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

    ∠B + ∠C = 60° + 40° = 100°
    ∴ ∠A = 180° – 100° = 80°
    ∴ ∠BAD = 40°
    In ∆ ABE,
    ∠AEB = 90°

    Correct Option: B

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

    ∠B + ∠C = 60° + 40° = 100°
    ∴ ∠A = 180° – 100° = 80°
    ∴ ∠BAD = 40°
    In ∆ ABE,
    ∠AEB = 90°
    ∴ ∠BAE = 180° – 90° – 60° = 30°
    ∴ ∠EAD = ∠BAD – ∠BAE = 40° – 30° = 10°

    We draw a figure triangle ABC whose the side BC is produced to D ,

    Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of remaining two interior angles.
    From triangle ,

    Given that , ∠A + ∠C = 140° and ∠A + ∠B = 180°
    In a ∆ ABC,
    We know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ⇒ ∠B + 140° = 180°
    ⇒ ∠B = 180° – 140° = 40°
    ∴ ∠A + 3 ∠B = 180°

    Correct Option: C

    Given that , ∠A + ∠C = 140° and ∠A + ∠B = 180°
    In a ∆ ABC,
    We know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ⇒ ∠B + 140° = 180°
    ⇒ ∠B = 180° – 140° = 40°
    ∴ ∠A + 3 ∠B = 180°
    ⇒ ∠A + 3 × 40° = 180°
    ⇒ ∠A = 180° – 120° = 60°.

    According to question ,
    We know that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
    We have , the set of three sides are 5 cm, 8 cm, 15 cm .

    Correct Option: B

    According to question ,
    We know that the sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side.
    We have , the set of three sides are 5 cm, 8 cm, 15 cm .
    ∴ (5 + 8) < 15
    (5 + 15) > 8
    (15 + 8) > 5
