Sol :
Diagram
Given That $\overrightarrow{O E}$ bisects ∠AOB
∴∠AOE=∠EOB

∠AOE=∠EOB

Here $\overrightarrow{O F}$ and $\overrightarrow{O E}$ form a straight line.

∠EOA+∠AOE=180°
∠FOB+∠BOE=180°

∴∠FOA+∠AOE=∠FOB+∠BOE
∠FOA=FOB

∠QOS+∠ROQ=180°

∴SOR is a line
or
OR and OS lie on a line

Sol :
Diagram
Given: ∠AOB=∠COD..(i)
∠BOC=∠DOA..(ii)

from figure-
∠AOB+∠BOC+∠COD+∠DOA=360°
⇒2∠COD+2∠DOA=360°
⇒∠COD+∠DOA$=\frac{360^{\circ}}{2}$
∠AOC=180°

Similarly ∠BOD=180°

Sum of all angles at a point on a straight line is 180°

∠COB=90° , ∠BOD=90°
∠COB+∠BOD=90°+90°=180°

∴COD is a straight line


Question 22

Two lines AB and CD intersect each other at point O. If line OP bisects ∠BOD , prove that if OP is produced backwards , then it bisects ∠AOC. If OP and OQ are respectively bisectors of ∠BOD and ∠AOC . Show that the rays OP and OQ are in the same line

[Hint : Since OP is the bisector of ∠BOD
∴ ∠1=∠6;
If OP is produced,
then ∠1=∠4
and ∠6=∠3 [vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠3=∠4
Thus, OQ is the bisector of ∠AOC
Also ∠2=∠5 [vertically opposite angles]

Second part :
Since sum of the angles formed at a point is 360°
∴ ∠1+∠2++∠3+∠4+∠5+∠6=360°
⇒ (∠1+∠6)+(∠3+∠4)+(∠2+∠5)=360°
⇒ 2∠1+2∠3+2∠2=360° [Using above equations]
⇒ ∠1+∠3+∠2=180° ∴∠POQ=180°
Hence, OP and OQ are in the same line ]
Sol :

Given: AB and CD intersect each other on P at O

To prove: OQ bisects ∠AOC

Prove: OP bisect ∠BOD

∠DOP=∠BOP..(i)
∠BOP=∠AOQ..(ii) (V.O.A)
∠DOP=∠COQ..(iii) (V.O.A)

From Equation (i), (ii) and (iii):
∴∠AOQ=∠COQ

then OQ, bisects ∠AOC


Question 23

(i) In the given figure, lines PQ and RS intersect at Point O. If ∠POR:∠ROQ= 5:7 , find all the angles.

[Hint: ∵∠POR+∠ROQ=180° [By linear pair axiom]
Given , $\dfrac{\angle POR}{\angle ROQ}=\dfrac{5}{7}$ or $\dfrac{\angle POR}{5}=\dfrac{\angle ROQ}{7}$ $\dfrac{(\angle POR + \angle ROQ)}{12}=\dfrac{180^{\circ}}{12}$
$\angle POR=5\times \dfrac{180^{\circ}}{12}=75^{\circ}$ and $\angle ROQ=7\times \dfrac{180^{\circ}}{12}=105^{\circ}$
Now , ∠POS=∠ROQ=105° and ∠SOQ=∠POR=75°]

(ii) Three coplanar lines AB ,CD and EF intersect at a point O, forming angles as shown in the figure. Find the values of x, y , z and v.

[Hint: Clearly , ∠y=50° [Vertically opposite angles]
∠z=90° [Vertically opposite angles]
∠v=∠x [Vertically opposite angles]
Now, ∠x=40° ,∠y=50° , ∠z=90° and ∠v=40°]

(iii) In the given figure , find the value of x and then find ∠BOC, ∠ FOC , ∠COA

[Hint: ∵ ∠DOE=∠FOC=2x
Now ray OF stands in line AOB]
∴∠BOF+∠FOC+∠COA=180°
⇒5x+2x+3x=180°
⇒10x=180°
⇒x=18°
∴∠BOF=5x=5×18°=90°
∠FOC=2x=2×18°=36°
∠COA=3x=3×18°=54°

(iv) In the given f‌igure. two straight lines PQ and RS intersect eaach other at O.
If ∠POT=70°, find the value of a,b and c
<fig to be added>
[Hint : Since ray OT stands on line RS
∴ ∠ROP+∠POT+∠TOS=180°
or 4b+70°+b=180°
5b=180°-70°=110°
⇒b=22°; since PQ and RS intersected at O, so
∠QOS=∠POR or a=4b
a=4×22°=88°
Now ∠ROQ=∠POS  [Vertically opposite angles]
∴ 2c=70°+b=70°+22°=92°
or $c=\dfrac{92}{2}=46^{\circ}$]

Alternatively,
2c+a=180° [∵Ray OQ stands on line RS]
⇒ 2c+88°=180°
⇒ 2c=180°-88°
⇒ c=46°

2∠ROS+2∠SOT=180°
2(∠ROS+∠SOT)=180°
∠ROS+∠SOT$=\frac{180^{\circ}}{90^{\circ}}$
∠ROS+∠SOT=90°

∠ROT=90°
