    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC in which AD, BE and CF are three medians ,

    We know that sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than twice the mediun bisecting the third side.
    Here, D, E and F are the midpoint of the sides BC, AC and AB.
    ∴ AB + AC > 2 AD
    AB + BC > 2BE
    BC + AC > 2 CF
    Adding all three, we get

    Correct Option: B

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

    AB
    =
    BD
    ACDC

    ∴ AD is the bisector of ∠A.
    ∴ ∠BAD =
    1

    ∴ ∠BAD =
    180 - ∠B - ∠C

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

    AD = 27 cm
    Centroid = O

    Correct Option: A

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

    AD = 27 cm
    Centroid = O

    Given , ND = 12 cm
    ∴ ON = DN – OD = 12 – 9 = 3 cm


  1. In a ∆ ABC, the medians AD, BE and CF meet at G, then which of the following is true?









  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    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

    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)
    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
