April 16, 2019 by Fazal Leave a Comment

RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise is part of RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths. Here we have given Rajasthan Board RBSE Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise.

Rajasthan Board RBSE Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise

Question 1.
In fig. DE || BC, AD = 4 cm, DB = 6 cm (RBSESolutions.com) and AE = 5 cm then EC will be :
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 1
(A) 6.5 cm
(B) 7.0 cm
(C) 7.5 cm
(D) 8.0 cm
Solution :
AD = 4 cm
AE = 5 cm
BD = 6 cm
In ∆ABC
BC || DE
∴ \(\frac { AD }{ BD }\) = \(\frac { AE }{ CE }\) (By Basic Prop. Theorem)
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 2
⇒ \(\frac { 4 }{ 6 }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ CE }\)
⇒ CE = \(\frac { 6\times 5 }{ 4 } \)
⇒ CE = 7.5 cm
Hence option (C) is correct.

RBSE Solutions

Question 2.
In fig. AD is (RBSESolutions.com) bisector of ∠A, AB = 6 cm, BD = 8 cm, DC = 6 cm, then AC will be :
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 3
(A) 4.0 cm
(B) 4.5 cm
(C) 5 cm
(D) 5.5 cm
Solution :
In ∆ABC
AD is bisector of ∠A
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { BD }{ DC }\) (By Basic Prop. Theorem)
⇒ \(\frac { 6 }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 6 }\)
⇒ 8 AC = 6 × 6
⇒ AC = \(\frac { 6\times 6 }{ 8 } \)
AC = 4.5 cm
Thus, (B) is correct option.

Question 3.
In fig. it DE || BC then x (RBSESolutions.com) will be :
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 4
(A) \(\sqrt { 5 }\)
(B) \(\sqrt { 6 }\)
(C) \(\sqrt { 3 }\)
(D) \(\sqrt { 7 }\)
Solution :
In ΔABC
DE || BC
∴ \(\frac { AD }{ BD }\) = \(\frac { AE }{ CE }\)
⇒ \(\frac { x+4 }{ x+3 }\) = \(\frac { 2x-1 }{ x+1 }\) (By cross multiplication method)
⇒ (x + 4)(x + 1) = (x + 3)(2x – 1)
⇒ x2 + 4x + x + 4 = 2x2 – x + 6x – 3
⇒ x2 + 5x + 4 = 2x2 + 5x – 3
⇒ x2 = 7
⇒ x = ± \(\sqrt { 7 }\)
Negative value of x is not possible.
∴ x = \(\sqrt { 7 }\)
Thus (D) is correct.

Question 4.
In fig. if AB = 34 cm, BD = 4 cm, BC = 10 cm
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 5
(A) 5.1 cm
(B) 3.4 cm
(C) 6 cm
(D) 5.3 cm
Solution :
In ΔABC
AD is bisector of (RBSESolutions.com) vertex angle A.
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { BD }{ CD }\)
⇒ \(\frac { AD }{ BD }\) = \(\frac { BD }{ BC-BD }\)
⇒ \(\frac { 3.4 }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 10-4 }\)
⇒ \(\frac { 3.4 }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 6 }\)
⇒ AC = \(\frac { 6\times 3.4 }{ 4 } \)
⇒ AC = 5.1 cm
Thus (A) is correct option.

RBSE Solutions

Question 5.
The areas of two similar (RBSESolutions.com) triangle are 25 cm2 and 36 cm2 respectively. If median of smaller triangle be 10 cm then corresponding median of larger triangle will be :
(A) 12 cm
(B) 15 cm .
(C) 10 cm
(D) 18 cm
Solution :
We know that areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding medians :
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 6
Thus (A) is correct option.

Question 6.
In a trapezium ABCD, AB || CD and (RBSESolutions.com) the diagonals meet at point O. If AB = 6 cm and DC = 3 cm, then ratio of ar (∆AOB) and ar(∆COD) will be :
(A) 4 : 1
(B) 1 : 2
(C) 2 : 1
(D) 1 : 4
Solution :
∆AOB and ∆COD
∠AOB = ∠COD (Vertically opposite angles)
AB || CD
∠ABO = ∠CDO (Alternate angles)
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 7
By A-A similarity
ΔAOB ~ ΔCOD
We know that ratio of two similar (RBSESolutions.com) triangles is equal to ratio- of squares of their corresponding sides.
Thus, \(\frac { ar.\triangle AOB }{ ar.\triangle COD } =\frac { { AB }^{ 2 } }{ { CD }^{ 2 } }\)
⇒ \(\frac { ar.\triangle AOB }{ ar.\triangle COD } =\frac { { 6 }^{ 2 } }{ { 3 }^{ 2 } }\)
⇒ \(\frac { ar.\triangle AOB }{ ar.\triangle COD }\) = \(\frac { 36 }{ 9 }\)
⇒ \(\frac { ar.\triangle AOB }{ ar.\triangle COD }\) = \(\frac { 4 }{ 1 }\)
⇒ \(\frac { ar.\triangle AOB }{ ar.\triangle COD }\) = 4 : 1
Thus, required raito will be 4 : 1.
Thus (A) is correct option.

Question 7.
If in ∆ABC and ∆DEF ∠A = 50°, ∠B = 70°, ∠C = 60°, ∠D = 60°, ∠E = 70°, and ∠F = 50° then which one is correct ?
(A) ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
(B) ∆ABC ~ ∆EDF
(C) ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
(D) ∆ABC ~ ∆FED
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 8
Solution :
∠A = ∠F = 50°
∠B = ∠E = 70°
∠C = ∠D = 60°
∴ ∆ABC ~ ∆FED
Thus, option (D) is correct.

Question 8.
If ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF and AB = 10 cm (RBSESolutions.com) then ar (∆ABC) will be ar (∆DEF).
(A) 25 : 16
(B) 16 : 25
(C) 4 : 5
(D) 5 : 4
Solution : ∆ABC ~ ∆DEF
\(\frac { ar.\triangle ABC }{ ar.\triangle DEF } =\frac { { AB }^{ 2 } }{ { DE }^{ 2 } }\)
= \({ \left( \frac { 10 }{ 8 } \right) }^{ 2 }\)
= \(\frac { 25 }{ 16 }\)
ar. (∆ABC) : ar.(∆DEF) = 25 : 16
Hence (A) is correct.

Question 9.
The point D and E lies on sides AB and AC of ∆ABC (RBSESolutions.com) such that DE || BC and AD = 8 cm, AB = 12 cm and AE = 12 cm, then CE will be :
(A) 6 cm
(B) 18 cm
(C) 9 cm
(D) 15 cm
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 9
Solution :
In ∆ABC
DE || BC
∴ \(\frac { AD }{ BD }\) = \(\frac { AE }{ CE }\) (Basic Prop. Theorem)
\(\frac { AD }{ AB-AD }\) = \(\frac { AE }{ CE }\)
⇒ \(\frac { 8 }{ 12-8 }\) = \(\frac { 12 }{ CE }\)
⇒ \(\frac { 8 }{ 4 }\) = \(\frac { 12 }{ CE }\)
⇒ 8 × CE = 12 × 4
⇒ CE = \(\frac { 12\times 4 }{ 8 } \)
⇒ CE = 6 cm
Thus (A) is correct option.

Question 10.
The shadow of a 12 m long vertical rod on (RBSESolutions.com) earth is 8 cm long. At the same time if shadow of tower in 40 m long, then height of pillar will be :
(A) 60 m
(B) 60 cm
(C) 40 cm
(D) 80 cm
Solution :
Let AB is vertical rod and BC is its shadow PQ is tower and CQ is its shadow.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 10
In ∆ABC and ∆PQC
∠ACB = ∠PCQ (Common)
∠ABC = ∠PQC (each 90°)
By AA similarity criterion
∆ABC ~ ∆PQC
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ PQ }\) = \(\frac { BC }{ QC }\) (∵ corresponding sides os (RBSESolutions.com) similar triangle are proportional)
⇒ \(\frac { 12 }{ PQ }\) = \(\frac { 8 }{ 40 }\)
∴ PQ = \(\frac { 40\times 12 }{ 8 } \)
= 5 × 12 = 60 m
Thus, (A) is correct.

Question 11.
If in ΔABCD, is any point on BC such that \(\frac { AB }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { BD }{ DC }\) and ∠B = 70°, ∠C = 50°, then find ∠BAD.
Solution :
In ∆ABC
∠B = 70°, ∠C = 50° (given)
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 11
∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 180° – (∠B + ∠C)
⇒ ∠A = 180° – (70° + 50°)
⇒ ∠A = 180° – 120°
⇒ ∠A = 60°
Thus, \(\frac { AB }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { BD }{ DC }\) (given)
∴ ∆ABD ~ ∆ADC
⇒ ∠BAD and ∠DAC will be equal (RBSESolutions.com) to each other.
2∠BAD = 60°
∠BAD = \(\frac { { 60 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 } \)
∠BAD = 30°

Question 12.
In, ∆ABC DE || BC and AD = 6 cm, DE = 9 cm and AE = 8 cm, then find AC.
Solution :
In ∆ABC
DE || BC
∴ \(\frac { AD }{ DB }\) = \(\frac { AE }{ EC }\) (By Basic Theorem)
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 12
⇒ \(\frac { 6 }{ 9 }\) = \(\frac { 8 }{ CE }\)
⇒ 6 × CE = 9 × 8
⇒ CE = \(\frac { 8\times 9 }{ 6 } \)
⇒ CE = 12 cm
∴ AC = AE + CE
= (8 + 12) cm
= 20 cm
Thus, AC = 20 cm

Question 13.
In ∆ABC if AD of is (RBSESolutions.com) bisector of ∠A and AB = 8 cm, BD = 5 cm and DC = 4 cm. then find AC.
Solution :
In ∆ABC
AD, bisect vertex angle A
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 13
∴ ∠BAD = ∠CAD
∴ \(\frac { AB }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { BD }{ DC }\)
⇒ \(\frac { 8 }{ AC }\) = \(\frac { 5 }{ 4 }\)
⇒ 5 AC = 8 × 4
⇒ AC = \(\frac { 32 }{ 5 }\)
⇒ AC = 6.4 cm

Question 14.
If heights of two triangles are in the ratio 4 : 9, then find the ratio of their areas.
Solution :
We know that ratio of areas of two (RBSESolutions.com) similar triangles is equal to the ratio of square of their corresponding heights.
RBSE Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 11 Similarity Miscellaneous Exercise 14
Let ∆ABC and ∆DEF are similar and AE and DN are their (RBSESolutions.com) corresponding heights.
∴ Ratio of the area of two triangle will be 16 : 81.
