10 Inradius Circumradius Circle Triangle Questions SSC CGL Set 36 - answering time 15 mins

Problem 1.

1. 30, 24, 25
2. 24, 36, 20
3. 18, 24, 30
4. 30, 40, 41

Problem 2.

A chord $AB$ of a circle of radius $(\sqrt{3} + 1)$ cm touches a second concentric circle of radius $(\sqrt{3} - 1)$ cm. The length of $AB$ (in cm) is,

1. $2\sqrt[4]{3}$
2. $4\sqrt{3}$
3. $8\sqrt{3}$
4. $4\sqrt[4]{3}$

Problem 3.

If the inradius of an equilateral triangle be 5 cm, its circumradius (in cm) is,

1. 10
2. 15
3. 25
4. 30

Problem 4.

In isosceles $\triangle ABC$ right-angled at B, DP and DQ are two perpendiculars dropped from a point D inside the triangle on the two sides AB and AC such that P and Q lie on AB and AC respectively. If $AP = a$ cm, $AQ=b$ cm and $\angle BAD=15^0$, then $\sin 75^0$ is,

1. $\displaystyle\frac{a}{2b}$
2. $\displaystyle\frac{2b}{\sqrt{3}a}$
3. $\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{3}a}{2b}$
4. $\displaystyle\frac{2a}{\sqrt{3}b}$

Problem 5.

Sides of a right-angled triangle are in the ratio 4 : 5 : 6. If the in-radius of the triangle is 3 cm, the altitude of the triangle with base as the largest side is,

1. 7.5 cm
2. 6 cm
3. 8 cm
4. 10 cm

Problem 6.

Inside a square $\square ABCD$, $\triangle BCE$ is an equilateral triangle. If CE and BD intersect at O, then $\angle BOC$ is equal to,

1. $75^0$
2. $60^0$
3. $90^0$
4. $120^0$

Problem 7.

$ABCD$ is a rectangle where the ratio of the lengths $AB$ and $BC$ is 3 : 2. If $P$ is the midpoint of $AB$ then the value of $\sin \angle CPB$ is,

1. $\displaystyle\frac{3}{5}$
2. $\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$
3. $\displaystyle\frac{4}{5}$
4. $\displaystyle\frac{2}{5}$

Problem 8.

1. 7 cm
2. 6 cm
3. 5.5 cm
4. 8 cm

Problem 9.

A square $ABCD$ is inscribed in a circle of unit radius. Semicircles are described externally on each side with the side as the diameter. The area of the region bounded by the semicircles and the circle is,

1. 1 sq unit
2. 2.5 sq units
3. 1.5 sq units
4. 2 sq units

Problem 10.

A, B and C are three points on a circle such that angles subtended by the chords AB and AC at the centre are non-overlapping $90^0$ and $110^0$ respectively. $\angle BAC$ is then equal to,

1. $80^0$
2. $90^0$
3. $100^0$
4. $70^0$
