5)Ans. (a)
The ratio of the areas of two triangles with equal heights is equal to the ratio of their
corresponding bases
6)Ans. (b)
The ratio of the areas of two triangles with equal bases is equal to the ratio of their
corresponding heights.
7)Ans. (b)
Comparing ΔABC and ΔDBE: ∠ABC = ∠DBE (Common), ∠ACB = ∠DEB (= 90°)
∴ ΔABC ∼ ΔDBE (By AA similarity criterion)
It is known that corresponding sides of similar triangles are in the same ratio.
∴ EC = BC − BE = 9 cm − 6 cm = 3 cm
Thus, the length of EC is 3 cm.
8)Ans. (c)
Since ΔABC and ΔRQP are similar, therefore,
∠A= ∠R, ∠B= ∠Q and ∠C= ∠P
But ∠A = 80° and ∠B = 60° (Given)
 ∠ PR = ∠ A = 80° and ∠ Q= ∠ B = 60°
∠ P = 180° - ∠R - ∠ Q
= 180° – 80° – 60° [∴ ∠ R = 80° and ∠Q = 60°]
= 180° - 140°
∠P = 40°.

10)Ans. (a)

11)Ans. (d)
By midpoint theorem,
If D and E are respectively the midpoints on the sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC,
DE||BC and BC = 12 cm

13)Ans. (b)
14)Ans. (a)
Let ar (ΔAOD) be x.
In ΔAOD and ΔCOB:
∠AOD = ∠COB [Vertically opposite angles]
∠ADO = ∠CBO [Alternate interior angles]
∴ ΔAOD ∼ ΔCOB [AA similarity criterion]
It is known that the ratio of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of
corresponding sides.
Thus, the ratio of the areas of ΔABD and ΔBCD is 1:3.

∴∠A = ∠Y, ∠B = ∠Z, ∠C = ∠X
It is given that ∠A = 53° and ∠Z = 39° ∴∠B = ∠Z = 39°
Applying angle sum property of triangles in ΔABC:
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 53° + 39° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠C = 88°
