 Given AB = AC
 Point D is the mid-point of side BC.
 ∴ ∠ADB = 90° = ∠ADC
 PD is internal bisector of ∠ADB.
 ∴ ∠PDA = 45°Correct Option: BOn the basis of given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,  
 Given AB = AC
 Point D is the mid-point of side BC.
 ∴ ∠ADB = 90° = ∠ADC
 PD is internal bisector of ∠ADB.
 ∴ ∠PDA = 45°
 PQ || BC
 ∴ ∠ADQ = 45°
 ∴ PDQ = ∠ADQ + ∠PDA = 45° + 45° = 90°

 Let ∠ACD = a = ∠DAC
 ∴ ∠CDB = 2a = ∠CBD
 The angles of the base of an isosceles triangle are equal.
 ∴ ∠ACB = 180° – 96° = 84°
 ⇒ ∠ACD + ∠DCB = 84°
 ⇒ a + 180° – 4a = 84°
 ⇒ 180° – 3a = 84°Correct Option: CFrom given figure ,

 Given that , AB = AC
 ∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB
 ∠A = 80°
 ∴ ∠B + ∠C = 180° – 80° = 100°
 ∴ ∠B = 100 ÷ 2 = 50° = ∠CCorrect Option: CAs per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC  
 Given that , AB = AC
 ∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB
 ∠A = 80°
 ∴ ∠B + ∠C = 180° – 80° = 100°
 ∴ ∠B = 100 ÷ 2 = 50° = ∠C
 ∴ ∠DBC = ∠DCB = 50 ÷ 2 = 25°
 ∴ ∠BDC = 180° – (∠DBC + ∠DCB) = 180° – 50° = 130°

 Let the sides of the triangle be 3k, 4k and 6k units.
 Clearly, (3k)² + (4k)² < (6k)²Correct Option: CHere , The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 6 
 Let the sides of the triangle be 3k, 4k and 6k units.
 Clearly, (3k)² + (4k)² < (6k)²
 ∴ The triangle will be obtuse angled.

 ∠ PQS = 60°
 ∠ QCR = 130°∴ ∠QPR = 1 × 130° = 65° 2 
 ⇒ ∠QRP =180° – 60° – 65° = 55°

 Correct Option: BOn the basis of given in question , we draw a figure with O and C are respectively orthocentre and circumcentre of an acute-angled triangle PQR ,  
 ∠ PQS = 60°
 ∠ QCR = 130°∴ ∠QPR = 1 × 130° = 65° 2 
 ⇒ ∠QRP =180° – 60° – 65° = 55°

 ∴ In ∆ QCR,
