$\triangle\text{ABC}$ is a right triangle right-angled at A and $\text{AD}\perp\text{BC}.$ Then, $\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{DC}}=$
  • $\Big(\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}\Big)^2$
  • B
    $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}$
  • C
    $\Big(\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AD}}\Big)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AD}}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\Big(\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}\Big)^2$


In right angled $\triangle\text{ABC},\ \angle\text{A}=90^\circ$
$\text{AD}\perp\text{BC}$
$\therefore\triangle\text{ABD}\sim\triangle\text{ABC}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{BC}}=\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{AB}}\Rightarrow\text{AB}^2=\text{BD}\times\text{BC}\ \ ...(\text{i})$
Similarly $\triangle\text{ACD}\sim\triangle\text{ABC}$
$\therefore\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{BC}}=\frac{\text{DC}}{\text{AC}}\Rightarrow\text{AC}^2=\text{DC}\times\text{BC}\ \ ...(\text{ii})$
Dividing (ii) by (i)
$\frac{\text{BD}\times\text{BC}}{\text{DC}\times{\text{BC}}}=\frac{\text{AB}^2}{\text{AC}^2}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{DC}}=\frac{\text{AB}^2}{\text{AC}^2}$
Hence $\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{DC}}=\frac{\text{AB}^2}{\text{AC}^2}$

If $\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$ such that $DE = 3cm, EF = 2cm, DF = 2.5cm, BC = 4cm$, then perimeter of $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is:
  • A
    $18cm$.
  • B
    $20cm$.
  • C
    $12cm$.
  • $15cm$.
Answer
Correct option: D.
$15cm$.


$\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$
$DE = 3cm, EF = 2cm, DF = 2.5cm, BC = 4cm$
$\because\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{DEF}$
$\therefore$ Perimeter of $\triangle\text{DEF}$
$= DE + EF + DF$
$= 3 + 2 + 2.5 = 7.5cm$
Now $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{DF}}=\frac{\text{AB}+\text{BC}+\text{CA}}{\text{DE}+\text{EF}+\text{DF}}$
$=\frac{4}{2}=\frac{\text{AB}+\text{BC}+\text{CA}}{7.5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}+\text{BC}+\text{CA}=\frac{4\times7.5}{2}=15$
$\therefore$ Perimeter of $\triangle\text{ABC}=15\text{cm}.$

$\triangle\text{ABC}$ is such that $AB = 3cm, BC = 2cm$ and $CA = 2.5cm$. If $\triangle\text{DEF}\sim\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $EF = 4cm$, then perimeter of $\triangle\text{DEF}$ is:
  • A
    $7.5cm$.
  • $15cm$.
  • C
    $22.5cm$.
  • D
    $30cm$.
Answer
Correct option: B.
$15cm$.
$\triangle\text{DEF}\sim\triangle\text{ABC}$
$AB = 3cm, BC = 2cm, CA = 2.5cm, EF = 4cm$.
$\triangle\text{s}$ are similar
$\frac{\text{DE}}{\text{AB}}=\frac{\text{EF}}{\text{BC}}=\frac{\text{FD}}{\text{CA}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{DE}}{3}=\frac{4}{2}=\frac{\text{FD}}{2.5}$
Now $\frac{\text{DE}}{3}=\frac{4}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{DE}=\frac{3\times4}{2}=6\text{cm}$
and $\text{FD}=\frac{4}{2}\Rightarrow\text{FD}=\frac{4\times2.5}{2}=5\text{cm}$
$\therefore$ Perimeter of $\triangle\text{DEF}$
$=6+4+5=15\text{cm}.$

MCQ 41 Mark
If $D, E, F$ are the mid-points of sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$ respectively of $\triangle\text{ABC},$ then the ratio of the areas of triangles $DEF$ and $ABC$ is:
  • $1 : 4$
     
  • B
    $1 : 2$
     
  • C
    $2 : 3$
     
  • D
    $4 : 5$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$1 : 4$
 
Given: In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ $D, E$ and $F$ are the midpoints of $BC, CA,$ and $AB$ respectively.
To find: Ratio of the areas of $\triangle\text{DEF}$ and $\triangle\text{ABC}$
Since it is given that D and, E are the midpoints of BC, and AC respectively.
Therefore $DE || AB, DE || FA ….(1)$
Again it is given that D and, F are the midpoints of BC, and, AB respectively.
Therefore, $DF || CA, DF || AE …(2)$
From $(1)$ and $(2)$ we get AFDE is a parallelogram.
Similarly we can prove that BDEF is a parallelogram.
Now, in $\triangle\text{ADE}$ and $\triangle\text{ABC}$
$\angle\text{FDE}=\angle\text{A}$ (Opposite angles of $||^{gm}$ AFDE)
$\angle\text{DEF}=\angle\text{B}$ (Opposite angles of $||^{gm}$ BDEF)

We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.
$\frac{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}=\Big(\frac{\text{DE}}{\text{AB}}\Big)^2$
$\frac{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}=\bigg(\frac{\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}}{\text{AB}}\bigg)^2\Big(\text{Since DE}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}\Big)$
$\frac{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}=\Big(\frac{1}{4}\Big)$
Hence the correct option is $A$.

In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ point $D$ is on side $AB$ and point $E$ is on side $AC$, such that $BCED$ is a trapezium. If $DE : BC = 3 : 5$, then $\text{Area}(\triangle\text{ADE}):\text{Area}(\Box\text{BCED})=$
  • A
    $3 : 4.$
  • $9 : 16.$
  • C
    $3 : 5.$
  • D
    $9 : 25.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$9 : 16.$


Given: In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ $D$ is on side $AB$ and point $E$ is on side $AC$, such that $BCED$ is a trapezium. $DE : BC = 3 : 5.$
To find: Calculate the ratio of the areas of $\triangle\text{ADE}$ and the trapezium $BCED$.
In $\triangle\text{ADE}$ and $\triangle\text{ABC},$
$\angle\text{ADE}=\angle\text{B}$ (Corresponding angles)
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{A}$ (Common)
$\therefore\triangle\text{ADE}\sim\triangle\text{ABC}$ $(AA$ similarity$)$
We know that
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ADE})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}=\frac{\text{DE}^2}{\text{BC}^2}$
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ADE})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}=\frac{3^2}{5^2}$
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ADE})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}=\frac{9}{25}$
Let area of $\triangle\text{ADE}=9\text{x}\text{ sq}.$ units and area of $\triangle\text{ABC}=25\text{x}\text{ sq}.$ units
$\text{Ar[trap BCED]}=\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})-\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ADE})$
$=25\text{x}-9\text{x}$
$=16\text{x sq. units}$
Now,
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ADE})}{\text{Ar}(\text{trap BCED})}=\frac{9\text{x}}{16\text{x}}$
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ADE})}{\text{Ar}(\text{trap BCED})}=\frac{9}{16}$
Hence the correct answer is $B$.

MCQ 101 Mark
Two isosceles triangles have equal angles and their areas are in the ratio $16 : 25$. The ratio of their corresponding heights is:
  • $4 : 5$.
  • B
    $5 : 4$.
  • C
    $3 : 2$.
  • D
    $5 : 7$.
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4 : 5$.
Given: two isosceles triangles have equal vertical angles and their areas are in the ratio of $16 : 25$.
To find: Ratio of their corresponding heights.

Let $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{PQR}$ be two isosceles triangles such that $\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{P}.$ Suppose $\text{AD}\perp\text{BC}$ and $\text{PS}\perp\text{QR}.$
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{PQR},$
$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{PQ}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{PR}}$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{P}$
$\therefore\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{PQR}$ (SAS similarity)
We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the squares of their corresponding altitudes.
Hence,
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{PQR})}=\Big(\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{PS}}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{16}{25}=\Big(\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{PS}}\Big)^2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{PS}}=\frac{4}{5}$
Hence we got the result as $A$.

In a $\triangle\text{ABC},\ \angle\text{A}=90^\circ,$ $AB = 5cm$ and $AC = 12cm$. If $\text{AD}\perp\text{BC},$ then $AD =$
  • A
    $\frac{13}{2}\text{cm}.$
  • $\frac{60}{13}\text{cm}.$
  • C
    $\frac{13}{60}\text{cm}.$
  • D
    $\frac{2\sqrt{15}}{13}\text{cm}.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{60}{13}\text{cm}.$
In$\triangle\text{ABC},$
$\angle\text{A}=90^\circ,$ $AB = 5cm, AC = 12cm$

$\text{AD}\perp\text{BC}$
$\text{BC}^2=\text{AB}^2+\text{AC}^2$ (Pythagoras Theorem)
$=(5)^2+(12)^2$
$=25+144=169=(13)^2$
$\therefore\text{BC}=13\text{cm}$
Now area of $\triangle\text{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}\times\text{AC}$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times12=30\text{cm}^2$
and also area of $\triangle\text{ABC}=\frac{1}{2}\text{BC}\times\text{AD}$
$\Rightarrow30=\frac{1}{2}\times13\times\text{AD}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AD}=\frac{30\times2}{13}=\frac{60}{13}\text{cm}.$

  • B
    $65^\circ$
  • $75^\circ$
  • D
    $85^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: C.
$75^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF},$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{E}=40^\circ$
$AB : ED = AC : EF,$ $\angle\text{F}=65^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{ED}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{EF}}$
$\because$ In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{EDF},$
$\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{E}$ $($each $= 40^\circ )$
$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{ED}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{EF}}$ (given)
$\therefore\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{EDF}$ (SAS criterion)
$\therefore\angle\text{C}=\angle\text{F}=65^\circ$
and $\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{D}$
But $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ (Sum of angles of a triangle)
$\Rightarrow40^\circ+65^\circ+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow105^\circ+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\therefore\angle\text{C}=180^\circ-105^\circ=75^\circ$

In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{BDA}$
$\angle\text{BAC}=\angle\text{ADC}=90^\circ$
$\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{B}$ (Common)
$\triangle\text{ABC}\sim\triangle\text{BDA}$
$\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{AD}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AB}}\ ....(1)$
Using Pythagoras theorem in $\triangle\text{ABC}$ we get
$\text{BC}=\sqrt{(12)^2+(5)^2}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BC}=\sqrt{144+25}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BC}=\sqrt{169}$
$\Rightarrow\text{BC}={13}\text{cm}$
From (1)
$\Rightarrow\frac{12}{\text{AD}}=\frac{13}{5}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AD}=\frac{12\times5}{13}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AD}=\frac{60}{13}\text{cm}.$

The areas of two similar triangles are $121cm^2$ and $64cm^2$ respectively. If the median of the first triangle is $12.1cm$, then the corresponding median of the other triangle is:
  • A
    $11cm.$
     
  • $8.8cm.$
     
  • C
    $11.1cm.$
     
  • D
    $8.1cm.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$8.8cm.$
 

Given: The area of two similar triangles is $121cm^2$ and $64cm^2$ respectively. The median of the first triangle is $12.1cm$.
To find: Corresponding medians of the other triangle.
We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their medians.
$\frac{\text{ar}(\text{triangle 1})}{\text{ar}(\text{triangle 2})}=\Big(\frac{\text{median 1}}{\text{median 2}}\Big)^2$
$\frac{121}{64}=\Big(\frac{12.1}{\text{median 2}}\Big)^2$
Taking square root on both side, we get,
$\frac{11}{8}=\frac{12.1\text{cm}}{\text{median 2}}$
$\Rightarrow$ median$2$ $= 8.8cm$
Hence the correct answer is $B$.

  • B
    $26cm.$
     
  • $27cm.$
     
  • D
    $30cm.$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$27cm.$
 
Given: Areas of two similar triangles $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF}$ are $144cm^2$ and $81cm^2$.
If the longest side of larger $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is $36cm$
To find: the longest side of the smaller triangle $\triangle\text{DEF}$
We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.
$\frac{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{\text{ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}=\Big(\frac{\text{longest side of larger }\triangle\text{ABC}}{\text{longest side of smaller }\triangle\text{DEF}}\Big)^2$
$\frac{144}{81}=\Big(\frac{36}{\text{longest side of smaller}\ \triangle\text{DEF}}\Big)^2$
Taking aquare root on both sides, we get
$\frac{12}{9}=\frac{36}{\text{longest side of smaller}\ \triangle\text{DEF}}$
longest side of smaller $\triangle\text{DEF}=\frac{36\times9}{12}=27\text{cm}$
Hence the correct answer is $C$.

Given: $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF}$ are two triangles such that $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}=\frac{\text{CA}}{\text{FD}}=\frac{2}{5}$
To find: $\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC}):\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})$
We know that if the sides of two triangles are proportional, then the two triangles are similar.
Since $\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}=\frac{\text{CA}}{\text{FD}}=\frac{2}{5},$ therefore, $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DEF}$ are similar.
We know that the ratio of areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides.
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}=\frac{\text{AB}^2}{\text{DE}^2}$
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}=\frac{2^2}{5^2}$
$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}=\frac{4}{25}$

  • B
    $ 3 \mathrm{BE}^2 $
     
  • $ 4 \mathrm{BE}^2 $
     
  • D
    $ 6 \mathrm{BE}^2$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$ 4 \mathrm{BE}^2 $
 


In triangle $ABC, E$ is a point on $AC$ such that $\text{BE}\perp\text{AC}.$
We need to find $AB^2+ BC^2+ AC^2$
Since $\text{BE}\perp\text{AC},$ $\text{CE} = \text{AE} = \frac{\text{AC}}{2}$ (In a equilateral triangle, the perpendicular from the vertex bisects the base.)
In triangle ABE, we have,
$ A B^2=B E^2+A E^2 $
$ \text { Since } A B=B C=A C $
$ \text { Therefore, } A B^2=B C^2=A C^2=B E^2+A E^2 $
$ \Rightarrow A B^2+B C^2+A C^2=3 B E^2+3 A E^2$
Since in triangle BE is an altitude, so $\text{BE}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{AB}$
$\text{BE}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\text{AB}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times\text{AC}$
$=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\times2\text{AE}=\sqrt{3}\text{AE}$
$\Rightarrow\text{AB}^2+\text{BC}^2+\text{AC}^2=3\text{BE}^2+3\Big(\frac{\text{BE}}{\sqrt{3}}\Big)^2$
$=3\text{BE}^2+\text{BE}^2=4\text{BE}^2$
Hence option $C$ is correct.

  • $35cm.$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$35cm.$
Given: $\triangle\text{ABC}$ is similar to $\triangle\text{DEF}$ such that $AB= 9.1cm, DE = 6.5cm$. Perimeter of $\triangle\text{DEF}$ is $25cm$.
To find: Perimeter of $\triangle\text{ABC}.$
We know that the ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is equal to the ratio of their perimeters.
Hence,
$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{EF}}=\frac{\text{AC}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{P1}}{\text{P2}}$
$\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DE}}=\frac{\text{P}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{\text{P}(\triangle\text{DEF})}$
$\frac{9.1}{6.5}=\frac{\text{P}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{25}$
$\text{P}(\triangle\text{ABC})=\frac{9.1\times25}{6.5}$
$\text{P}(\triangle\text{ABC})=35\text{cm}$

$\frac{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{ABC})}{\text{Ar}(\triangle\text{DEF})}=\frac{\text{BC}^2}{\text{EF}^2}$
$\frac{9}{16}=\frac{2.1^2}{\text{EF}^2}$

$ABCD$ is a trapezium such that $BC || AD$ and $AD = 4\ cm$. If the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ intersect at $O$ such that $\frac{\text{AO}}{\text{OC}}=\frac{\text{DO}}{\text{OB}}=\frac{1}{2},$ then $BC =$
  • A
    $7\ cm.$
  • $8\ cm.$
  • C
    $9\ cm.$
  • D
    $6\ cm.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$8\ cm.$
We have,

$\frac{\text{AO}}{\text{OC}}=\frac{\text{DO}}{\text{OB}}=\frac{1}{2}$
In $\triangle\text{AOB}$ and $\triangle\text{DOC}$
$\angle\text{AOB}=\angle\text{DOC}$ (Vertically oposite angle)
$\angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OCD}$ (Alternate angle)
$\therefore\triangle\text{AOB}\sim\triangle\text{DOC}$
$\frac{\text{AO}}{\text{OC}}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{DC}}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4}{\text{DC}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{DC}=4\times2$
$\Rightarrow\text{DC}=8\text{cm}.$

$XY$ is drawn parallel to the base $BC$ of a $\triangle\text{ABC}$ cutting $AB$ at $X$ and $AC$ at $Y$. If $AB = 4 BX$ and $YC = 2cm$, then $AY =$
  • A
    $2\ cm.$
  • B
    $4\ cm.$
  • $6\ cm.$
  • D
    $8\ cm.$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$6\ cm.$
In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ $XY || BC$
$AB = 4BX, YC = 2cm$

$\therefore$ $AB = 4BX $
$​​​​​​​\Rightarrow AX + BX = 4BX$
$\Rightarrow AX = 4BX - BX = 3BX$
Let $AY = x$
$\because$ In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ $XY || BC$
$\frac{\text{AX}}{\text{BX}}=\frac{\text{AY}}{\text{CY}}\Rightarrow\frac{\text{3BX}}{\text{BX}}=\frac{\text{x}}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3}{1}=\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Rightarrow\text{x}=3\times2=6$
$\therefore$ $AY = 6cm.$

If $ABC$ is a right triangle right-angled at $B$ and $M, N$ are the mid-points of $AB$ and $BC$ respectively, then $4\left(\mathrm{AN^2+C M^2}\right)=$
  • A
    $4\text{AC}^2$
     
  • $5\text{AC}^2$
     
  • C
    $\frac{5}{4}\text{AC}^2$
     
  • D
    $6\text{AC}^2$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$5\text{AC}^2$
 


$M$ is the mid-point of $AB$.
$\therefore\text{BM}=\frac{\text{AB}}{2}$
$N$ is the mid-point of $BC$.
$\therefore\text{BN}=\frac{\text{BC}}{2}$
Now,
$\text{AN}^2+\text{CM}^2=\bigg(\text{AB}^2+\Big(\frac{1}{2}\text{BC}\Big)^2\bigg)+\bigg(\Big(\frac{1}{2}\text{AB}\Big)^2+\text{BC}^2\bigg)$
$=\text{AB}^2+\frac{1}{4}\text{BC}^2+\frac{1}{4}\text{AB}^2+\text{BC}^2$
$=\frac{5}{4}\Big(\text{AB}^2+\text{BC}^2\Big)$
$\Rightarrow4\Big(\text{AN}^2+\text{CM}^2\Big)=5\text{AC}^2$
Hence option $B$ is correct.

  • $6\sqrt{2}\text{cm}.$
     
  • B
    $6\text{cm}.$
     
  • C
    $2\sqrt{6}\text{cm}.$
     
  • D
    $4\sqrt{2}\text{cm}.$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$6\sqrt{2}\text{cm}.$
 

$\triangle\text{ABC}$ is an isosceles with $\angle\text{C}=90^\circ$

$AC = BC$
$AC = 6cm$
$A B^2=A C^2+B C^2 \text { (Pythagoras Theorem) }$
$(6)^2+(6)^2=36+36=72(A C=B C)$
$\text{AB}=\sqrt{72}=\sqrt{(36\times2}=6\sqrt{2}\text{cm}.$
