reason (R). Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true and reason (R) is the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(b) Both assertion (A) and reason (R) are true but reason (R) is not the correct explanation of assertion (A).
(c) Assertion (A) is true but reason (R) is false.

9. Assertion (A): The length of the tangent drawn from a point 8 cm away from the centre of circle
of radius 6 cm is 2√7 cm.
Reason (R): If the angle between two radii of a circle is 130°, then the angle between the
tangents at the end points of radii at their point of intersection is 50°.

= CD. (1)
19. A Ferris wheel (or a big wheel in the United Kingdom) is an amusement ride consisting of a
rotating upright wheel with multiple passenger carrying components (commonly referred to as
passenger cars, cabins, tubs, capsules, gondolas, or pods) attached to the rim in such a way that
as the wheel turns, they are kept upright, usually by gravity.

After taking a ride in Ferris wheel, Monika came out from the crowd and was observing her
friends who were enjoying the ride. She was curious about the different angles and measures that
the wheel will form. She forms the figure as given below.
20. Varun has been selected by his School to design logo for Sports Day T-shirts for students and
staff. The logo is designed in different geometry and different colours according to the theme. In
given figure, a circle with centre O is inscribed in a ∆ABC, such that it touches the sides AB, BC
and CA at points D, E and F respectively. The lengths of sides AB, BC and CA are 12 cm, 8 cm
and 10 cm respectively.
