                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum On the basis of question we draw a figure of triangle ABC in which X and Y are the mid-points of sides AB and AC ,  
 The line joining the mid–points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of the base.∴ XY = 1 BC 2 
 ⇒ BC = 2XY
 ∴ BC + XY = 12 units
 ⇒ 2XY + XY = 12
 ⇒ 3XY = 12
 Correct Option: BOn the basis of question we draw a figure of triangle ABC in which X and Y are the mid-points of sides AB and AC ,  
 The line joining the mid–points of two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of the base.∴ XY = 1 BC 2 
 ⇒ BC = 2XY
 ∴ BC + XY = 12 units
 ⇒ 2XY + XY = 12
 ⇒ 3XY = 12⇒ XY = 12 = 4 units 3 
 ∴ BC = 12 – 4 = 8 units
 ∴ BC – XY = 8 – 4 = 4 units
-  If in ∆ ABC, ∠B = 5 ∠C and ∠A = 3∠C, then the measure of ∠C is

 In a triangle ABC,
 Given , ∠B = 5∠C; and ∠A = 3∠C
 ∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
 ⇒ 3∠C + 5∠C + ∠C = 180°
 ⇒ 9∠C = 180°Correct Option: CAccording to question, 
 In a triangle ABC,
 Given , ∠B = 5∠C; and ∠A = 3∠C
 ∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
 ⇒ 3∠C + 5∠C + ∠C = 180°
 ⇒ 9∠C = 180°⇒ ∠C = 180° = 20° 9 
-  Which one of the following combination of measurements can form the sides of a triangle?
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum As we know that the sum of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. 
 For option, 11 cm., 3 cm., and 12 cm,
 11 + 3 = 14 > 12
 3 + 12 = 15 > 11
 11 + 12 = 23 > 3Correct Option: BAs we know that the sum of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. 
 For option, 11 cm., 3 cm., and 12 cm,
 11 + 3 = 14 > 12
 3 + 12 = 15 > 11
 11 + 12 = 23 > 3
 Hence , option B is correct answer .
-  In ∆ ABC, ∠B = 35°, ∠C = 65° and the bisector of ∠BAC meets BC in D. Then ∠ADB is :
- 
                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum According to question , we draw a figure ∆ ABC  
 Given , ∠ABC = 35°
 ∠ACB = 65°
 ∴ ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°
 ∠BAC = 180° – 35° – 65°
 ∠BAC = 180° – 100° = 80°Correct Option: DAccording to question , we draw a figure ∆ ABC  
 Given , ∠ABC = 35°
 ∠ACB = 65°
 ∴ ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°
 ∠BAC = 180° – 35° – 65°
 ∠BAC = 180° – 100° = 80°
 ∠BAD = ∠DAC = 40°
 ∴ ∠ADB = 180° – 35° – 40° = 105°
-  The orthocentre of a triangle lies on one of the sides. Then
