    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC whose AD is the bisector of ∠A and AE is drawn perpendicular on BC from A ,

    Given that , ∠B = 60°, ∠C = 40°
    ∠BAC = 180° – 60° – 40° = 80°
    ∠BAD = ∠DAC = 40°

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

    In any triangle, the sum of the squares of any two sides is equal to twice the square of half of the third side together with twice the square of the median bisecting it.
    ∴ AB² + AC² = 2 (AD² + BD²)

    ⇒ AB² + AC² = 2 AD² +
    BC²
    4

    ⇒ 2(AB² + AC²) = 4AD² + BC²
    Similarly,
    2(AB² + BC²) = 4 BE² + AC²
    2 (AC² + BC²) = 4 CF² + AB²

    Correct Option: E

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

    In any triangle, the sum of the squares of any two sides is equal to twice the square of half of the third side together with twice the square of the median bisecting it.
    ∴ AB² + AC² = 2 (AD² + BD²)

    ⇒ AB² + AC² = 2 AD² +
    BC²
    4

    ⇒ 2(AB² + AC²) = 4AD² + BC²
    Similarly,
    2(AB² + BC²) = 4 BE² + AC²
    2 (AC² + BC²) = 4 CF² + AB²
    On adding all three, we get
    4 (AB² + BC² + AC²) = 4 (AD² + BE² + CF²) + BC² + AC² + AB²
    ⇒ 3 (AB² + BC² + AC²) = 4 (AD² + BE² + CF²)

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC whose I is incentre,

    In ∆ ABC,
    We know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠ = 180°
    ∴ ∠B + ∠ = 180° – ∠A

    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.
