SECTION – A
Questions 1 to 10 carry 1 mark each.
- The point (−6, 4) lies in:
(a) First quadrant (b) Second quadrant (c) Third quadrant (d) Fourth quadrant - Which point lies on the y-axis?
(a) (7, 0) (b) (0, −9) (c) (3, 5) (d) (−2, 6) - Which point is equidistant from the x-axis and y-axis?
(a) (2, 5) (b) (−4, −4) (c) (6, 1) (d) (0, 3) - If a point is 5 units away from the origin along the y-axis, it can be:
(a) (5, 0) or (−5, 0) (b) (0, 5) or (0, −5) (c) (2, 2) or (−2, −2) (d) (4, 4) or (−4, −4) - Which point lies in the fourth quadrant?
(a) (−3, 7) (b) (5, −2) (c) (−6, −1) (d) (4, 8) - The distance between points (3, −5) and (3, 6) is:
(a) 9 (b) 10 (c) 11 (d) 12 - Which point is the midpoint of (−4, 6) and (2, 0)?
(a) (−1, 3) (b) (−2, 4) (c) (1, 2) (d) (0, 3) - Which point lies in the third quadrant?
(a) (5, 2) (b) (−7, −3) (c) (−2, 6) (d) (8, −4) - Assertion (A): Distance between (2, 5) and (2, 13) is 8.
Reason (R): If two points have the same x-coordinate, the distance equals the difference of the y-coordinates.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true. - Assertion (A): Midpoint of (3, 7) and (9, 1) is (6, 4).
Reason (R): Midpoint formula is (x₁+x₂)/2 , (y₁+y₂)/2.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
- The coordinates of two villages are A(4, 6) and B(−2, 8). Find the distance between the two villages.
- A garden has two gates at P(3, 2) and Q(9, 10). Find the distance a gardener walks along the straight path joining the gates.
- Find the point on the x-axis which is equidistant from (3, −4) and (−3, 8).
- Find the value(s) of y such that the distance between P(1, −2) and Q(9, y) is 10 units.
SECTION – C
Questions 15 to 17 carry 3 marks each.
- Check whether the points A(1, 2), B(4, 6), C(7, 10) are collinear.
- Show that the triangle with vertices A(2, 3), B(6, 3), C(6, 7) is right-angled.
- Find the midpoint of A(−3, 5) and B(7, 11), and verify that the midpoint divides the line segment equally.
SECTION – D
Question 18 carries 5 marks.
- Show that the points A(2, 2), B(6, 2), C(6, 6), D(2, 6) are the vertices of a square.
SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)
Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.
19. Case Study 1 – Community Park Fountain
A town is planning to install a fountain at a central spot so that it is equidistant from three nearby community centers located at A(3, 2), B(9, 2), and C(6, 8) on the town’s coordinate map. The planning committee wants to check whether these three centers lie in a straight line. If not, the committee wants to find the midpoint of the segment joining the two farthest centers to decide the fountain’s location.
Fig. 1 – Positions of community centers A, B and C
Answer the following questions:
- Check whether the points A, B, C are collinear. (2)
- Identify the two farthest community centers. (1)
- Find the midpoint of the line joining the two farthest centers. (1)
OR
(c) Calculate the distance between the two farthest centers and give the coordinates of the fountain. (1)
20. Case Study 2 – Right-Angled Sports Field
A college is marking out a triangular section of a sports field with corners at P(2, 3), Q(2, 9), and R(8, 3) on the campus coordinate map. The sports director wants to confirm whether the triangle PQR is right-angled and to find the midpoint of the hypotenuse to place a scoreboard at the center.

Answer the following questions:
- Verify whether triangle PQR is right-angled. (2)
- Determine which side is the hypotenuse. (1)
- Find the midpoint of the hypotenuse. (1)
