    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

    ∠B + ∠C = 180 – 50 = 130°
    In ∠BIC,
    ∠IBC + ∠ICB + ∠BIC = 180°

    ∠B
    +
    ∠C
    + ∠BIC = 180°

    ∠B + ∠C = 180 – 50 = 130°
    In ∠BIC,
    ∠IBC + ∠ICB + ∠BIC = 180°

    ∠B
    +
    ∠C
    + ∠BIC = 180°

    ⇒ ∠BIC = 180° -
    1
    (∠B +∠C)
    2

    ∠BIC = 180° -
    130

    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC whose AD, BE and CF are medians ,

    Points D, E, F are midpoints of BC, CA and AB respectively.
    Any two sides of a triangle are together greater than twice the median drawn to the third side.
    ∴ AB + AC > 2AD
    AB + BC > 2BE
    BC + CA > 2CF
    On adding, we get

    ∴ AB + BC + CA > AD + BE + CF



  1. The exterior angles obtained on producing the base BC of a triangle ABC in both ways are 120° and 105°, then the vertical ∠A of the triangle is of measure

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC ,

    ∠ABD = 120°
    ∴ ∠ABC = 180° – 120° = 60°
    ∠ACE = 105°

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC ,

    ∠ABD = 120°
    ∴ ∠ABC = 180° – 120° = 60°
    ∠ACE = 105°
    ⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 105° = 75°
    ∴ ∠BAC = 180° – 60° – 75° = 45°


  1. If in ∆ ABC, ∠ABC = 5 ∠ACB and ∠BAC = 3∠ACB, then ∠ABC = ?

    Here , ∠ABC = 5 ∠ACB and ∠BAC = 3∠ACB
    We know that , ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180°

    ⇒ ∠ABC +
    1
    ∠ABC +
    3
    ∠ABC = 180°
    55

    ⇒ ∠ABC +
    4
    ∠ABC = 180°
    5

    Correct Option: C

    Here , ∠ABC = 5 ∠ACB and ∠BAC = 3∠ACB
    We know that , ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC = 180°

    ⇒ ∠ABC +
    1
    ∠ABC +
    3
    ∠ABC = 180°
    55

    ⇒ ∠ABC +
    4
    ∠ABC = 180°
    5

    or
    9
    ∠ABC = 180°
    5

    ⇒ 9 ∠ABC = 180 × 5
    ⇒ ∠ABC = 100°
