10 Circle questions triangle questions for SSC CGL Set 21 - time to solve 12 mins

Problem 1.

In a right triangle $\triangle ABC$, the $\angle A = 90^0$ and $AD$ is perpendicular to $BC$. If areas of the triangles $\triangle ABC = 40cm^2$ and $\triangle ACD = 10cm^2$ with $AC = 9cm$, the length of $BC$ is,

1. 4cm
2. 12cm
3. 18cm
4. 6cm

Problem 2.

If the ratio of an external anglre and an internal angle of a regular polygon is $1 : 17$, the number of sides of the regular polygon is,

1. 12
2. 36
3. 20
4. 18

Problem 3.

In an isosceles $\triangle ABC$, $AB=AC$. A circle passing through $B$ and touching AC at its middle point, intersects $AB$ at $P$. Then $AP : AB$ is,

1. 2 : 3
2. 4 : 1
3. 1 : 4
4. 3 : 5

Problem 4.

In  $\triangle ABC$, $\angle C$ is an obtuse angle. The bisectors of exterior angles at $A$ and $B$ meet extended $BC$ and $AC$ at $D$ and $E$ respectively. If $AB = AD=BE$ then $\angle ACB$ is

1. $105^0$
2. $110^0$
3. $135^0$
4. $108^0$

Problem 5.

How many triangles can be formed by taking any three from the four line segments of lengths, 2cm, 3cm, 5cm and 6cm?

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4

Problem 6.

In right $\triangle ABC$, $BL$ and $CM$ are two medians with right angle at $\angle A$ and $BC=5cm$. If $BL = \displaystyle\frac{3\sqrt{5}}{2}$, then the length of $CM$ is,

1. $2\sqrt{5}$cm
2. $10\sqrt{2}$cm
3. $5\sqrt{2}$cm
4. $4\sqrt{5}$ cm

Problem 7.

In $\triangle ABC$, $D$ and $E$ are two points on the sides $AC$ and $BC$ respectively, such that $DE=18$cm, $CE=5$cm and $\angle DEC = 90^0$. If $tan \angle ABC = 3.6$, then $AC : CD$ is

1. $2BC : CE$
2. $BC : 2CE$
3. $CE : 2BC$
4. $2CE : BC$

Problem 8.

$AB$ is a chord to a circle and $TAP$ is the tangent to the circle at $A$. If $\angle BAT = 75^0$ and $\angle BAC= 45^0$, where $C$ is a point on the circle, then $\angle ABC$ is,

1. $40^0$
2. $60^0$
3. $70^0$
4. $45^0$

Problem 9.

If radii of two circles be 6cm and 3cm and the length of the transverse common tangent be 8cm, then the distance between the centers is,

1. $\sqrt {140}$cm
2. $\sqrt {145}$cm
3. $\sqrt {135}$cm
4. $\sqrt {150}$cm

Problem 10.

Two circles with centers at $P$ and$Q$ intersect each other at $B$ and $C$. Two points on both sides of $C$ are placed such on the circles that $ACD$ are collinear with $A$ on the first circle. If $\angle APB = 130^0$, find $\angle BQD$.

1. $130^0$
2. $165^0$
3. $65^0$
4. $15^0$
