Question : In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$B = 35°, $\angle$C = 65° and the bisector of $\angle$BAC meets BC in D. Then $\angle$ADB is:
Option 1: 40°
Option 2: 75°
Option 3: 90°
Option 4: 105°
Correct Answer: 105°
Solution : Given: In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$B = 35°, $\angle$C = 65° So, $\angle$A = 180° – 35° – 65° = 80° The bisector of $\angle$BAC meets BC in D. ∴ $\angle$BAD = $\frac{1}{2}×\angle$A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 80° = 40° Therefore $\angle$ADB = 180° – $\angle$BAD – $\angle$B

Question : In the given figure, in $\triangle \operatorname{STU}$, $\mathrm{ST }= 8$ cm, $\mathrm{TU} = 9$ cm and $\mathrm{SU} = 12$ cm. $\mathrm{QU }= 24$ cm, $\mathrm{SR} = 32$ cm and $\mathrm{PT }= 27$ cm. What is the ratio of the area of $\triangle \operatorname{PUQ}$ and the area of $\triangle\operatorname{PTR}$?
Option 1: 1 : 1
Option 2: 4 : 9
Option 3: 2 : 3
Option 4: 5 : 2
Correct Answer: 4 : 9
Solution : Using the Sine rule, In $\triangle \operatorname{PUQ}$, Area of $\triangle \operatorname{PUQ}=\frac{1}{2}× \sin (\operatorname{\angle PUQ})×\operatorname{PU}×\operatorname{QU}$ ⇒ Area of $\triangle \operatorname{PUQ}=\frac{1}{2}× \sin (\operatorname{\angle PUQ})×18×24$ ⇒ Area of $\triangle \operatorname{PUQ}=18× \sin (\operatorname{\angle PUQ}) ×12$ In $\triangle \operatorname{PTR}$, Area of $\triangle \operatorname{PTR}=\frac{1}{2}× \sin (\operatorname{\angle PTR})×\operatorname{PT}×\operatorname{TR}$ ⇒ Area
