Answer all the following questions 1 to 14 each question carries 1mark(1×14 =14)
1. In the given figure, PQ is tangent to a circle
centred at O and ∠BAQ = 30◦ ; show that
BP = BQ. 3. If a hexagon PQRSTU circumscribes a cir-
cle, prove that,
PQ + RS + TU = QR + ST + UP
2. Two circles with centres O and O′ of radii 6
cm and 8 cm , respectively intersect at two 4. A circle touches the side BC of a △ABC at a
points P and Q such that OP and O′ P are point P and touches AB and AC when pro-
tangents to the two circles. Find the length duced at Q and R respectively. Show that
of the common chord PQ . AQ = 12 (Perimeter of △ABC ).
