    As per the given in question , we draw a figure an isosceles triangle ABC in which AB = AC and side BA is extended to D such that AB = AD

    In ∆ ABC,
    AB = AC
    ⇒ ∠ACB = ∠ABC ..... (i)
    Now, AB = AD
    ∴ AD = AC
    In ∆ ADC,
    AD = AC
    ⇒ ∠ACD = ∠ADC ....(ii)
    By equations (i) + (ii),
    ∠ACB + ∠ACD = ∠ABC + ∠ADC
    ⇒∠BCD = ∠ABC + ∠BDC

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given question , we draw a figure of triangle PQR in which PS is the internal bisector of∠QPR and PT ⊥ QR

    PS, is bisector of ∠QPR.
    ∴ ∠QPS = ∠SPR .....(i)
    In ∆
    PQT, ∠PQT + ∠PTQ + ∠QPT = 180°
    ⇒ ∠PQT + 90° + ∠QPT = 180°
    ⇒ ∠PQT + ∠QPT = 90°
    ⇒ ∠PQT = 90° – ∠QPT
    ⇒ ∠Q = 90° – ∠QPT .....(ii)
    In ∆ PTR,
    ∠PRT + ∠TPR + ∠PTR = 180°
    ⇒ ∠PRT + ∠TPR + 90° = 180°
    ⇒ ∠PRT + ∠TPR = 90°
    ⇒ ∠PRT = 90° – ∠TPR ....(iii)
    By equation (ii) – (iii),
    ∠Q – ∠R = (90° – ∠QPT) – (90° – ∠TPR)
    ⇒ ∠Q – ∠R = ∠TPR – ∠QPT

  1. The angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. What will be the radian measure of the largest angle of the triangle ?

    As we know that Sum of all angles of a traingle = 180°
    The ratio of angles of a triangle = 1 : 2 : 3.
    ∴ Sum of ratios = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6

    ∴ Largest angle =
    3
    × 180° = 90°
    6

    ∵ 180° = π radian

    Correct Option: A
