MCQ BASED ON CIRCLE CLASS XI

Question 1

a) x2 + y2 = 25
b) x2 + y2 = 5
c) x2 = 25
d) y2 = 25

a) inside circle
b) outside circle
c) on the circle
d) either inside or outside

Answer c

Question 3

Find the equation of circle with centre at (2, 5) and radius 5 units.
a) x2 + y2   + 4x - 10y + 4 = 0
b) x2 + y2  - 4x - 10y + 4 = 0
c) x2 + y2  + 4x + 10y + 4 = 0
d) x2 + y2  + 4x - 10y – 4 = 0

Answer b

Question 4

Find the centre of the circle with equation x2 + y2 - 4x - 10y + 4 = 0.
a) (-2, 5)
b) (-2, -5)
c) (2, -5)
d) (2, 5)

Answer: d
Explanation: Comparing the equation with general form x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, we get
2g = - 4 ⇒ g = - 2
2f = -10 
 f = - 5
c = 4
Centre is at (-g, -f) i.e. (2, 5).

Question 5

Find the radius of the circle with equation x2 + y2 - 4x - 10y + 4 = 0.
a) 25 units
b) 20 units
c) 5 units
d) 10 units

Answer: c

Question 6

The centre of the circle 4x2 + 4y2 – 8x + 12y – 25 = 0 is

a) (-2, 3)

b) (1, -3/2)

c) (-4, 6)

d) (4, -6)

Answer: (b) (1, -3/2)

Explanation:

Given circle equation: 4x2 + 4y2 – 8x + 12y – 25 = 0

x2 + y2 – (8x/4) + (12y/4) – (25/4) = 0

x2 +y2 -2x +3y -(25/4) = 0 …(1)

As we know that the general equation of a circle is x+ y+ 2gx + 2fy + c = 0, and the centre of the circle = (-g, -f)

Hence, by comparing equation (1) and the general equation,

2g = -2,   g = -1

2f = 3,     f = 3/2

Now, substitute the values in the centre of the circle (-g, -f), we get,

Centre = (1, -3/2).

Question 7

If a circle pass through (2, 0) and (0, 4) and centre at x-axis then find the radius of the circle.
a) 25 units
b) 20 units
c) 5 units
d) 10 units

Answer: c
Explanation: Equation of circle with centre at x-axis (a, 0) and radius r units is
(x - a)2 + (y)2 = r2
⇒ (2 - a)2 + (0)2 = r2
And (0 - a)2 + (4)2 = r2
⇒ (a - 2)2 = a2 + 42  (- 2)(2a - 2) =16  a – 1 = - 4  a = - 3

So, r2 = (2 + 3)2 = 5 2  ⇒ r = 5 units.

a) (0, 2)

b) (2, 0)

c) (0, -2)

d) (-2, 0)

Answer: (b) (2, 0)

Explanation:

Given parabola equation y2 = 8x …(1)

Here, the coefficient of x is positive and the standard form of parabola is y2 = 4ax …(2)

Comparing (1) and (2), we get

4a = 8

a = 8/4 = 2

We know that the focus of parabolic equation y2 = 4ax is (a, 0).

Therefore, the focus of the parabola y2 =8x is (2, 0).

Question 5

The length of the latus rectum of x2 = -9y is equal to

a)  3 units

b) - 3 units

c)  9/4 units

d)  9 units

Answer: (d) 9 units

Explanation:

Given parabola equation: x2 = - 9y …(1)

Since the coefficient of y is negative, the parabola opens downwards.

The general equation of parabola is x= - 4ay…(2)

Comparing (1) and (2), we get

-4a = -9

a = 9/4

We know that the length of latus rectum = 4a = 4(9/4) = 9.

Therefore, the length of the latus rectum of x2 = -9y is equal to 9 units.

b) 4 units
c) 8 units
d) 10 units

Answer d

Question 7

For the ellipse 3x+ 4y2 = 12, the length of the latus rectum is:

a)  2/5
b)  3/5
c)  3
d) 4

Answer: (c) 3

Explanation:

Given ellipse equation: 3x+ 4y2 = 12

The given equation can be written as (x2/4) + (y2/3) = 1…(1)

Now, compare the given equation with the standard ellipse equation: (x2/a2) + (y2/b2) = 1, we get

a = 2 and b = √3

Therefore, a > b.

If a>b, then the length of latus rectum is 2b2/a

Substituting the values in the formula, we get

Length of latus rectum = [2(√3)2] /2 = 3

a) 5 units
b) 4 units

a) x = ±3
b) y = ±3
c) x = ±2
d) y = ±2

Answer a

Question 10

In an ellipse, the distance between its foci is 6 and the minor axis is 8, then its eccentricity is

a) 1/2

b)  1/5

c)   3/5

d)   4/5

Answer: (c) 3/5

Explanation:

Given that the minor axis of ellipse is 8.(i. e) 2b = 8. So, b=4.

Also, the distance between its foci is 6. (i. e) 2ae = 6

Therefore, ae = 6/2 = 3

We know that b2 = a2(1-e2)

b2 = a2 – a2e2

b2 = a2 – (ae)2

Now, substitute the values to find the value of a.

(4)2 = a2 -(3)2

16 = a2 – 9

a2 = 16+9 = 25.

So, a = 5.

The formula to calculate the eccentricity of ellipse is e = √[1-(b2/a2)]

e = √[1-(42/52)]

e = √[(25-16)/25]

e = √(9/25) = 3/5.

(a) x²/9 + y²/5 = 1
(b) x²/9 + y2 /25 = 1
(c) x²/5 + y²/9 = 1
(d) x²/25 + y²/9 = 1

Answer d
