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

    AP < AB
    BQ < BC
    CR < AC

    Correct Option: B

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

    AP < AB
    BQ < BC
    CR < AC
    ∴ AP + BQ + CR < AB + BC + AC
    ⇒The sum of three altitudes of a triangle is less than the sum of sides.

    We draw a figure of an isosceles right angled triangle having ∠ C = 90° ,

    AC² + CB² = AB²
    ⇒ 2BC² = (AD + DB)²
    ⇒ 2BC² = AD² + DB² + 2AD.BD ..... (i)
    ∆ CEB and ∆CED are right angles.
    CD² = CE² + ED²
    and, BC² = CE² + BE²
    BC² – CD² = BE² – DE²
    BC² – CD² = (BE + DE) (BE – DE)
    BC² – CD² = (AE + DE) (BE – DE)

    Correct Option: B

    We draw a figure of an isosceles right angled triangle having ∠ C = 90° ,

    AC² + CB² = AB²
    ⇒ 2BC² = (AD + DB)²
    ⇒ 2BC² = AD² + DB² + 2AD.BD ..... (i)
    ∆ CEB and ∆CED are right angles.
    CD² = CE² + ED²
    and, BC² = CE² + BE²
    BC² – CD² = BE² – DE²
    BC² – CD² = (BE + DE) (BE – DE)
    BC² – CD² = (AE + DE) (BE – DE)
    BC² – CD² = AD . BD ..... (ii)
    ∴ From equations (i) and (ii)
    AD² + DB² = 2CD²

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC which bisectors PO and OQ of the exterior angles ∠ABD and &Ang;ACE formed by producing BC on both sides, meet at O

    Given , AB = AC
    ∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 140 ÷ 2 = 70°
    ∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACE = 180° - 70° = 110°

    Correct Option: A

    ∠QCE = ∠BCO = 55°
    &there4 ∠BOC = 180° – 2 × 55° = 180° – 110° = 70°
