2. If the area of a circle is equal to sum of the areas of two circles of diameters 10 cm and 24 cm, then the
diameter of the larger circle (in cm) is:
(A) 34
(B) 26
(C) 17
(D) 14
Solution:
Correct answer: B
Diameters of two circles are given as 10 cm and 24 cm.
Radius of one circle = r1 = 5 cm
Radius of one circle = r2 = 12 cm
According to the given information,
Area of the larger circle = (r1 ) 2 (r2 ) 2

CBSE-X-2012 EXAMINATION
(A) (-6,7)
(B) ( 6,-7)
(C) (6,7)
(D) (-6,-7)
Solution:
Correct answer: A
Let the coordinates of the other end of the diameter be (x, y).
We know that the centre is the mid-point of the diameter. So, O(-2, 5) is the mid-point of the diameter AB.
The coordinates of the point A and B are (2, 3) and (x, y) respectively.
Using mid-point formula, we have,
2 x

9. In Fig., the sides AB, BC and CA of a triangle ABC, touch a circle at P, Q and R respectively. If PA = 4 cm,
BP = 3 cm and AC = 11 cm, then the length of BC (in cm) is:
(A) 11
(B) 10
(C) 14
(D) 15
Solution:
Correct answer: B
It is known that the lengths of tangents drawn from a point outside a circle are equal in length.
Therefore, we have:
AP = AR … (1) (Tangents drawn from point A)
BP = BQ … (2) (Tangents drawn from point B)
CQ = CR … (3) (Tangents drawn from point C)
Using the above equations,
AR = 4 cm (AP = 4 cm, given)
BQ = 3 cm (BP = 3 cm, given)
AC = 11 cm RC = 11 cm – 4 cm = 7 cm
CQ = 7 cm
Hence, BC = BQ + CQ = 3 cm + 7 cm = 10 cm

10. In Fig., a circle touches the side DF of EDF at H and touches ED and EF produced at K and M
respectively. If EK = 9 cm, then the perimeter of EDF (in cm) is:
(A) 18
(B) 13.5
(C) 12
(D) 9
Solution:
Correct answer: A
It is known that the tangents from an external point to the circle are equal.
EK = EM, DK = DH and FM = FH … (1)
Perimeter of EDF = ED + DF + FE
= (EK – DK) + (DH + HF) + (EM – FM)
= (EK – DH) + (DH + HF) + (EM – FH) [Using (1)]
= EK + EM
= 2 EK = 2 (9 cm) = 18 cm
Hence, the perimeter of EDF is 18 cm.

14.Tangents PA and PB are drawn from an external point P to two concentric circle with centre O and radii
8 cm and 5 cm respectively, as shown in Fig., If AP = 15 cm, then find the length of BP.
www.vedantu.com 7 / 24
CBSE-X-2012 EXAMINATION
Solution:
Given: Tangents PA and PB are drawn from an external point P to two
concentric circles with centre O and radii OA = 8 cm, OB = 5 cm
respectively. Also, AP = 15 cm
To find: Length of BP
Construction: We join the points O and P.
Solution: OA ⊥ AP ; OB ⊥ BP
[Using the property that radius is perpendicular to the tangent at the point
of contact of a circle]
In right angled triangle OAP,
OP2 = OA2 + AP2 [Using Pythagoras Theorem]
= (8)2 + (15)2 = 64 + 225 = 289
∴ OP = 17 cm
In right angled triangle OBP,
OP2 = OB2 + BP2
⇒ BP2 = OP2 – OB2
= (17)2 – (5)2 = 289 – 25 = 264
BP 264 2 66 cm.

In fig., the chord AB of the larger of the two concentric circles, with centre O, touches the smaller circle at
C. Prove that AC = CB.
Solution:
Given: ABC is an isosceles triangle, where AB = AC, circumscribing a circle.
To prove: The point of contact P bisects the base BC.
i.e. BP = PC
Proof: It can be observed that
BP and BR ; CP and CQ; AR and AQ are pairs of tangents drawn to the circle
from the external points B , C and A respectively.
So, applying the result that the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle, we get
BP = BR --- (i)
CP = CQ --- (ii)
AR = AQ --- (iii)
Given that AB = AC
⇒ AR + BR = AQ + CQ
⇒ BR = CQ [from (iii)]
⇒ BP = CP [from (i) and (ii)]
∴ P bisects BC.
Hence proved.
OR
Given: The chord AB of the larger of the two concentric circles, with centre O, touches the smaller circle at
C.
To prove: AC = CB
Construction: Let us join OC.
www.vedantu.com 9 / 24
CBSE-X-2012 EXAMINATION
Proof: In the smaller circle, AB is a tangent to the circle at the point of contact C.
∴ OC ⊥ AB ------ (i)
(Using the property that the radius of a circle is perpendicular to the tangent at the point of contact)
For the larger circle, AB is a chord and from (i) we have OC ⊥ AB
∴ OC bisects AB
(Using the property that the perpendicular drawn from the centre to a chord of a circle bisects the chord)
∴ AC = CB

17.Find the sum of all three digit natural numbers, which are multiples of 7.
Solution:
First three- digit number that is divisible by 7 = 105
Next number = 105 + 7 = 112
Therefore the series is 105, 112, 119,…
The maximum possible three digit number is 999.
When we divide by 7, the remainder will be 5.
Clearly, 999 – 5 = 994 is the maximum possible three – digit number divisible by 7.
The series is as follows:
105, 112, 119, …., 994
Here a = 105, d = 7
Let 994 be the nth term of this A.P.
an a (n 1)d
994 105 (n 1)7
