ii) A is true, B is false.
iii) A is false, B is true.
iv) Both A and B are false.
(i)
Explanation:
From an external point the two tan¬gents drawn subtend equal angles at the centre. So A is true. Also, a paral¬lelogram circumscribing a circle is a rhombus, so B is also true but B is not correct explanation of Answer:
Hence, (i) is the correct option.

Question 122.
Statement (A): PA and PB are two tan-gents to a circle with centre O, such that ∠AOB =110°, then ∠APB = 90°.

Statement (B) : The length of two tan-gents drawn from an external point are equal.

Area of circles.

Question 139.

Question 140.
Observe the figure match the column.

A – (i), B – (iv).

Question 141.
Two circular flower beds have been shown on two sides of a square lawn ABCD of side 56m. If the centre of each circular flowered bed is the point of intersection O of the diagonals of the square lawn, then match the column.

A – (ii), B – (iii), C – (iv), D – (i).

Question 142.
Choose correct matching.

A – (i), B – (ii).

Question 143.

A – (ii), B – (iii), C – (iv), D – (i) ,

Question 144.

A – (iii), B – (i), C – (ii), D – (iv)

Question 145.
If AB is a chord of length 6 cm, of a circle of radius 5 cm, the tangents at A and B intersects at a point X, then match the column.

A – (iv), B – (i), C – (ii), D – (iii)

Question 146.
The length of the minutes hand of a clock is 7 cm then how much distance does it cover in one hour ?
44 cm

Question 147.
Draw a rough diagram of minor seg¬ment of a circle and shade it.

Question 148.
How many tangents can be drawn on a circle from a point outside the circle?
Solution:

Only two tangents can be drawn from an external point to the circle i.e., PA, PB are the two tangents to the circle.

Question 149.
What is the angle between the radius and tangent at the point of contact ?
