In each of questions 1 to 16, out of four options, only one is correct. Write the correct answer.
1. Number of lines passing through five points such that no three of them are collinear is
(A) 10 (B) 5 (C) 20 (D) 8
Solution:-
(A) 10
From the question it is given that, number of lines passing through five points.
We know that, we need tow points to form a line.
Therefore, number of lines passing through five points = 5 × 2
= 10
2. The number of diagonals in a heptagon is
(A) 21 (B) 42 (C) 7 (D) 14
Solution:-
(D) 14
From the formula, diagonal = n(n – 3)/2
Where n = number of sides in a polygon.
There are 7 sides in a heptagon.
So, d = 7(7 – 3)/2
= 7(4)/2
= 28/2
= 14
3. Number of line segments in Fig. 2.5 is
(A) 5 (B) 10 (C) 15 (D) 20

4. Measures of the two angles between hour and minute hands of a clock at 9 O’ clock are
(A) 60°, 300° (B) 270°, 90°
(C) 75°, 285° (D) 30°, 330°
Solution:-
(B) 270°, 90°
We know that, measure of complete angle of clock is 360o.
From the figure, we can say that angle at 2 = (9/12) × 360o= 270o
Then, angle at 1= 360o – 270o
= 90o
Therefore, measures of the two angles between hour and minute hands of a clock at 9 O’ clock are 270o and 90o.

(C) less than 45° (D) 90°
Solution:-
(B) 45o
As per the condition given the question, point A is shifted to point B along the ray PX such that PB = 2PA.

(A) 2 (B) 3 (C) 4 (D) 5
Solution:-
(c) 4
Obtuse angle is defined as an angle formed greater than 90o and less than 180o.
From the above figure,
Angle are, ∠ROP = ∠ROQ + ∠QOP
= 65O + 30O
= 95O
∠SOP = ∠ROQ + ∠QOP + ∠SOR
= 65O + 30O + 45O
= 140O
∠SOQ = ∠SOR + ∠ROQ
= 45O + 65O
= 110O
∠TOQ = ∠TOS + ∠SOR + ∠ROQ
= 20O + 45O + 65O
