I. OBJECTIVE QUESTIONS
1. Point (-2,3) lies in the
(a) first quadrant (b) second quadrant (c) third quadrant (d) fourth quadrant
Ans: (b) second quadrant
Since z-coordinate of (-2,3) is negative and y -coordinate is positive. Point (-2,3) lies in the li
quadrant.
2. Point (-2,0) lies
(a) on the negative part of the z-axis (b) on the negative part of the y-axis
(c) in the third quadrant (d) in the fourth quadrant
Ans: (a) on the negative part of the x-axis
Since x -coordinate of (-2, 0) is negative and y -coordinate is zero point (-2,0) lies on
negative part of the
x –axis or OX’ axis.
3. Abscissa of (2,3) is
(a) -2 (b) 3 (c) 2 (d) none of these
Ans: (c) 2
In the ordered pair (z, y), z is the abscissa and y is the ordinate.
In (2, 3), abscissa is 2.
4. If P (a, b) lies in II quadrant then which of the following is true about an and b
(a) a > 0, b > 0 (b) a > 0, b < 0 (c) a < 0, b > 0 (d) a < 0, b < 0
Ans: (c) a < 0, b > 0
In second quadrant, abscissa is negative and ordinate is a positive number.
a < 0, b > 0
5. Abscissa of a point is positive in
(a) I quadrant only (b) II quadrant only
(c) I and II quadrants (d) I and IV quadrants
Ans: (d) I and IV quadrants
Points with abscissa positive are of the form (+, +) and (+, -). They lie in I and IV quadrants
respectively.

6. If perpendicular distance of a point P from the x -axis be 3 units along the negative
direction of the y -axis, then the point P has
(a) x coordinate = - 3 (b) y -coordinate= - 3 (c) y -coordinate= 3 (d) none of these
Ans: (b) y -coordinate=- 3
7. Signs of the coordinates of a point in the III quadrant are
a) (+, +) b) (-, +) c) (+, -) d) (-, -)
Ans: (-, -)
8. In which quadrant abscissa is negative and ordinate is positive?
a) II (b) III (c) I (d) IV
Ans: (a) II Coordinates in the II quadrant are of the form (-, +)
9. The point for which the abscissa and ordinate have same signs will lie in
(a) I and II quadrants (b) I and III quadrants
(c) I and IV quadrants (d) III and IV quadrants
Ans: (b) I and III quadrants.
10.In how many parts does the axes divide the plane?
a) 1 part (b) 2 parts (c) 3 parts (d) 4 parts
Ans: (d) 4 parts
Axes divide the plane in 4 parts. Each part is called a quadrant.
II Fill in the blanks:
1. Abscissa of a point is positive in .......... and .......... quadrants.
Ans: first and fourth
2. A point both of whose coordinates are negative will lie in .......... quadrants.
Ans: third
3. The y -coordinate of every point on the x -axis is ..........
Ans: 0

4. If x > 0 and y < 0, then the point (x, - y) lies in .......... quadrant.
Ans: First
5. If the point (x, y) lies in the second quadrant, then x is .......... and y is ..........
Ans: Negative, Positive
III Say whether the given statement is TRUE/FALSE
1. The ordinate of a point is its x -co-ordinate.
Ans: False
2. The point (4, - 5) lies in the third quadrant.
Ans: False
3. The point (a, b) lies on y -axis if b = 0.
Ans: False
4. The origin lies in the first quadrant.
Ans: False
5. The point (- 1, -1) lies on the x -axis.
Ans: False
6. If the ordinate of a point is equal to its abscissa, then the point lies either in the first
quadrant or in the second quadrant.
Ans: False
7. The point (3, -2) lies below the x -axis.
Ans: True
8. The y -axis is the vertical number line.
Ans: True
9. The point (- 1, 2) lies below the x -axis.
Ans: False
10. Every point is located in one of the four quadrant
Ans: False

V Assertion and Reasoning:
1. Assertion: The points ( -3, 5) and (5, - 3) are at different positions in the coordinate
plane.
Reason: If x ≠ y, then (x, y) ≠ (y, x)
Ans: (a) Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of
assertion.
( -3, 5) and (5, -3) are different points as, ( -3, 5) lies in II quadrant and, (5, -3) lies in IV
quadrant. Also, abscissas and ordinates of both points are different.
2. Assertion: The point ( -5, 0) lies on y -axis and (0, -4) on x -axis.
Reason: Every point on the x -axis has zero distance from x -axis and every point on
the y -axis has zero distance from y -axis.
Ans: (d) Assertion is false but reason is true.
( -5, 0), lies on x -axis whereas (0, -4) lies on the y-axis
Every point on x -axis has zero distance from x -axis and every point of y -axis has zero
distance from y -axis.
