Worked practice questions

A line that touches a circle at exactly one point is called a:

  1. Tangent
  2. Tandem
  3. Tension
  4. Terminal
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Tangent

1. The line meets the circle without cutting through it. 2. Only one common point exists. 3. That line is a tangent. _Source: syllabus Mathematics Class X, Chapter 10, Circles._

A line that cuts a circle at two points is called a:

  1. Series
  2. Secant
  3. Segment
  4. Sector
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Secant

A tangent is the special case of a secant in which the two end points of the chord:

  1. Coincide
  2. Separate
  3. Disappear
  4. Duplicate
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Coincide

1. Sliding a secant outward shortens its chord. 2. At the limit both ends meet at one point. 3. So the end points coincide. _Source: syllabus Mathematics Class X, Chapter 10, Circles._
