    As per the given question ,
    Ratio of supplementary angles = 2 : 3
    Let the supplementary angles are 2y and 3y .
    As we now that the sum of supplementary angles is 180°.
    ∴ 2y + 3y = 180

    Correct Option: C

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

    Here , ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
    BC = AB = AC = √13 cm
    BD = 2 cm
    In ∆ ABD,
    AB² = BD² + AD²

    Correct Option: A

    BC = AB = AC = √13 cm
    BD = 2 cm
    In ∆ ABD,
    AB² = BD² + AD²
    ⇒ (√13)² = (2)² + AD²
    ⇒ AD² = 13 – 4 = 9
    ⇒ AD = √9 = 3 cm



  1. D is a point on the side BC of a triangle ABC such that AD ⊥BC. E is a point on AD for which AE : ED = 5 : 1. If ∠BAD = 30° and tan (∠ ACB) = 6 tan (∠DBE), then ∠ACB =

    According to question , we draw a figure of a triangle ABC

    Given , ∠ BAD = 30° , AE : ED = 5 : 1 and tan (∠ ACB) = 6 tan (∠DBE)
    ∠ ABD = 60° [∵ ∠ADB = 90°]

    ∆ ADB ≌ ∆ ADC
    ⇒ ∠ABD = ∠ACD = 60°
    ∴∠ ACB = 60°
    Hence, ∆ ABC is an equilateral triangle

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of quadrilateral ABCD and its all sides touch a circle

    Given , AB = 6 cm, BC = 7.5 cm, CD = 3 cm,
    AE = AH
    BE = BF
    GC = FC
    GD = HD
    ⇒ AE + BE + GC + GD = AH + BF + FC + HD

    Correct Option: D

  1. ∠A, ∠B, ∠C are three angles of a triangle. If ∠A – ∠B = 15°, ∠B – ∠C = 30°, then ∠A, ∠B and ∠C are

    Here , ∠B – ∠C = 30°, ∠A – ∠B = 15°
    ∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° ....(i)
    (∠B – ∠C) – (∠A – ∠B) = 30° – 15°
    ⇒ 2 ∠B – ∠A – ∠C = 15° ....(ii)
    By adding (i) and (ii), we get
    3∠B = 180° + 15° = 195°
    ⇒ ∠B = 65°
    ∠A – ∠B = 15°

    Correct Option: C

    Here , ∠B – ∠C = 30°, ∠A – ∠B = 15°
    ∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° ....(i)
    (∠B – ∠C) – (∠A – ∠B) = 30° – 15°
    ⇒ 2 ∠B – ∠A – ∠C = 15° ....(ii)
    By adding (i) and (ii), we get
    3∠B = 180° + 15° = 195°
    ⇒ ∠B = 65°
    ∠A – ∠B = 15°
    ⇒ ∠A = 15° + 65° = 80°
    And ∠B – ∠C = 30°
    ⇒ ∠C = ∠B – 30° = 65° – 30° = 35°
