These Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) are strictly based on the latest CBSE Class 9 Mathematics syllabus and NCERT textbook guidelines.
1. The point (3, 0) lies on which axis?
Answer: B. X-axis
If y = 0, the point lies on the X-axis.
If y = 0, the point lies on the X-axis.
2. The coordinates of the origin are:
Answer: B. (0,0)
Origin is the intersection of X and Y axes.
Origin is the intersection of X and Y axes.
3. In which quadrant does (4,5) lie?
Answer: A. I
Both x and y are positive → Quadrant I.
Both x and y are positive → Quadrant I.
4. In which quadrant does (–4,5) lie?
Answer: B. II
x negative, y positive → Quadrant II.
x negative, y positive → Quadrant II.
5. Abscissa refers to:
Answer: B. x-coordinate
Abscissa means the horizontal distance (x-value).
Abscissa means the horizontal distance (x-value).
6. Ordinate refers to:
Answer: B. y-coordinate
Ordinate means vertical distance from X-axis.
Ordinate means vertical distance from X-axis.
7. A point on Y-axis has:
Answer: A. x=0
All points on Y-axis have zero x-coordinate.
All points on Y-axis have zero x-coordinate.
8. A point on X-axis has:
Answer: B. y=0
All points on X-axis have zero y-coordinate.
All points on X-axis have zero y-coordinate.
9. Distance between (3,0) and (7,0) is:
Answer: B. 4
Distance = |7 − 3| = 4 units.
Distance = |7 − 3| = 4 units.
10. Distance between (0,2) and (0,7) is:
Answer: C. 5
Distance = |7 − 2| = 5 units.
Distance = |7 − 2| = 5 units.
11. The point (–3, –4) lies in:
Answer: C. III
Both x and y negative → Quadrant III.
Both x and y negative → Quadrant III.
12. The point (5, –2) lies in:
Answer: D. IV
x positive, y negative → Quadrant IV.
x positive, y negative → Quadrant IV.
13. The distance of (–6,0) from origin is:
Answer: A. 6
Distance from origin on X-axis = |–6| = 6.
Distance from origin on X-axis = |–6| = 6.
14. The distance of (0, –8) from origin is:
Answer: A. 8
Distance = |–8| = 8 units.
Distance = |–8| = 8 units.
15. Which point lies on Y-axis?
Answer: B. (0,5)
x=0 means point lies on Y-axis.
x=0 means point lies on Y-axis.
16. Which point lies on X-axis?
Answer: A. (4,0)
y=0 means point lies on X-axis.
y=0 means point lies on X-axis.
17. If abscissa is 5 and ordinate is –3, point is:
Answer: A. (5,–3)
Abscissa = x, Ordinate = y.
Abscissa = x, Ordinate = y.
18. Which quadrant has both coordinates negative?
Answer: C. III
In Quadrant III, x < 0 and y < 0.
In Quadrant III, x < 0 and y < 0.
19. Which quadrant has x positive and y negative?
Answer: D. IV
Quadrant IV: x positive, y negative.
Quadrant IV: x positive, y negative.
20. Distance between two points on X-axis depends only on:
Answer: B. x-values
Since y=0 for both, distance is difference of x-coordinates.
Since y=0 for both, distance is difference of x-coordinates.
