  1. In a Δ ABC, AD intersects ∠ A and BC. If BC = a, AC = b and AB = c, Then :
    1. CD=b+c
      ab
    2. CD=ab
      b+c
    3. CD=bc+ab
      ac
    4. CD=ac
      cb+ab
    5. None of these
Correct Option: B

From given figure , we have
Since AD bisects ∠BAC
We know that ,

c=BD(Internal bisector prop.)
bCD

Adding 1 to both the sides
c + 1=BD + 1
bCD

c+b=BD+CD
bCD

c+b=a⇒CD =ab
bCDb+c

Similarly it can be proved that BD =ac
b+c

Also , BD + CD = BC
∴ BD +ab=a
b+c

⇒ BD = a -abab + ac - ab=ac
b+cb+cb+c
