NUST NET Mathematics — Conic Sections
Conic Sections is part of the FSc Mathematics course that NUST NET-Engineering draws on (Mathematics is 100 of the 200 MCQs). It breaks into 4 subtopics, and we hold 160 NET-pattern practice MCQs on it, each with a written explanation. Tap a subtopic below to practise just that.

Try each one before opening the answer. Each comes with a short explanation.
- Q1 · NUST NET Past Paper 07 · Conic Sections
The circle x² + y² = r² has its centre at:
- A.(r, r)
- B.(0, 0)
- C.(r, 0)
- D.(0, r)
Show answer
Answer: B. (0, 0) — x² + y² = r² is the circle of radius r centred at the origin.
- Q2 · NUST NET Past Paper 08 · Conic Sections
The tangent to a circle at any point is ______ to the radius drawn to that point.
- A.parallel
- B.equal in length
- C.inclined at 45°
- D.perpendicular
Show answer
Answer: D. perpendicular — Tangent ⟂ radius at the point of contact.
- Q3 · NUST NET Past Paper 05 · Conic Sections
The radius of the circle x² + y² + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 is:
- A.g² + f² − c
- B.√(g + f − c)
- C.√(g² + f² − c)
- D.g² + f² + c
Show answer
Answer: C. √(g² + f² − c) — r = √(g² + f² − c).
