2. If in ABC , AB = AC (see figure); P and Q are midpoints and BP and CQ be the altitudes from the
vertices to their opposite side, then
(a) BP = CQ (b) AP = AQ (c) ABC = ACB (d) All of these
Ans. (d)
Sol. We have, AB = AC ABC = ACB
Since BP ⊥ AC and QC ⊥ AB, then
AQ = QB and AP = PC
Since AB = AC , then
AQ + QB = AP + PC
2 AQ = 2 AP
AQ = AP
BCQ CBP By RHS congruency
BP = CQ By C.P.C.T
3. In the given figure, BD ⊥ AC , the measure of ABC is
7
(a) 60 (b) 30 (c) 45 (d) 90
Ans. (d)
Sol. AD = DC = BD
In ABD, AD = BD
1 = 2 [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
Similarly in BDC , BD = DC
3 = 4
in ABD, by angle sum property of ,
1 + 2 + BDA = 180
1 + 2 + 90 = 180
1 + 2 = 90 22 = 90 1 = 2
2 = 45
Similarly in BDC , 3 = 45
2 + 3 = 90
ABC = 90
4. In figure, AB = AC , ACM = 125 and ABC = x. Find the value of x
8
(a) 130 (b) 110 (c) 100 (d) 120
Ans. (b)
Sol. We have ACB + ACM = 180 (Linear pair)
ACB + 125 = 180
ACB = 180 − 125
ACB = 55 …(1)
Also, in ABC , AB = AC ABC = ACB
ABC = 55 (by 1)
Now, the exterior angle PAB is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles, ABC and
ACB.
Thus, we have, PAB = ABC + ACB
x = 55 + 55, i.e., x = 110
5. In given figure, PS = QR and SPQ = RQP. If QS = 8 cm then PR =
(a) 8 m (b) 4 m (c) 16 m (d) None of these

SPQ = RQP [GIven]
PQ = PQ [Common]
PQS QPR [by SAS congruency]
QS = PR = 8 cm

Ans. (a)
Sol. In ABC , as AB is greatest side
AB BC C A …(i)
AB AC C B …(ii)
On adding (i) and (ii), we get 2C A + B
2C + C A + B + C
3C 180 C 60
7. If a triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle, then which of the following conditions hold ?
(a) Altitude AD bisects BAC
(b) Bisector of BAC is perpendicular to the base BC.
(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) None of these
Ans. (c)
Sol. (a) Let ABC be a triangle such that the altitude AD bisects BAC
In ADB and ADC , we have
1 = 2 AD bisector of BAC 1 = 2
AD = AD [Common side]
ADB = ADC [Each equal to 90 ]
ADB ADC [By ASA rule]
AB = AC [C.P.C.T]
Hence, ABC is an isosceles triangles.

(b) Let ABC be a triangle such that the bisector AD of BAC is perpendicular to the base, In
ADB and ADC , we have
1 = 2 AD bisector of BAC
AD ⊥ BC
ADB = ADC ADB = ADC = 90
AD = AD [Common side]
ADB ADC [By ASA rule]
AB = AC [C.P.C.T]
Hence, ABC is an isosceles triangles.
8. In figure, AB = AC , CH = CB and HK || BC. If CAX = 137 , then find CHK .
(a) 68.5 (b) 43 (c) 137 (d) 70.5
Ans. (b)
Sol. XAK + KAH = 180 (Linear Pair)
KAH = 180 −137 = 43
Now, AB = AC ABC = ACB
Also, ABC + ACB = 137 (Exterior angle)
137
ABC = ACB = = 68.5
2
CH = CB (Given) CBA = CHB = 68.5
HCB = 180 − 137 = 43
CHK = HCB = 43 [Alternate angle]

a 2 + b 2 + c 2 − ab − bc − ca = 0
2a 2 + 2b 2 + 2c 2 − 2ab − 2bc − 2ca = 0
( a − b ) + (b − c ) + (c − a ) = 0
