Difficulty Level: 9/10
SECTION A: TRIANGLES
1. MCQs
1. In ΔABC, the median from A is equal to half of BC. What type of triangle is ΔABC?
a) Equilateral b) Isosceles c) Right-angled d) Scalene
2. If in a triangle, the bisector of an angle divides the opposite side in ratio 2:3, then the
triangle is:
a) Equilateral b) Isosceles c) Scalene d) Right-angled
2. Assertion-Reason (2 marks)
Assertion (A): The centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1.
Reason (R): The centroid is the intersection of altitudes of a triangle.
3. Very Short Answer (2 marks each)
1. Draw a triangle with sides 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm and construct its median from the
largest side.
2. State Pythagoras theorem for right-angled triangle.
4. Short Answer (3 marks each)
1. In ΔABC, AB = AC = 6 cm and BC = 8 cm. Find the length of the altitude from A.
2. Prove that the sum of the medians of a triangle is greater than its semi-perimeter.
5. Long Answer (5 marks each)
1. In a triangle, the medians are 9 cm, 12 cm, and 15 cm. Construct the triangle.
2. Prove that the centroid divides each median in the ratio 2:1.
SECTION B: CIRCLES
1. MCQs
1. The length of a tangent drawn from a point 10 cm away from the centre of a circle of
radius 6 cm is:
a) 8 cm b) 6 cm c) 10 cm d) 12 cm
2. Assertion-Reason (2 marks)
Assertion (A): A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
Reason (R): The tangent of a circle always passes through the centre.
