As per the given in question , we draw a figure right-angled triangle BAC
BD = DC = 1 BC 2
∴AC² = AD² + CD²
AB² = AD² + BD²
AC² = AD² + CD²
On adding, we get
AB² + AC² = 2AD² + 2CD²
Correct Option: A

∴AC² = AD² + CD²
AB² = AD² + BD²
AC² = AD² + CD²
On adding, we get
AB² + AC² = 2AD² + 2CD²
⇒ BC² = 2AD² + 2CD²
⇒ 4CD² = 2AD² + 2CD²
⇒ AD² = CD²
⇒ AD = CD = BD
Mid point on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is equidistant from the vertices.

Here , Ratio of sides = 3 : 5 : 13 4 4
Ratio of sides = 12 : 5 : 13
Correct Option: A
Here , Ratio of sides = 3 : 5 : 13 4 4
Ratio of sides = 12 : 5 : 13
∴ 5² + 12² = 13²
From above relation it is clear that It is a right angled triangle .

Required interior angle = (2n - 4) × 90° 8
Here , n = 8Required interior angle = (2 × 8 - 4) × 90° 8
Correct Option: A
Required interior angle = (2n - 4) × 90° 8
Here , n = 8Required interior angle = (2 × 8 - 4) × 90° 8 Required interior angle = 12 × 90° = 135° 8

As we know that Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360°
But 360° = 7.2 ≠ a whole number 50 Correct Option: D
As we know that Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360°
But 360° = 7.2 ≠ a whole number 50
Hence , 50° angle cannot be an exterior angle of a regular polygon .

Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n
Sum of interior angles = (2n – 4) × 90°
Sum of exterior angles = 360°
From question ,
∴ (2n – 4) × 90° = 2 × 360°⇒ 2n - 4 = 2 × 360° = 8 90
⇒ 2n – 4 = 8
⇒ 2n = 8 + 4 = 12
Correct Option: B
Let Number of sides of regular polygon = n
Sum of interior angles = (2n – 4) × 90°
Sum of exterior angles = 360°
From question ,
∴ (2n – 4) × 90° = 2 × 360°⇒ 2n - 4 = 2 × 360° = 8 90
⇒ 2n – 4 = 8
⇒ 2n = 8 + 4 = 12⇒ n = 12 = 6 2
