MCQ
In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ if $\angle\text{A}=100^\circ,\text{AD}$ bisects $\angle\text{A}$ and $\text{AD}\perp\text{BC}.$ Then, $\angle\text{B}=$
  • A
    $50^\circ$
  • B
    $90^\circ$
  • $40^\circ$
  • D
    $100^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$40^\circ$

$\text{AD}\perp\text{BC}$ and $AD$ bisects $\angle\text{A}.$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}=\angle\text{CAD}=50^\circ$
In Right $\triangle\text{ADB}$
$\angle\text{BAD}=50^\circ,\angle\text{ADB}=90^\circ$
Also sum of all interior angles $= 180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BAD}+\angle\text{ADB}+\angle\text{B}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{B}=180^\circ-50^\circ-90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{B}=40^\circ$
