Question 1. In a triangle ABC, ∠A = 90°, ∠C = 55°, $${AD}$$ ⊥ $${BC}$$. What is the value of ∠BAD ?
  1.    35°
  2.    60°
  3.    45°
  4.    55°
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 55°
According to question,
In right angle ΔBAC
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∠B = 180° - 55° - 90°
∠B = 35°
In right angle ΔADB
∠ADB + ∠ABD + ∠BAD = 180°
∠BAD = 180° - 35° - 90°
∠BAD = 55°
Alternate
ΔBAC ∼ ΔBDA
∴ ∠BCA = ∠BAD = 55°
Question 2. Angle between the internal bisectors of two angles of a triangle ∠B and ∠C is 120°, then ∠A is :
  1.    20°
  2.    30°
  3.    60°
  4.    90°
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 60°
According to question,
Given : ∠BIC = 120°
∠BIC = 90° + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ∠A
$$\frac{{\angle A}}{2}$$  = (120° - 90°)
$$\frac{{\angle A}}{2}$$  = 30°
∠A = 60°
Question 3. G is the centroid of the equilateral ΔABC. If AB = 10 cm then length of AG is ?
  1.    $$\frac{{5\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,cm$$
  2.    $$\frac{{10\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,cm$$
  3.    $$5\sqrt 3 \,cm$$
  4.    $$10\sqrt 3 \,cm$$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> $$\frac{{10\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,cm$$
According to question,
Given :
AB = BC = CA = 10 cm
G = Centroid
AG = 2 units
GD = 1 unit
AD = 3 units = Height
As we know that the height of the equilateral triangle is
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} \times 10 = 5\sqrt 3 \cr
& \therefore 3\,{\text{units}} = 5\sqrt 3 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,1\,{\text{unit}} = \frac{{5\sqrt 3 }}{3} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,2\,{\text{units}} = \frac{{5\sqrt 3 }}{3} \times 2 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,2\,{\text{units}} = \frac{{10\sqrt 3 }}{3} \cr
& \therefore {\text{AG}} = \frac{{10\sqrt 3 }}{3}\,cm \cr} $$
Question 4. ABC is a right-angled triangle with AB = 6 cm and BC = 8 cm. A circle with center O has been inscribed inside ΔABC. The radius of the circle is
  1.    1 cm
  2.    2 cm
  3.    3 cm
  4.    4 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 2 cm
According to question,
Given :
AB = 6 cm,         BC = 8 cm
In right angle ΔABC
By using Pythagoras theorem
AC2 = AB2 + BC2
AC2 = 62 + 82
AC2 = 36 + 64
AC2 = 100
AC  = 10 cm
In radius
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{a + b - c}}{2} \cr
& = \frac{{8 + 6 - 10}}{2} \cr
& = \frac{4}{2} \cr
& = 2\,cm \cr} $$
Question 5. A point D is taken on the side BC of a right-angled triangle ABC, where AB is hypotenuse. Then
  1.    AB2 + CD2 = AD2 + BC2
  2.    CD2 + BD2 = 2AD2
  3.    AB2 + AC2 = 2AD2
  4.    AB2 = AD2 + BC2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> AB2 + CD2 = AD2 + BC2
According to question,
In ΔABC
AB2 = AC2 + BC2 . . . . . . . (i)
ΔACD
AD2 = AC2 + CD2
AC2 = AD2 - CD2 . . . . . . . (ii)
Put the value of AC2 in equation (i)
AB2 = AD2 - CD2 + BC2
AB2 + CD2 = AD2 + BC2
Question 6. In an equilateral triangle ABC, G is the centroid. Each side of the triangle is 6 cm. The length of AG is:
  1.    $$2\sqrt 2 $$  cm
  2.    $$3\sqrt 2 $$  cm
  3.    $$2\sqrt 3 $$  cm
  4.    $$3\sqrt 3 $$  cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> $$2\sqrt 3 $$  cm
In Equilateral triangle
$$\eqalign{
& AG:GD = 2:1 \cr
& AD = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2}a \cr
& AD = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} \times 6 \cr
& AD = 3\sqrt 3 \cr
& 3 \to 3\sqrt 3 \cr
& 1 \to \sqrt 3 \cr
& AG = 2\,{\text{unit}} = 2\sqrt 3 \,{\text{cm}} \cr} $$
Question 7. In case of an acute angled triangle, its orthocenter lies:
  1.    Inside the triangle
  2.    Outside the triangle
  3.    On the triangle
  4.    On one of the vertex of the triangle
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Inside the triangle
In acute angled triangle orthocenter is always inside the triangle
Question 8. In a right angled triangle ΔDEF, if the length of the hypotenuse EF is 12 cm, then the length of the median DX is:
  1.    3 cm
  2.    4 cm
  3.    6 cm
  4.    12 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 6 cm
Median of right angle
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{EF}}{2} \cr
& = \frac{{12}}{2} \cr
& = 6\,{\text{cm}} \cr} $$
Question 9. If the measure of the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 and if the length of the smallest side of the triangle is 10 cm, then the length of the longest side is:
  1.    20 cm
  2.    25 cm
  3.    30 cm
  4.    35 cm
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 20 cm
Let angle = x, 2x, 3x
x + 2x + 3x = 180
(∵ Sum of internal angle of a Δ)
6x = 180°
x = 30°
So, angle = 30, 60, 90
Smallest side of Δ
= 1 unit
= 10 cm
Largest side of Δ
= 2 units
= 20 cm
Question 10. In a triangle ABC, ∠A = 70°, ∠B = 80° and D is the incenter of ΔABC, ∠ACB = 2x° and ∠BDC = y°. The values of x and y, respectively are:
  1.    15°, 130°
  2.    15°, 125°
  3.    35°, 40°
  4.    30°, 150°
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 15°, 125°
∠C = 180 - (∠A + ∠B)
∠C = 180 - 150
2x = 30
x = 15°
∠BDC = 90° + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ ∠A
∠BDC = 90° + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ × 70°
∠BDC = 90° + 35°
∠BDC = 125°
So value of x and y are = 15°, 125°
