Sample Chapter MCQs

Showing 10 sample questions from this chapter.

01 Mathematics
The point (-5, 6) lies in the:
A first quadrant
B third quadrant
C second quadrant
D fourth quadrant
02 Mathematics
A point with both coordinates negative lies in the third quadrant.
A True
B False
03 Mathematics
The distance of the point (-7, 4) from the y-axis is 7 units. Reason: Distance from the y-axis depends on the magnitude of the x-coordinate.
A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason correctly explains Assertion
B Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason does not correctly explain Assertion
C Assertion is true but Reason is false
D Assertion is false but Reason is true
04 Mathematics
The origin is the point where the coordinate axes intersect. Reason: The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).
A Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason correctly explains Assertion
B Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason does not correctly explain Assertion
