(c) √(x2-x1)2 (y2-y1)2

(d) √(x2-x1)2   

Answer

Answer: (b) √(x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2

Explanation: The distance between the points A (x1, y1) and B (y1, y2) = AB = √(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2


 

3. Find the value of x such that the point (x, 2) is equidistant from the points (5, 3) and (6, 1).

(a)x=5.5

(b)x=5

(c)x=4

(d)x=4.5

Answer

Answer: (a)x=5.5

Explanation:
√(x-5)2 +(2-3)2 = √(x-6)2 +(2-1)2

(x-5)2 +(2-3)2 = (x-6)2 +(2-1)2

(x-5)2 +1 = (x-6)2 +1

x2 – 10x + 25 = x2 – 12x + 36

2x = 11

x = 5.5


 

4. The distance of a point P (4, 3) from the origin O (0, 0) is

(a)4

(b)3

(c)5

(d)6

Answer

Answer: (c)5

Explanation:
√(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2 = √(0-4)2 +(0-3)2

= √(4)2 +(3)2

=√25

= 5


 

5. Find the values of y for which the distance between the points P (-10, –2) and Q (0, y) is 10 units

(a) 0

(b) -2

(c) 2

(d) 10

Answer

Answer: (b) -2

Explanation:

√(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2 = PQ

√(0+10)2 +(y+2)2 = 10

100 + (y+2)2 = 100

(y+2)2=0

y = -2





6. Find a relation between x and y such that the point (x, y) is equidistant from the point (1, 5) and (– 2, 3).

(c) x + y=7

(d) x – 2y = 7

Answer

Answer: (a) 2x + 4y = 13

Explanation:

√(x-1)2 +(y-5)2 = √(x+2)2 +(y-3)2

(x-1)2 +(y-5)2 = (x+2)2 +(y-3)2

x2 – 2x +1+ y2 – 10y +25 = x2 +4x+4 +y2 -6y +9

2x + 4y = 13

(d) √2c

Answer

Answer: (a) 2√2c

Explanation:

PQ = √(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2

PQ = √(a+c-a+c)2 +(b+c-b+c)2

= √(2c)2+(2c)2

=√4c2 + 4c2

= 2√2c


 

9.The points A (1,2) B (5,6) and C (9,10) are collinear

(a)True

(b)False

Answer

Answer: (a)True

Explanation:

AB = √(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2

= √(5-1)2 +(6-2)2

= √16+16 = 4√2

BC = √(9-5)2 +(10-6)2

= √16+16 = 4√2

AC = √(9-1)2 +(10-2)2

= √64+64 = 8√2

AB + BC = 4√2+4√2

= 8√2 = AC

So, from this we can say that A, B and C are collinear.


10. the given points A (-1,-2), B (1, 0), C (-1, 2), D (-3,0) are vertices of

(a)square

(b) rectangle

(c) parallelogram

(d) None of these

Answer

Answer: (a)square
Explanation:

AB = √(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2

= √(-1-1)2 +(-2-0)2

= √(-2)2 +(-2)2 = 2√2

BC = √(1+1)2 +(0-2)2

= √(2)2 +(-2)2 = 2√2

CD = √(-1+3)2 +(2-0)2

= √(2)2 +(2)2 =2√2

AD = √-3+1)2 +(0+2)2

= √(-2)2 +(2)2 = 2√2

AC (diagonal) = √(-1+1)2 +(-2-2)2

= √(0)2 +(4)2 = 4

BD (diagonal) = √(1+3)2 +(0-0)2

= √(4)2 +(0)2 = √16+0 = 4

So, this forms a square.

Answer: (a) ((m2 x1+m1 x2)/(m1+m2 ),(m2 y1+m1 y2)/(m1+m2 ))


 

13. Find the coordinates of the point which divides the join of (–3, 10) and (2, 1) in the ratio 2:3.

(a) (1,6.5)

(b) (-1,6.4)

(c) (-1, -6.5)

(d) (1, -6.5)

Answer

Answer: (b) (-1,6.4)

Explanation:

Using section formula,

x = (m2 x1+m1 x2)/(m1+m2 )

= (3(-3)+2(2))/(2+3)

= (-9+4)/5

= (-5)/5 = -1

y = (m2 y1+m1 y2)/(m1+m2 )

= (3(10)+2(1))/(2+3)

= (30+2)/5

= 32/5 = 6.4


 

14. Find the ratio in which the line segment joining the points A (9, 1) and B (-5, 7) is divided by (2, 4)

(a) 1:2

(b) 2:1

(c) 2:3

(d) 1:1

Answer

Answer: (d) 1:1

Explanation:

Let (2, 4) divide AB internally in the ratio m1: m2.

Using the section formula

(2, 4) = ((m2 x1+m1 x2)/(m1+m2 ),(m2 y1+m1 y2)/(m1+m2 ))

= ((9m2-5m1)/(m1+m2 ),(1m2+7m1)/(m1+m2 ))

2 = (9m2-5m1)/(m1+m2 )

2(m1+m2) = 9m2-5m1

2m2+2m1 = 9m2-5m1

7m2-7m1 = 0

m2=m1

m1 :m2 = 1:1


 

15.The coordinates of mid-point P of the join of the points A (a+2, b-2) and B (-a-2, b-2) is

(a) (a, b-2)

(b) (0, -2)

(c) (0, b)

(d) (0, b-2)

Answer

Answer: (d) (0, b-2)

Explanation:

Mid- point of AB = ((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)

= ((a+2-a-2)/2,(b-2+b-2)/2)

= (0/2,(2b-4)/2)

= (0, b-2)


 

16. The point which divides the line segment joining the points (-7, 5) and (-3, 2) in ratio 1: 2 internally lies in the

(a) I quadrant

(b) II quadrant

(c) III quadrant

(d) IV quadrant

Answer

Answer: (b) II quadrant

Explanation:

Using section formula,
x = (m2 x1+m1 x2)/(m1+m2 )

= (2(-7)+1(-3))/(1+2)

= (-14-3)/3 = (-17)/3

y = (m2 y1+m1 y2)/(m1+m2 )

= (2(5)+1(2))/(1+2)

= (10+2)/3

= 12/3 = 4

(-x, y ) lies in II quadrant.


 

MCQ on Coordinate Geometry for Class 10 with Answers

17. If (3, -2), (x, 4), (-2, y) and (0, 5) are the vertices of a parallelogram taken in order, find x and y

(a) x=11, y =1

(b) x=1, y =11

(c) x=-1, y =1

(d) x=11, y =-1

Answer

Answer: (b) x=1, y =11

Explanation:

We know that diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Mid point of AC = Mid point of BD

((3-2)/2,(-2+y)/2) = ((x+0)/2,(4+5)/2)

(1/2,(-2+y)/2) = (x/2,9/2)

By comparing,

x/2 = 1/2

x = 1

And, (-2+y)/2 = 9/2

y = 11


 

18. Find the coordinates of the centre of a circle whose diameter is AB and points are A(9,-8) and B(-3, 20)

(a) (3,6)

(b) (-3,6)

(c) (3, -6)

(d) None of these

Answer

Answer: (a) (3,6)

Explanation:

We know that centre is the mid-point of the diameter of a circle. Let the centre be (x, y)

(x, y) =( (9-3)/2,(-8+20)/2)

= (6/2,12/2)

= (3,6)


 

19. Find the area of a square if its vertices are A (1, 7), B (4, 2), C (–1, –1) and D (– 4, 4) taken in order

(a) 34 square units

(b) 17 square units

(c) 47 square units

(d) 27 square units

Answer

Answer: (a) 34 square units

Explanation:

All sides of a square are equal. So, length of all sides will be equal.
AB = √(4-1)2 +(2-7)2

= √32 +(5)2 = √34

BC = √(4+1)2 +(2+1)2

= √52 +(3)2 = √34

CD =√(-4+1)2 +(4+1)2

= √32 +(5)2 = √34

AD =√(-4-1)2 +(4-7)2

= √52 +(3)2 = √34

Area of square ABCD = (side)2

= (√34)2 = 34 square units





20.  If the distance between the points P (m, -2) and Q (0, 3) is 6, then the value of m is

(a) m= √11

(b) m=  -√11

(c) m= ±√11

(d) None of these

Answer

Answer: (c) m= ±√11

Explanation:

√(x2-x1)2 +(y2-y1)2 = PQ

√(0-m)2 +(3+2)2 = 6

m2 + 25 =36

m2 = 11

m= ±√11


 

21. Find the coordinates of the points of trisection of the line segment joining the points

A (-1,3) and B (1, -4).

(a) P=(-1/3 , 2/3 ) and Q =(1/3 ,-5/3 )

(b) P=(1/3 , -2/3 ) and Q =(1/3 ,-2/3 )

(c) P=(-1/3 , 2/3 ) and Q =(-1/3 ,-2/3 )

(d) P=(-1/3 , -2/3 ) and Q =(-1/3 ,-2/3 )

Answer

Answer: (a) P=(-1/3 , 2/3 ) and Q =(1/3 ,-5/3 )

Explanation:

Let P and Q be the points of trisection of AB i.e., AP = PQ = QB

P divides AB internally in the ratio 1:2.

Using section formula,

Coordinates of P = ((m2 x1+m1 x2)/(m1+m2 ),(m2 y1+m1 y2)/(m1+m2 ))

= ((2(-1)+1(1))/(1+2),(2(3)+1(-4))/(1+2))

= ((-2+1)/3,(6-4)/3)

= (-1/3,2/3)

Q also divides AB internally in the ratio 2:1.

So, the coordinates of Q = ((m2 x1+m1 x2)/(m1+m2 ),(m2 y1+m1 y2)/(m1+m2 ))

= ((1(-1)+2(1))/(2+1),(1(3)+2(-4))/(2+1))

= ((-1+2)/3,(3-8)/3)

= (1/3,(-5)/3 )


 

22. Find the ratio in which the x-axis divides the line segment joining the points P (-2, -5) and Q (1,3)

(a) 1:1

(b) 5:3

(c) 3:1

(d) 5:1

Answer

Answer: (b) 5:3

Explanation:

Let the ratio be k: 1.

Using section formula,

The coordinates of the point which divides PQ in the ratio k:1= ((m2 x1+m1 x2)/(m1+m2 ),(m2 y1+m1 y2)/(m1+m2 ))

= ((1(-2)+k(1))/(k+1),(1(-5)+3k)/(k+1))

=(k-2)/(k+1),(3k-5)/(k+1))

This point lies on the x-axis, and we know that on the x-axis the ordinate is 0.

(3k-5)/(k+1)=0

3k-5 = 0

k = 5/3

The ratio is 5/3 ∶1 or 5:3


 

23. Find the point on the y-axis which is equidistant from (√5, √2 ) and (√3 , 9)

(a) (0, 77/(9-√2)2)

(b) (77/(9-√2)2, 0)

(c) (0, -77/(9-√2)2)

(d) None of these

Answer

Answer: (a) (0, 77/(9-√2)2)

Explanation:

This point lies on the y-axis, and we know that on the y-axis the abscissa is 0.

√(0-√5)2 +(y-√2)2 = √(0-√3)2 +(y-9)2

√(√5)2 +(y-√2)2 = √(√3)2 +(y-9)2

5 + y2 -2√2y +2 = 3 + y2 -18y +81

18y -2√2y = 84 – 7

2y (9-√2) = 77

y = 77/((9-√2)2)

(a)√( y-x)2 + 4

(b)√( y-x)2 – 4

(c)√( y+x)2 + 4

(d)√( y+x)2 – 4

Answer

Answer: (a)√( y-x)2 + 4

Explanation:
AB = √(y-x)2 +(2-0)2

= √(y-x)2 +4


 

25. Find the coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (-1, 2) and (0, -5) in the ratio 4: 2 internally.

(a) (1/3, 8/3 )

(b) (1/3, -8/3 )

(c) (-1/3, 8/3 )

(d) (-1/3, -8/3 )

Answer

Answer: (d) (-1/3, -8/3 )

Explanation:

Coordinates of the point which divides the line segment joining the points (-1, 2) and (0, -5) = ((2(-1)+4(0))/(4+2),(2(2)+4(-5))/(4+2))

= ((-2+0)/6,(4-20)/6)

= ((-2)/6,(-16)/6)
