On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,
In ∆ AQC,
∠A = 90°
⇒ CQ² = AC² + QA²
⇒ 4CQ² = 4AC² + 4QA²
⇒ 4CQ² = 4AC² + (2QA)²
⇒ 4CQ² = 4AC² + AB²
[∵AB = 2QA]
In ∆ BPA,
BP² = BA² + AP²
⇒ 4BP² = 4BA² + 4AP²
⇒ 4BP² = 4BA² + AC²
[∵ AC = 2AP]
∴ 4 CQ² + 4 BP² = 4 AC² + AB² + 4 AB² + AC²
⇒ 4(CQ² + BP²) = 5(AC² + AB²) = 5 BC²Correct Option: B

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC
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) = 4AD² + BC²
Similarly,
2(AB² + BC²) = 4 BE² + AC²
2 (AC² + BC²) = 4 CF² + AB²
Correct Option: E

∴ AB² + AC² = 2 (AD² + BD²)⇒ AB² + AC² = 2 AD² + BC² 4
⇒ 2(AB² + AC²) = 4AD² + 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)

Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC extended in both the sides ,
As we know that , ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠BAC = 180°
Again, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°
∠ABC + ∠ABF = 180°
∠BAC + ∠EAC = 180°Correct Option: C

On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC whose I is incentre,
In ∆ ABC,
We know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠ = 180°
∴ ∠B + ∠ = 180° – ∠A∴ ∠1 (∠B + ∠C) = 90° - ∠A 2 2
In ∆ BIC,∠B + ∠C + ∠BIC = 180° 2 2 ∴ 90° - ∠A + ∠BIC = 180° 2 ⇒ ∠BIC = 180° - 90° + ∠A 2
Correct Option: C
