As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC
AB = BD AC DC
∴ AD is the bisector of ∠A.∴ ∠BAD = 1 (∠BAC) 2 ∴ ∠BAD = 180 - ∠B - ∠C 2
Correct Option: C

On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,
AD = 27 cm
Centroid = O
From figure we know that , AO : OD = 2 : 1∴ OD = 1 AD 3 OD = 1 × 27 = 9 cm 3
Correct Option: A

AD = 27 cm
Centroid = O
From figure we know that , AO : OD = 2 : 1∴ OD = 1 AD 3 OD = 1 × 27 = 9 cm 3
Given , ND = 12 cm
∴ ON = DN – OD = 12 – 9 = 3 cm
- In a ∆ ABC, the medians AD, BE and CF meet at G, then which of the following is true?

Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC whose the medians AD, BE and CF meet at G ,
In any triangle the sum of the squares of any two sides is equal to twice the square of half of the third side together with twice the square of the median bisecting it.
∴ AB² + AC² = 2(AD² + BD²)
⇒ AB² + AC² = 2(AD² + BC²/4)
⇒ 2(AB² + AC²) = 4 AD² + BC²
Similarly,
2(AB² + BC²) = 4 BE² + AC²
2(AC² + BC²) = 4 CF² + AB²
On adding all three, we get
4(AB² + BC² + AC²) = 4(AD² + BE² + CF²) + BC² + AC² + AB²
⇒ 3(AB² + BC² + AC²) = 4(AD² + BE² + CF²)Correct Option: D

⇒ 3(AB² + BC² + AC²) = 4(AD² + BE² + CF²)
Again,
AB + AC > 2AD
AB + BC > 2BE
BC + AC > 2CF
On adding , we get
∴ 2(AB + BC + AC) > 2(AD + BE + CF)
⇒ AB + BC + AC > AD + BE + CF

On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC which AD is the median ,
Point ‘O’ is centroid and AD is median.∴ OA = 2 AD 3 ⇒ 10 = 2 AD 3 ⇒ AD = 10 × 3 = 15 cm 2
Correct Option: C
