must be a
a) rectangle
b) square
c) cyclic quadrilateral
d) rhombus
Explanation: Since the diagonals intersect at right angles, PQRS is a rhombus.

a) (1/2, 1/2)
b) (1/3, 1/3)
c) (0, 0)
d) (1/4, 1/4)
Explanation: Since the triangle is right angled formed by the line x = 0, y = 0 and x + y = 1 the orthocentre lies at the vertex (0, 0), the point of intersection of the perpendicular lines x = 0 and y = 0
8. The straight lines x + y = 0, 3x + y – 4 =

a) isosceles
b) equilateral
c) right angled
d) none of these
Explanation: Vertices of the triangle are
9.If sum of the distances of a point from
two perpendicular lines in a plane is 1, then its locus is
a) a square
b) a circle
c) a straight line
d) two intersecting lines
Explanation: Let the two perpendicular lines be taken as the coordinate axes. If (h, k) be any point on the locus, then according to the given condition | h | + | k | = 1
locus of (h, k) is | x | + | y | = 1
This consists of four line segments which enclose a square
10. If the circumcentre of a triangle lies at
the origin and centroid is the middle point of the line
joining the points \[\left(a^{2}+1,a^{2}+1\right)\] and (2a, – 2a), then the
orthocentre lies on the line.
a) \[y=\left(a^{2}+1\right)x\]
b) y = 2ax
c) x + y = 0
d) \[\left(a-1\right)^{2}x-\left(a+1\right)^{2}y=0\]
Explanation: We know from geometry that the circumcentre, centroid and orthocentre of a triangle lie on a line. So the orthocentre of the triangle lies on the line joining the circumcentre (0, 0) and the centroid
