Problem 1.

In a rhombus ABCD, AB is produced to F and BA is produced to E such that AB=AE=BF. Then,

  1. $ED \bot CF$
  2. $ED \gt CF$
  3. $ED^2 + CF^2=EF^2$
  4. $ED || CF$

Problem 2.

  3. $AB^2 + CD^2 = BC^2 + DA^2$
  4. $AB^2 + AD^2 = BC^2 + CD^2$

Problem 3.

  2. $20^0$
  3. $25^0$
  4. $30^0$

Problem 4.

  2. 19.8 cm
  3. 21.6 cm
  4. 13.2 cm

Problem 5.

A circle with centre at O touches two intersecting lines AX and BY. The two points of contact A and B subtend and angle of $65^0$ at any point C on the major arc of the circle. If P is the point of intersection of the two lines, then the measure of $\angle APO$ is,

  2. $65$ cm
  3. $\displaystyle\frac{65}{2}$ cm
  4. $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{65}$ cm

Problem 7.

I and O are the incentre and circumcentre of $\triangle ABC$ respectively. The line AI produced intersects the circumcircle at point D. If $\angle ABC=x^0$, $\angle BID = y^0$ and $\angle BOD = z^0$, then $\displaystyle\frac{z+x}{y}$ is,
