Exercise 7.2

Very Short Answer Type Questions (Q. No. 7-12)

Write whether True or False and justify your answer

Question. 7 A circle has its centre at the origin and a point P (5, 0) lies on it. The point Q (6, 8) lies outside the circle.

Solution. True

Point Q (6, 8) will lie outside the circle if its distance from the centre of circle is greater than the radius of that circle.

Question. 8 The point A (2, 7) lies on the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points P (6, 5) and Q (0, -4).

Solution. False

Question. 9 The point P(5, -3) is one of the two points of trisection of line segment joining the points A(7, -2) and B(1, -5).

Solution. True

Suppose, P (5, -3) divides the line segment joining the points A (7, -2) and B (1, -5) in the ratio m : 1 internally.

So the point P divides the line segment AB in ratio 1 : 2. Therefore, point P in the point of trisection of AB.

Question. 10 The points A(-6,10), B(-4, 6) and C(3, -8) are collinear such that AB =  AC.

Solution. True

For points A(-6,10), B(-4, 6) and C(3, -8) to be collinear, the area of triangle formed by these points must be zero.

Now, area of triangle formed by three points (x₁, y₁), (x₂, y₂) and (x₃, y₃) is given as,            

Here, x₁ = -6, x₂ = -4, x₃ = 3 and y₁ = 10, y₂ = 6, y₃ = -8

Question. 11 The point P(-2, 4) lies on a circle of radius 6 and centre (3, 5).

Solution. False

The point P(-2, 4) will lie on given circle if its distance from centre (3, 5) equal to the radius of this circle.

Question. 12 The points A (-1, -2), B (4, 3), C (2, 5) and D (-3, 0) in that order form a rectangle.

Solution. True

Given points will be the vertices of a parallelogram, if the opposite sides and diagonals of that rectangle come out to be equal.

As, diagonals AC and SD are equal, therefore, the points A (-1, -2), B (4, 3), C (2, 5) and D (-3, 0) form a rectangle.
