1. In the given fig. O is the Centre of the circle and PQ is tangent then POQ + QPO is equal to
2. If PQ is a tangent to a circle of radius 5cm and PQ = 12 cm, Q is point of contact, then OP is
3. In the given fig. PQ and PR are tangents to the circle, QOP = 70°, then QPR is equal to
4. In the given fig. QS is a tangent to the circle, OS = 8 cm, OQ = 6 cm then the length of QS is
5. In the given fig PQ is tangent to outer circle and PR is tangent to inner circle. If PQ = 4 cm, OQ = 3
cm and OR = 2 cm then the length of PR is
6. In the given fig. P, Q and R are the points of contact. If AB = 4 cm, BP = 2 cm then the perimeter of
ABC is
7. Two concentric circles of radii a & b (a>b) are given. Find the length of the chord of the larger circle
which touches the smaller circle
8. From a point P outside the circle with Centre O, tangents PA and PB are drawn to the circle. Prove
that OP is the right bisector of the line segment AB.
9. A circles is inscribed in a triangle ABC, touching BC, CA and AB at P,Q and R respectively if AB =
10 cm AQ =7cm CQ =5 cm. Find BC
10. A Quadrilateral ABCD is drawn to circumscribe a circle, as shown in the figure. Prove that AB + CD
= AD + BC
11. Two concentric circles are of radii 7 cm and r cm respectively, where r>7. A chord of the larger
circle of length 46 cm, touches the smaller circle. Find the value of r.
12. Prove that the tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of
contact.
13. Prove that the length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
14. Prove that the tangents at the extremities of any chord of a circle, make equal angle with the chord.
15. PA and PB are tangents to the circle with the Centre O from an external point P, touching the
circle at A and B respectively. Show that the quadrilateral AOBP IS cyclic.
16. Prove that the parallelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus.
17. In the given figure, XY and X’Y’ are two parallel tangents to a circle with Centre O
and another tangent AB with point of contact C intersects XY at A and X’Y’ at B.
Prove that LAOB = 900.
Q.18 Two roads starting from P are touching a circular path at A and B. Sarita
runs from P to A, 20km and A to O, 15km and Reeta runs from P to O directly.
