In an international school in Hyderabad organised an Interschool Throwball Tournament for girls just after the pre-board exam. The throw ball team was very excited. The team captain Anjali directed the team to assemble in the ground for practices. Only three girls Priyanshi, Swetha and Aditi showed up. The rest did not come on the pretext of preparing for pre-board exam. Anjali drew a circle of radius 5 m on the ground. The centre A was the position of Priyanshi. Anjali marked a point N, 13 m away from centre A as her own position. From the point N, she drew two tangential lines NS and NR and gave positions S and R to Swetha and Aditi. Anjali throws the ball to Priyanshi, Priyanshi throws it to Swetha, Swetha throws it to Anjali, Anjali throws it to Aditi, Aditi throws it to Priyanshi, Priyanshi throws it to Swetha and so on.

(i) (b):
Here, OS the is radius of circle.
Since radius at the point of contact is perpendicularto tangent.
So, \(\angle\)OSA = 90°
(ii) (d): Since, length of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
\(\therefore\) AS=AP,BP=BQ,
CQ = CR and DR = DS
(iii) (a): AP = AS = AD _ DS = AD _ DR (Using (1)
= 11 - 7 = 4 cm
(iv) (b): In quadrilateral OQCR,
\(\angle\)QCR = 60° (Given)
And \(\angle\)OQC = \(\angle\)ORC = 90° [Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent.]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)QOR = 360° - 90° - 90° - 60° = 120°
(v) (c): From (1), we have AS = AP, DS = DR,
BQ = BP and CQ = CR
Adding all above equations, we get
AS + DS + BQ + CQ = AP + DR + BP + CR
\(\Rightarrow\) AD + BC = AB + CD -
(i) (a)
(ii) (d)
(iii) (b)
(iv) (a)
(v) (c) -
Here in right angled triangle ABC, AB = 6 m and BC= 8 cm.
\(\therefore\) By Pythagoras theorem \(A C=\sqrt{(A B)^{2}+(B C)^{2}}\)
\(=\sqrt{(8)^{2}+(6)^{2}}=\sqrt{100}=10 \mathrm{~m}\)
Also, AP = x m.
(i) (c):AR=AP = xm ..(1)
[Since, length of tangents drawn from an external point are equal]
(ii) (b): BQ = BR = AB - AR = (6 - x) m (Using (1))
(iii) (d): CQ = CP = AC - AP = (10 - x) m
Also, CQ = BC - BQ = BC - BR = 8 - (6 - x) = 2 + x
(iv) (b): Since, CQ = 10 - x = 2 + x
\(\Rightarrow\) 8 = 2x \(\Rightarrow\) x = 4
\(\therefore\) AR = AP = 4 m, BR = BQ = 2 m
and CP = CQ = 6 m
Also, OQ.\(\perp\)BQ and OR.l BR
\(\therefore\) BROQ is a square.
(v) (a): Radius of the circle, OR = BR = 2 cm -
Here, AS = 5 cm, BT = 4 cm [\(\therefore\)Radii of circles]
(i) (c): Since, radius at point of contact is perpendicular to tangent.
\(\therefore\) By Pythagoras theorem, we have
\(P A=\sqrt{P S^{2}+A S^{2}}=\sqrt{12^{2}+5^{2}}=\sqrt{169}=13 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(ii) (b): Again by Pythagoras theorem, we have
\(B Q=\sqrt{T Q^{2}+B T^{2}}=\sqrt{3^{2}+4^{2}}=\sqrt{25}=5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(iii) (d): PK = PA + AK = 13 + 5 = 18 cm
(iv) (c): QY = BQ - BY = 5 - 4 = 1 cm
(v) (c): PS2 = PA2 - AS2 = PA2 - AK2
= (PA + AK)(PA - AK) = PK.PX [\(\because\) AK = AX] -
(i) (b)
(ii) (c): In \(\Delta\)OAP and \(\Delta\)OBP,
\(\angle\)OAP = \(\angle\)OBP = 90°
[Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
OP = OP (Common)
OA = OB (Radii of circle)
So, \(\angle\)OAP == \(\angle\)OBP (By RHS congruency criterion)
(iii) (b): In quadrilateral OAPB, \(\angle\)AOB = 150° [Given]
\(\angle\)OAP = \(\angle\)OBP = 90°
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)APB = 360° - 90° - 90° - 150° = 30°
(iv) (d): We have, \(\angle\)APB = 40°
Now,PA =PB [Since, length of tangents drawn from an external point are equal]
In \(\Delta\)PAB, \(\angle\)PAB = \(\angle\)PBA = 70° [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Also, \(\angle\)PAB + \(\angle\)BAO = 90°
[Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
\(\Rightarrow\) \(\angle\)BAO = 90° - 70° = 20°
(v) (d): We have, \(\angle\)ABO = 45°
\(\because\) AO = OB (Radii of circle)
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)BAO = \(\angle\)ABO = 45° [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Now, in \(\Delta\)OAB,
\(\angle\)AOB = 180° - 45° - 45° = 90°
Since, \(\angle\)APB = 360° - 90° - 90° - 90° = 90° i.e., AP\(\perp\) BP
So, OAPB is a square. -
(i) (b): OA2=AB2+OB2
\(\Rightarrow \quad O A=\sqrt{10^{2}+5^{2}}=5 \sqrt{5} \mathrm{~cm}\)
(ii) (a) : \(O A=\sqrt{O P^{2}-A P^{2}} \text { (Given) }\)
\(=\sqrt{17^{2}-15^{2}}=\sqrt{64}=8 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(iii) (b): Length of tangent \(A P=\sqrt{O P^{2}-O A^{2}} \text { (Given) }\)
\(=\sqrt{25^{2}-7^{2}}=\sqrt{576}=24 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(iv) (b):
\(\text { Since, } O P=\sqrt{(P T)^{2}+(O T)^{2}}=\sqrt{21^{2}+20^{2}}=29 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(v) (a): Since, OP2 + PQ2 = OQ2
\(\Rightarrow\) 82 + x2 = (x + 2)2\(\Rightarrow\) 64 = 4x + 4\(\Rightarrow\) x = 15 cm
So, length of tangent, PQ = 15 cm. -
(i) (a): \(\text { Here, } O A^{2}=O D^{2}+A D^{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow A D=\sqrt{25-9}=4 \mathrm{~cm}\)
As OD bisects AB, then
AB = 2AD = 2 x 4 = 8 cm
(ii) (c): Here, PB2 + OB2 = OP2 = PA2 + OA2
Then PB2 + 9 = 144 + 25\(\Rightarrow\) PB2 = 160
\(\Rightarrow\) P B = 4\(\sqrt{10}\) cm
(iii) (b): Here, OP2 - PB2 = OB2 and OP2 - PA2 = OA2
\(\therefore O B=\sqrt{100-64}=\sqrt{36}=6 \mathrm{~cm}\)
\(\text { and } O A=\sqrt{100-36}=\sqrt{64}=8 \mathrm{~cm} \)
\(\therefore \quad A B=O A-O B=8-6=2 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(iv) (d):Here, in right angled \(\Delta\)OBD, OB = 5 cm and OD=3 cm.
\(\therefore B D=\sqrt{25-9}=\sqrt{16}=4 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Since, chord BP is bisected by radius OD.
\(\therefore\) BP = 2BD = 8 cm
(v) (a):Let x be the radii of smaller circle.
\(\text { Now, } O A^{2}=O D^{2}+A D^{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow(x+4)^{2}=x^{2}+12^{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow 8 x+16=144 \)
\(\Rightarrow x=16 \mathrm{~cm}\) -
(i) (d):
Two tangents of a circle are parallel only when they are drawn at ends of a diameter.
So,PQ is the diameter of the circle.
(ii) (b)
(iii) (d)
(iv) (a): Here, the two circles have a common point of contact T and PQ is the tangent at T. So, PQ is the tangent to both the circles.
(v) (a) -
(i) (b):In \(\Delta\)OAC, \(\angle\)OCA = 90°
[Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OAC + \(\angle\)AOC = 90° \(\Rightarrow\) x + y = 90°
(ii) (c):
Since, OB \(\perp\) PB [Since, radius at the point of contact is perpendicular to tangent]
and \(\angle\)PBA = 50° (Given)
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OBA = 90° - 50° = 40°
Also, OA = OB [Radii of circle]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OAB = \(\angle\)OBA = 40° [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
(iii) (d): In quadrilateral OQPR,
\(\angle\)ROQ + \(\angle\)RPQ = 180° [\(\because\)Angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segment joining the point of contact at the centre]
\(\Rightarrow\) LROQ = 180° - 30° = 150°
(iv) (b): Here, \(\angle\)ABC = 90° (Angle in a semicircle)
So, in \(\Delta\)ABC, \(\angle\)BAC = 180° - 90° - 55° = 35°
Also, \(\angle\)OA T = 90°
\(\Rightarrow\)\(\angle\)BAT + \(\angle\)OAB = 90° \(\Rightarrow\)\(\angle\)BAT = 90° - 35° = 55°
(v) (b): Here, \(\angle\)PAB = 72°
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)OAB = 90° - 72° = 18°
Also, \(\angle\)AOB = 132° [Given]
Now, in \(\Delta\)OAB, \(\angle\)ABC = 180° - 132° - 18° = 30° -
(i) (d):We have, AP = AQ, BP = BD, CQ = CD ...(i)
[\(\because\) Tangents drawn from an external points are equal in length]
Now, AB + BC + AC = 7 + 5 + 8 = 20 cm
\(\Rightarrow\) AB + BD + CD + A C = 20 cm
\(\Rightarrow\)AP + AQ = 20 cm \(\Rightarrow\)2AP = 20 cm \(\Rightarrow\)AP = 10 cm
(ii) (c): Let AF = AE = x cm
[\(\because\) Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length]
Given, BD = FB = 9 cm, CD = CE = 3 cm
\(\text { In } \Delta A B C, A B^{2}=A C^{2}+B C^{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow(A F+F B)^{2}=(A E+E C)^{2}+(B D+C D)^{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow(x+9)^{2}=(x+3)^{2}+12^{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow 18 x+81=6 x+9+144 \)
\(\Rightarrow 12 x=72 \Rightarrow x=6 \mathrm{~cm} \)
\(\therefore A B=6+9=15 \mathrm{~cm}\)
(iii) (b): Here, AP = AS = 4 cm
\(\therefore\) DS = DR = 10 - 4 = 6 cm
And BP = BQ = 2 cm. So, CR = CQ = 5 - 2 = 3 cm
So, CD = DR + CR = 6 + 3 = 9 cm
(iv) (d): Here \(\angle\)OAP = 90°
In \(\Delta\)AOP and \(\Delta\)BOP
\(\angle\)OAP = \(\angle\)OBP [90° each]
OA = OB [Radii of circle]
PA = PB [Tangents drawn from an external point are equal]
\(\therefore\) \(\Delta A O P \cong \Delta B O P\) [By SAS congruency]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)APO = \(\angle\)OPB [C.P.C.T]
\(\therefore\) \(\angle\)BPA = 40° + 40° = 80°
(v) (c): For bigger circle, PA = PB ... (i)
[\(\because\)Tangents drawn from an external point are equal in length]
Similarly, for smaller circle, PB = PC ...(ii)
From (i) and (ii), we get
PA = PB = PC = 7 cm -
(a) (iv) NS and NR are both tangent to the circle
So, \(N S \perp S A\) and \(N R \perp R A\)
[ \(\therefore\) Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius through the point of contact ]
\(\therefore \angle N S A=90^{\circ}\)
(b) (ii)
\(\angle N S A=90^{\circ} \quad \Rightarrow N A^{2}=N S^{2}+S A^{2}\) [ By Pythagora's Theorem]
\(\Rightarrow N S=\sqrt{N A^{2}-S A^{2}}=\sqrt{13^{2}-5^{2}}=\sqrt{169-25}\)
\(=\sqrt{144}=12 \mathrm{~m}\)
(c) (iiii)
NR = NS = 12m
Tangents drawn from an external point are equal
\(\therefore N R=12 \mathrm{~m}\)
(d) (iv)
\(\angle S N R+\angle R A S=180^{\circ} \Rightarrow \angle R A S=180^{\circ}-\angle S N R\)
[\(\because\) The angle between the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle is supplementary to the angle subtended by the line segments joining the points of contact to the centre]
\(\Rightarrow \angle R A S=180^{\circ}-\theta\)
(e) (i)
\(\angle R A S=180^{\circ}-\theta\) [ Calulated bove]
Now, \(\angle N A S=\angle N A R=\frac{1}{2} \angle R A S\)
[\(\because\) If two tangents are drawn from an external point, then they extend equal angles at the centre]
\(\Rightarrow \angle N A S=\frac{1}{2}\left(180^{\circ}-\theta\right)=90^{\circ}-\frac{\theta}{2}\)
