  1. Q1. Three points are collinear if the distances satisfy (NCERT):

    • A.their product is 0
    • B.largest = sum of the other two
    • C.squares equal
    • D.all equal

    Answer: B. largest = sum of the other two

    Asked for the unknown; data is laid out in the stem. By apply the distance formula d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2) to the two given points. apply the distance formula d = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2) to the two given points. substitute the coordinates and square the differences. Putting it together option B) largest = sum of the other two. Others fail: option A) 'their product is 0' is incorrect: Distances are positive; option C) 'squares equal' doesn't hold - Use AB + BC = AC.

  2. Q2. If (k,0) is equidistant from (1,5) and (-4,3), then... the method is (NCERT):

    • A.use the area formula
    • B.equate the squared distances and solve k
    • C.use the midpoint
    • D.guess k

    Answer: B. equate the squared distances and solve k

  3. Q3. Find the distance between the points (3, 4) and (9, 12); then state whether it is a rational number.

    • A.10, irrational
    • B.100, rational
    • C.14, rational
    • D.10, rational

    Answer: D. 10, rational
