Answer

57. Given,

In ΔAOB and ΔCOD,

∠AOB = ∠COD [Vertically opposite angle are equal]

∠OAB = ∠OCD [Alternate interior angle are equal]

∴ ΔAOB ∼ ΔCOD (By A.A. axiom)

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

58. Given,

ΔAOB ∼ ΔCOD.Since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the corresponding sides are equal,

CDAB=OCOA=ODOB\dfrac{CD}{AB} = \dfrac{OC}{OA} = \dfrac{OD}{OB}

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

59. Given,

ΔAOB ∼ ΔCOD. Since the triangles are similar, the ratios the corresponding sides are equal,

Ratio = CDAB=816=12\dfrac{CD}{AB} = \dfrac{8}{16} = \dfrac{1}{2} = 1 : 2.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.

60. Given,

ΔAOB ∼ ΔCOD. Since the triangles are similar, the ratios the corresponding sides are equal,

CDAD=OCOA=ODOB=12\dfrac{CD}{AD} = \dfrac{OC}{OA} = \dfrac{OD}{OB} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Solving,

OCOA=12\dfrac{OC}{OA} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Substituting values we get :

(x1)11=122×(x1)=112x2=112x=11+22x=13x=132x=6.5\Rightarrow \dfrac{(x - 1)}{11} = \dfrac{1}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times (x - 1) = 11 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x - 2 = 11 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x = 11 + 2 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2x = 13 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{13}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 6.5

Solving,

ODOB=12\dfrac{OD}{OB} = \dfrac{1}{2}

Substituting values we get :

5(y+3)=122×5=(y+3)10=y+3y=103y=7.\Rightarrow \dfrac{5}{(y + 3)} = \dfrac{1}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 2 \times 5 = (y + 3) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 10 = y + 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = 10 - 3 \\[1em] \Rightarrow y = 7.

x = 6.5, y = 7

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
