MCQs for Coordinate Geometry
1.The points (- 1, – 2), (1, 0), (- 1, 2), (- 3, 0) forms a quadrilateral of type:
(a)Square
(b)Rectangle
(c)Parallelogram
(d)Rhombus
Answer: a
Explanation: Let A(- 1, – 2), B(1, 0), C(- 1, 2) and D(- 3, 0) are the four vertices of quadrilateral.
By distance formula, we know:
Hence, the length of the sides = 2√2
Diagonals = 4
Hence, the given points form a square.
2.If the distance between the points A(2, -2) and B(-1, x) is equal to 5, then the value of x is:
(a)2
(b)-2
(c)1
(d)-1
Answer: a
Explanation: By distance formula, we know:
9+(x+2)2=25
(2+x)2=16
Take square root on both the sides,
2+x=4
x=2
3.The midpoints of a line segment joining two points A(2, 4) and B(-2, -4)
(a) (-2,4)
(b) (2,-4)
(c) (0, 0)
(d) (-2,-4)
Answer: c
Explanation: As per midpoint formula, we know;
x=[2+(-2)]/2 = 0/2 = 0
y=[4+(-4)]/2=0/2=0
Hence, (0,0) is the midpoint of of AB.
4.The distance of point A(2, 4) from x-axis is
(a)2
(b)4
(c)-2
(d)-4
Answer: b
Explanation: Distance of a point from x-axis is equal to the ordinate of the point.
5.The distance between the points P(0, 2) and Q(6, 0) is
(a)4√10
(b)2√10
(c)√10
(d)20
Answer: b
Explanation: By distance formula we know:
PQ = √[(6-0)2+(0-2)2]
PQ = √(62+22)
PQ=√(36+4)
PQ=√40=2√10
6.If O(p/3, 4) is the midpoint of the line segment joining the points P(-6, 5) and Q(-2, 3). The value of p is:
(a)7/2
(b)-12
(c)4
(d)-4
Answer: b
Explanation: Since, (p/3, 4) is the midpoint of line segment PQ, thus;
p/3 = (-6-2)/2
p/3 = -8/2
p/3 = -4
p= -12
Therefore, the value of p is -12.
7.The points which divides the line segment of points P(-1, 7) and (4, -3) in the ratio of 2:3 is:
(a)(-1, 3)
(b)(-1, -3)
(c)(1, -3)
(d)(1, 3)
Answer: d
Explanation: By section formula we know:
x=[(2.4)+(3.(-1))]/(2+3) = (8-3)/5 = 1
y=[(2.(-3))+(3.7)]/(2+3) = (-6+21)/5 = 3
Hence, the required point is (1,3)
8.The ratio in which the line segment joining the points P(-3, 10) and Q(6, – 8) is divided by O(-1, 6) is:
(a)1:3
(b)3:4
(c)2:7
(d)2:5
Answer: c
Explanation: Let the ratio in which the line segment joining P( -3, 10) and Q(6, -8) is divided by point O( -1, 6) be k :1.
So, -1 = ( 6k-3)/(k+1)
–k – 1 = 6k -3
7k = 2
k = 2/7
Hence, the required ratio is 2:7.
9.The coordinates of a point P, where PQ is the diameter of circle whose centre is (2, – 3) and Q is (1, 4) is:
(a)(3, -10)
(b)(2, -10)
(c)(-3, 10)
(d)(-2, 10)
Answer: a
Explanation: By midpoint formula, we know;
[(x+1)/2,(y+4)/2] = (2,-3) (Since, O is the midpoint of PQ)
(x+1)/2 = 2
x+1=4
x=3
(y+4)/2 = -3
y+4=-6
y=-10
So, the coordinates of point P is (3, -10).
10.The area of a rhombus if its vertices are (3, 0), (4, 5), (-1, 4) and (-2,-1) taken in order, is:
(a)12 sq.unit
(b)24 sq.unit
(c)30 sq.unit
(d)32 sq.unit
Answer: 24
Explanation: To find the area of the rhombus, we need to find the length of its diagonals and use the below formula:
Area = ½ (Diagonal1)(Diagonal2)
Area = (1/2 ) (AC)(BD)
Diagonal1=√[(3-(-1))2+(0-4)2]= 4√2
Diagonal2 = √[(4-(-2))2+(5-(-1))2]=6√2
Area = ½ x 4√2 x 6√2 = 24 sq.unit.
