Which of the following statement is not true?
(a) A line which intersect a circle in tow points, is called secant of the circle.
(b)A line intersecting a circle at one point only, is called a tangent to the circle.
(c) The point at which a line touches the circle, is called the point of contact.
(d) A tangent to the circle can be drawn form a point inside the circle.

Answer: (d) A tangent to the circle can be drawn form a point inside the circle.

Sol:

A tangent to the circle can be drawn from a point Inside the circle.

This statement is false because tangents are the lines drawn from an external point to the circle that touch the circle at one point.

Assertion-and-Reason Type

Each question consists of two statements, namely, Assertion (A) and Reason (R). For selecting the correct answer, use the following code:

  • Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  • Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not a correct explanation of Assertion (A).
  • Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is
  • Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is
