    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC in which D and E are two mid points of sides AB and AC respectively.

    Here , ∠BAC = 40°, ∠ABC = 65°
    ∴ ∠ACB = 180° – ∠BAC - ∠ABC = 180° - 40° – 65° = 75°
    DE || BC

    Correct Option: D

    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC in which D and E are two mid points of sides AB and AC respectively.

    Here , ∠BAC = 40°, ∠ABC = 65°
    ∴ ∠ACB = 180° – ∠BAC - ∠ABC = 180° - 40° – 65° = 75°
    DE || BC
    ∴ ∠AED = ∠ACB = 75°
    ∴ ∠CED = 180° – 75° = 105°

    Firstly , We draw a figure in which O is the orthocentre of ∆ ABC ,

    ∴ ∠BOC = 180° – ∠A

    Correct Option: C

    Firstly , We draw a figure in which O is the orthocentre of ∆ ABC ,

    ∴ ∠BOC = 180° – ∠A
    ⇒ ∠BOC + ∠BAC = 180°

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

    ∠BDO = 90°
    ∠BOD = 30°
    ∴ ∠DBO = 60°
    ∠B = ∠C = 60°
    ∴ ∠EOC = 30°
    AO is bisector of BC.

    Correct Option: B

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

    ∠BDO = 90°
    ∠BOD = 30°
    ∴ ∠DBO = 60°
    ∠B = ∠C = 60°
    ∴ ∠EOC = 30°
    AO is bisector of BC.
    ∴ ∠DOE = 120°
    ∴ ∠AOE = ∠AOD = 60°

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

    In ∆ AQC,
    ∠A = 90°
    ⇒ CQ² = AC² + QA²
    ⇒ 4CQ² = 4AC² + 4QA²
    ⇒ 4CQ² = 4AC² + (2QA)²
    ⇒ 4CQ² = 4AC² + AB²
    [∵AB = 2QA]
    In ∆ BPA,
    BP² = BA² + AP²
    ⇒ 4BP² = 4BA² + 4AP²
    ⇒ 4BP² = 4BA² + AC²
    [∵ AC = 2AP]
    ∴ 4 CQ² + 4 BP² = 4 AC² + AB² + 4 AB² + AC²
    ⇒ 4(CQ² + BP²) = 5(AC² + AB²) = 5 BC²

    Correct Option: B

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

    In ∆ AQC,
    ∠A = 90°

    BP² + CQ²

    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC extended in both the sides ,

    As we know that , ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠BAC = 180°
    Again, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°
    ∠ABC + ∠ABF = 180°
    ∠BAC + ∠EAC = 180°

    Correct Option: C

    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC extended in both the sides ,

    As we know that , ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠BAC = 180°
    Again, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°
    ∠ABC + ∠ABF = 180°
    ∠BAC + ∠EAC = 180°
    ∴ ∠ACD + ∠ABF + ∠CAE = 540 – 180° = 360°
    ∴ Required answer = 2 × 360° = 720 °
