 cms
R = OQ + AQ = 5.5 + 2.5 R = 6.04 cms Ans.
NOTE : In this problem, we have used the property that a perpendicular from the centre to a chord
bisects the chord.
Ex.24. In a circle of radius 5 cm, AB and AC are two chords such that AB = AC = 6 cms.
Find the length of the chord BC.
Sol. Considering the triangle ABP, we get : (5 X) + Y = 36
Considering the triangle OPB, we get : X + Y = 25
Solving these : we get Y = 4.8 cms Req answer = 2 Y = 9.6 cms.
Ex.25. AB and CD are two chords of a circle such that AB = 10 cm, CD = 24 cm, and AB is parallel
to CD. The distance between AB and CD is 17 cms. Find the radius of the circle.
Sol. Question is similar to Q 43 : with the difference that the two chords will finally work out
to be on different sides of the centre. However, even if you draw the diagram assuming the chords
on the same side of the centre, the final answer would definitely be the same. Final Answer: Radius
= 13 cms.
Ex.26. ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals intersect at P. If angle DBC = 70 and
angle BAC = 30, find angle BCD.
Sol. We use the property that the angles subtended by an arc at any point on the circumference
are equal Arc DC subtends angle CBD and CAD at the circumference
Angle CBD = Angle CAD = 70 Angle DAB = Angle DAC + Angle BAC = 70 + 30 = 100
Since opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary, we get
Angle DAB + Angle BCD = 180 Angle BCD = 80

Sol.

They are similar triangles ZABD = ZBDC AB || DC

81. What is the angle in degrees made by a sector the ratio of whose area with the area of the
semicircle is equal to 1 : 10?
(1) 36 (2) 18 (3) 24 (4) 9
Sol. We know that area of the sector/area of the circle = angle of the sector/360. Thus we get 1/10 =
angle of the sector / 180 (as the second curve is a semi-circle). Thus the angle of the sector = 18
degrees. Hence, (2).
82. The length of the spiral string below can be
(1) 12 a (2) 14 a (3) 18 a (4) 20 a
Sol. Consider arc ABC. ABC > 2 t a and ABC > 2 t (2a). Greater than circle of radius a less than
circle of radius 2a. 2 t a < ABC < 2 t a. Similarly, 2 t (2a) < CDE < 2 t (3a)
2 t (3a) < EFG < 2 t (4a). Adding, 2 t (6a) < ABC + CDE + EFG < 2 t (9a)
Only one choice 14 t a lies between 12 t a and 18 t a. Hence, (2).
