Question : In $\triangle$ABC, BD and CE are perpendicular to AC and AB respectively. If BD = CE, then $\triangle$ABC is:

Option 1: Equilateral

Option 2: Isosceles

Option 3: Right–angled

Option 4: Scalene

Team Careers360 15th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Isosceles


Solution : Given: In $\triangle$ABC, BD and CE are perpendicular to AC and AB respectively.
BD = CE

The area of $\triangle ABC$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times{AB}\times {CE}$
The area of $\triangle ABC$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times{AC}\times {BD}$
$⇒\frac{1}{2}\times{AB}\times {CE}=\frac{1}{2}\times{AC}\times {BD}$
AB = AC (since, BD = CE)
So, $\triangle ABC$ is an

Question : The angle subtended by a chord on the centre of a circle is 180°. What will be the angle subtended by the same chord on the circumference of this circle?

Option 1: 120°

Option 2: 95°

Option 3: 90°

Option 4: 45°

Team Careers360 17th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 90°


Solution :
The angle subtended by a chord at the centre is twice the angle subtended on the circumference.
Angle subtended on the circumference = $\frac{180°}{2}$ = 90°
Therefore, the angle subtended by the same chord on the circumference is 90°.
Hence, the correct answer is 90°.

Question : The internal bisectors of the angles B and C of a triangle ABC meet at I. If $\angle$BIC = $\frac{\angle A}{2}$ + X, then X is equal to:

Option 1: $60^{\circ}$

Option 2: $30^{\circ}$

Option 3: $90^{\circ}$

Option 4: $45^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 2nd Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $90^{\circ}$


Solution :
$\angle$BIC = $\frac{\angle A}{2}$ + X
In $\triangle$ABC,
⇒ $\angle$A + $\angle$B + $\angle$C = $180^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle$B + $\angle$C = $180^{\circ}$ – $\angle$A
⇒ $\frac{1}{2}$($\angle$B + $\angle$C) = $90^{\circ}$ – $\frac{\angle A}{2}$
In $\triangle$BIC,
⇒ $\frac{\angle B}{2}$ + $\frac{\angle C}{2}$ + $\angle$BIC = $180^{\circ}$
