Optional Mathematics Test Series - 1

Chapter: Locus | Class: 9 | Format: MCQ

1. Does the point (3, 4) lie on the circle x² + y² = 25?

a) Yes

b) No

c) Can't say

d) None

Correct Answer: a) Yes

Explanation: Substitute x=3 and y=4 into the equation: 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25. So it satisfies the equation.

2. What is the locus of a point equidistant from points A(2, 3) and B(6, 3)?

a) x = 4

b) y = 3

c) x = 2

d) y = 6

Correct Answer: a) x = 4

Explanation: Midpoint of A and B is (4, 3). Locus of equidistant points from A and B lies on perpendicular

bisector: x = 4.

3. What is the locus of a point P such that it is twice as far from A(0, 0) as from B(4, 0)?

a) x = 2

b) x = 8

c) x² + y² = 64

d) 3x2+3y2-32x+64=0

Correct Answer: d)

Explanation: The condition defines the locus where distance from A is twice that from B, so PA = 2×PB is the

equation.
4. What is the locus of a point such that its distance from A(0, 0) is thrice its distance from B(3, 0)?

a) 7x2+7y2-32x+81=0

b) 8x2+8y2-32x+81=0

c) PB = 3×PA

d) x = 3

Correct Answer: b)

Explanation: According to the given, point P satisfies PA = 3×PB, which forms the required locus.

5. What is the locus of a point such that its distance from A(2, 0) is half its distance from B(6, 0)?

a) y=8

b) 8x2+8y2-32x+81=0

c) 3x2+3y2-4x-20=0

d) x = 4

Correct Answer: c)

Explanation: Given condition is PA is half of PB, i.e., PA = 0.5×PB. This is the equation of the locus.

6. In a right-angled triangle, point A(0, 0), B(4, 0) and C is the right angle. Find locus of C.

a) x² + y²- 4x = 0

b) x2-y2+16=0

c) x = y

d) AB = AC

Correct Answer: b)

Explanation: Using Pythagoras theorem, right angle at C implies AC² + BC² = AB², which defines the locus.

7. Does point (1, 2) lie on the line x + y = 3?

a) Yes

b) No

c) Can't determine

d) None of these
Correct Answer: a) Yes

Explanation: 1 + 2 = 3, so the point satisfies the line equation x + y = 3.

8. What is the locus of a point equidistant from x-axis and y-axis?

a) x = y

b) x + y = 0

c) x = -y

d) x² + y² = 0

Correct Answer: a) x = y

Explanation: Point equidistant from x and y axes lies on the lines x = y and x = -y, but typically x = y is

considered.

9. Which point lies on the locus of points equidistant from A(2,0) and B(-2,0)?

a) (0,0)

b) (2,0)

c) (1,1)

d) (3,0)

Correct Answer: a) (0,0)

Explanation: Midpoint and perpendicular bisector of A and B is x = 0. (0,0) lies on that line.

10. What is the equation of locus of a point always at a fixed distance 'r' from origin?

a) x² + y² = r

b) x + y = r

c) x² + y² = r²

d) x² - y² = r²

Correct Answer: c) x² + y² = r²

Explanation: Circle centered at origin with radius r has equation x² + y² = r².
