Questions Related to constructions

Construct a $\triangle ABC$ in which:
$AB= 5.4\ cm$, $\angle CAB= 45^{0}$ and $AC\, +\, BC= 9\ cm$. Then the length of $AC$ (in $cm.$) is:

  1. $4$

  2. $7$

  3. $5$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C

The construction of $\Delta LMN$ when $MN=7$ $cm$ and $m\angle M=45^\circ$ is not possible when difference of $LM$ and $LN$ is equal to:

  1. $4.5$

  2. $5.5$

  3. $6.5$

  4. $7.5$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The triangle inequality rule states that the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.


In $\triangle LMN$, if $MN=7 \ cm$ then $LM-LN<7 \ cm$

This is not possible, from the given options, if $LM-LN=7.5 \ cm$

Option D.

Which of the following could be the value of $AC-BC$ in the construction of a triangle $ABC$ in which base $AB = 5 cm, \angle A = 30^{\circ}$?

  1. $5.5$

  2. $5$

  3. $2.5$

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The triangle inequality rule states that the length of a side of a triangle is less than the sum of the lengths of the other two sides and greater than the difference of the lengths of the other two sides.


In $\triangle ABC$, if $AB=5 \ cm$ then $AC-BC<5 \ cm$

This is not, from the given options, if $AC-BC=2.5 \ cm$

Option C

The construction of $\Delta LMN$ when $MN=6$ $cm$ and $m\angle M=45^\circ$ is not possible when difference between $LM$ and $LN$ is equal to:

  1. $6.9$ $cm$

  2. $5.2$ $cm$

  3. $5$ $cm$

  4. $4$ $cm$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In a triangle sum of length of $2$ sides is $>$ third side.

or 

Difference of length of two sides is less than third side.

$LM,MN,NL$ are the length of sides.

$|LM-NL|<MN$

$|LM-NL|<6$

So construction of triangle is not possible as $|LM-NL|=6.9cm$

ABC is a triangle, the point P is on side BC such that $3\bar{BP}=2\bar{PC}$, the point Q is on the line $\bar{CA}$ such that $4\bar{CQ}=\bar{QA}$. If R is the common point $\bar{AP}$ & $\bar{BQ}$, then the ratio in which the fine joining CR divides $\bar{AB}$ is?

  1. $2:5$

  2. $3:8$

  3. $4:1$

  4. $6:1$


Correct Option: A

If a straight line $y-x=2$ divides the region ${x}^{2}+{y}^{2}\le 4$ into two parts, then the ratio of the area of the smaller part to the area of the greater part is 

  1. $\pi-2 : 3\pi+2$

  2. $3\pi-4 : \pi+4$

  3. $\pi-3 : 3\pi+3$

  4. $3\pi-8 : \pi+8$


Correct Option: A

The line joining points $(3,5)$ and $(2,7)$ is divided by $X-$ axis in the ratio.

  1. $5:7$

  2. $3:2$

  3. $-5:7$

  4. $-3:2$


Correct Option: A

The point $(\dfrac{7}{4},\dfrac{7}{8})$ divides the line segment joining the points (4,-1) and (-2,4) internally in the ratio 3 : 5.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A

The ratio in which the point (4, 7) divides the line segment joining (1, 4) and (11, 14) is 

  1. 2 : 7

  2. 3 : 7

  3. 4 : 5

  4. 3 : 8


Correct Option: A

A square sheet of paper $ABCD$ is so folded that $B$ falls on the mid point $M$ of $CD$. The crease will divide $BC$ in the ratio :

  1. $7:4$

  2. $5:3$

  3. $8:5$

  4. $4:1$


Correct Option: A
