1. In the given figure, AB = CF, EF = BD and AFE = CBD, then AFE is congruent to CBD by
(a) SAS Congruence criterion (b) SSS congruence criterion
(c) ASA congruence criterion (d) RHS congruence criterion
Ans (a)
Sol. In AFE and CBD,
AB = CF [Given]
AB + BF = CF + BF
AF = CB
and EF = BD [Given]
AFE = CBD [Given]
Hence AFE is congruent to CBD [SAS congruence criterion]
2. In the given figure, if the bisector of BAC meets BC at P, then which of the following is true ?
(a) AP > BP > CP (b) AP = CP = BP (c) BP < AP < CP (d) CP < AP < BP
Ans (d)
Sol:
BAP = CAP = 45° [ BAC = 180° – 25° – 65° = 90°]
In ABP, ABP < BAP
AP < BP
Also in ACP, CAP < ACP
CP < AP
CP < AP < BP
3. In quadrilateral ABCD, BM and DN are drawn perpendiculars to diagonal AC such that BM = DN.
If BR = 18 cm (R is a point of intersection AC and BD), then BD is
(a) 9 cm (b) 24 cm (c) 18 cm (d) 36 cm
Ans (d)
Sol:
In BRM and DRN
BRM = DRN [Vertically opposite angles]
BMR = DNR = 90° [Given]
BM = DN
BRM DRN [AAS congruence criterion]
BR = DR [CPCT]
BD = 2BR
BD = 2 18 = 36cm
4. In the given figure, if AD = BC and AD || BC, then
(a) AB = AD (b) AB = DC
(c) BC = CD (d) None of these
Ans (b)
Sol: In ADC and CBA
AD = BC [Given]
CAD = ACB [ AD || BC]
and AC = AC [Common]
ADC CBA (By SAS Congruence criterion)
AB = DC [CPCT]
5. In the following figure, if AB = AC, BD = DC, then ADC is equal to
(a) 60° (b) 120° (c) 90° (d) None of these
Ans (c)
Sol. In ABD and ACD
AB = AC [Given]
BD = CD [Given]
AD = AD [Common]
ABD ACD [SSS congruence criterion]
ADB = ADC [CPCT]
But both are linear pair angles
So, ADC = ADB = 90°

PQR SQR [SSS congruence criterion]
QPR = RSQ [CPCT] …(i)
In POQ and SOR,
POQ = SOR [Vertically opposite angles]
QPO = RSO [From (i)]
PQ = SR [Given]

(a) 6 cm (b) 8 cm (c) 10 cm (d) 12 cm
Ans (d)
Sol BD is drawn to intersect EF at O
EF is parallel to CD and AE : DE = 2 : 3
BF : CF = 2 : 3
BOF and BDC are similar triagles

OF = 6 cm
DEOand DAB are similar triangles
DE EO 3 EO

EO = 6 cm
EF = EO + OF = 6 + 6 = 12 cm
8. If AB, EF and DC are perpendiculars to BC with lengths x, z and y respectivley, then the ratio of x
and y is
a a b b

Ans (a)
9. Two triangles ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar. If AB = BC = 10 and DE = EF = 12 and AC = 6 then
DF = __
(a) 6 (b) 5 (c) 7.2 (d) 18
Sol: Given
• AB = BC = 10
• DE = EF = 12
• AC = 6
As, ΔABC ∼ ΔDEF, we can take that
