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: B

⇒ 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

According 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°Correct Option: C

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: B

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: D
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°
∠BAD = ∠DAC = 40°
∴ ∠ADB = 180° – 35° – 40° = 105°
