    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of question we draw a figure of equilateral triangle ,

    The point equidistant from the sides of a triangle is called Incentre .
    Or The point of intersection of the internal bisectors of the angles of a triangle meet at a point that is incentre-equidistant from the sides.

    According to question ,
    In ∆ ABC and ∆ DEF,
    ∠A = ∠F = 50°
    ∠B = ∠E = 70°
    ∠C = ∠D = 60°

    Correct Option: A

    According to question ,
    In ∆ ABC and ∆ DEF,
    ∠A = ∠F = 50°
    ∠B = ∠E = 70°
    ∠C = ∠D = 60°
    ∴ ∆ ABC ~ ∆ FED

    As per the given in question ,
    ∴ 4∠A = 3∠B = 12∠C
    { LCM of 4 , 3 , 12 is 12 }

    4∠A
    =
    3∠B
    =
    12∠C
    121212

    ∠A
    =
    ∠B
    =
    ∠C

    ∴ ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 3 : 4 : 1;
    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ∴ Sum of the terms of ratio = 3 + 4 + 1 = 8

    Correct Option: C

    As per the given in question ,
    ∴ 4∠A = 3∠B = 12∠C
    { LCM of 4 , 3 , 12 is 12 }

    4∠A
    =
    3∠B
    =
    12∠C
    121212

    ∠A
    =
    ∠B
    =
    ∠C
    341

    ∴ ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 3 : 4 : 1;
    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ∴ Sum of the terms of ratio = 3 + 4 + 1 = 8
    ∴ ∠A =
    3
    × 180° = 67.5°

    According to question , we draw a figure triangle ABC in which AD is perpendicular to BC

    Given , AD = 6 cm. and BD = 4 cm.
    ∴ AB = √AD² + BD²
    AB = √6² + 4²
    AB = √36 + 16
    AB = √52 cm.

    ⇒ BD =
    AB²
