Which of the following statements are true and whihc are false? In each case give a valid reason for saying so. (i) p: each radius of a circle is a chord of the circle. (ii) q: the centre of a circle bisects each chord of the circle. (iii) r: circles is a particular case of an ellipse.(iv) s : if x and y are integeres such that `xgty` , then `-xlarry`. (v) t: `sqrt(11)` is a rational number.

Answer» (i) Given statement : each radius of a circle is a chord of the circle.<br> `because` A chord meets the circle at two different points but the radius meets the circle at one point only .<br> `therefore` Any radius of the circle cannot be the chord of the circle .<br> Therefore, given statement is false.<br> (ii) Given statement : the centre of a circle bisects each chord of the circle.<br> `because` only the diameter of a circle is a circle is a chord at which the centre of the circle lie. centre does not lie on the other chords.<br> `therefore` centre does not bisect all chords.<br> therefore, given statement is false.<br> (iii) Given statement: circle is a particular case of an ellipse.<br> Equation of ellipse `: (x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1`<br> If `a=b` then<br> `(x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(a^2)=1rArrx^2+y^2=a^2`<br> which is the equation of a circle.<br> `rArr` circle is a particular case of ellipse.<br> (iv) Given statement : if x and y are integers such that `xgty` then `-xlarry`.<br> from the law of inequations `xgtyrArr-xlarry`<br> therefore , given statement is true.<br> (v) Given statement : `sqrt(11)` is a rational number. every rational number can be expressed in the form `(P)/(q)` where p and q are integers and `q ne 0`.<br> But `sqrt(11)` cannot be expressed in the form `(p)/(q)`.<br> `therefore` Given statement is false.
