A
If all the sides of △CAT are equal to corresponding sides of △RAT, then △RAT will be congruent to △CAT and the congruence criterion will be SSS.
:
A, B, C, and D
Consider ΔABC and ΔADC,AC=AC (Common side of both triangles)AB=AD (Sides of isosceles triangle)BC=CD (Median divides a side in two equal parts)∴ΔABC≅ΔADC (by SSS congruence criterion) So the option "ΔABC≅ΔADC" is correct.∴∠ACB=∠ACD (CPCT)But they are supplementary angles. So, ∠ACB+∠ACD=180∘⇒∠ACB=∠ACD=90∘∴AC is perpendicular to BD and the hence option "AC is perpendicular to BD" is correct. Also, ∠BAC=∠DAC (corresponding angles of congruent triangles)Hence, the option"∠BAC=∠DAC" is also correct.Also, area of ΔABC=area of ΔADC=12(area of ΔABD).ΔABC≅ΔADC⟹ ar(ΔABC)=ar(ΔADC)Hence, the option "Area of ΔABD=12×Area of ΔABC"is also correct.

A
Concider ΔAOB,ΔAOC and ΔBOC.AB=BC=AC (Sides of equilateral triangle)AO=BO=CO (Radii of circumcircle)∴ΔAOB≅ΔBOC≅ΔCOB (SSS congruence).∴Area of ΔAOB=Area of ΔBOC=Area of ΔAOC.But Area of ΔAOB+Area of ΔBOC+Area of ΔAOC=Area ofΔABC.∴Area of ΔBOC=13Area of ΔABC
Hence, the given statement is true.
:
B
Consider ΔABD and ΔCDB,AB=CD (Opposite sides of parallelogram)AD=CB (Opposite sides of parallelogram)∠ABD=∠CDB (Alternate angles).∴ΔABD≅ΔCDB
Hence, the given statement is false as the vertices are not given in corresponding sequence in question.
:
B
In △ACD and △ABD
∠BAD=∠CAD
[∵ AD is the bisector of ∠A]
AD = AD [common side]
AB = AC [Given]
△ACD≅△ABD [SAS congruency]
The triangles are congruent by SAS congruence rule.
:
B
In △ACB and △CAD,
AD=BC [Given]
∠CAD=∠ACB [Alternate angles]
CA=AC [common side]
△ACB≅△CAD [SAS congruency]
∴AB=DC [CPCT]
:
B
In the △ABC and △ABD,
AC = AD (Given)
CB = DB (Given)
AB is the common side.
⟹△ABC≅△ABD [SSS congruency]
Thus, by SSS congruency rule, the two triangles (ABC and ABD) are congruent.
:
B
The given statement is false. Even when two triangles have all angles same, they can still have sides of different lengths. However, the ratio of lengths of corresponding sides will be same. But in this case, they will be called 'similar' triangles, not congruent.
Congruent triangles are a special case of similar triangles.
For example, in the image below, both triangles are equilateral and have all angles equal but they are not congruent.
