Which of the following is the set of measures of the sides of a triangle?
  • A
    $8\ cm, 4\ cm, 20\ cm$
  • $9\ cm, 17\ cm, 25\ cm$
  • C
    $11\ cm, 16\ cm, 28\ cm$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: B.
$9\ cm, 17\ cm, 25\ cm$
We knwno that Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of two side lengths of a triangle is always greater than the third side.
Using this in $(a)$, we get
$8 + 4 \geq20$
$\Rightarrow 12 \geq20$
So, triangle is not possible
Using this in $(b)$, we get
$9 + 17 > 25$
$\Rightarrow 26 > 25$
and,
$9 + 25 > 7$
$\Rightarrow 34 > 7$
and,
$17 + 25 > 9$
$\Rightarrow 42 > 9$
So, triangle is possible.
Using this in $(c)$, we get
$11 + 16\geq 28$
$\Rightarrow 27 \geq 28$
So, triangle is not possible.
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

Which of the following is/ are not Pythagorean triplet $(s)?$
  • A
    $3,4,5$
  • B
    $8,15,17$
  • C
    $7,24,25$
  • $13,26,29$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$13,26,29$
In $(a)$
$3^2+4^2=5^2$
$\Rightarrow 9+16=25$
$\Rightarrow 25=25$
Since, the sum of the square of two smallest number is equal to the square of largest number.
Hence, it is a Pythagorean triplet.
In $(b)$
$8^2+15^2=17^2$
$\Rightarrow 64+225=289$
$\Rightarrow 289=289$
Since, the sum of the square of two smallest number is equal to the square of largest number.
Hence, it is a Pythagorean triplet.
In $(c)$
$7^2+24^2=25^2$
$\Rightarrow 49+576=625$
$\Rightarrow 625=625$
Since, the sum of the square of two smallest number is equal to the square of largest number.
Hence, it is a Pythagorean triplet.
In $(d)$
$13^2+26^2 \neq 29^2$
$\Rightarrow 169+676 \neq 841$
$\Rightarrow 845 \neq 841$
Since, the sum of the square of two smallest number is not equal to the square of largest number.
Hence, it is not a Pythagorean triplet.
Hence, the correct answer is option $(d).$

MCQ 31 Mark
In a $\triangle \text{ABC},$ if $2\angle \text{A}=3\angle \text{B}=6\angle \text{C},$ then th s measure of the smallest angle is:
  • A
    $90^\circ$
  • B
    $60^\circ$
  • C
    $40^\circ$
  • $30^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$30^\circ$

We have,
$2\angle \text{A}=3\angle \text{B}=6\angle \text{C}$
$\therefore 3\angle \text{B}=2\angle \text{A}$ and $6\angle \text{C}=2\angle \text{A}$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{B}=\frac{2}{3}\angle \text{A}$ and $\angle \text{C}=\frac{2}{6}\angle \text{A}=\frac{1}{3}\angle \text{A}$
Now, $\angle \text{A}+\angle \text{B}+\angle \text{C}=180^\circ$ [Angle sum property of triangle$]$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{A}+\frac{2}{3}\angle \text{A}+\frac{1}{3}\angle \text{A}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow 3\angle \text{A}+2\angle \text{A}+\angle \text{A}=180^\circ\times3$
$\Rightarrow 6\angle \text{A}=540^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{A}=90^\circ$
$\therefore$ Smallest angle $=\angle \text{C}=\frac{1}{3}\angle \text{A}=\frac{1}{3}\times90^\circ$
$=30^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(d).$

If the exterior angles of a triangle are $(2x + 10)^\circ , (3x - 5)^\circ $ and $(2x + 40)^\circ ,$ then $x =$
  • A
    $25$
  • B
    $35$
  • $45$
  • D
    $55$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$45$
Sum of the exterior angles of a triangle is $360^\circ $
$\therefore \ (2x + 10)^\circ + (3x - 5)^\circ + (2x + 40)^\circ = 360^\circ $
$\Rightarrow 2x + 10 + 3x - 5 + 2x + 40 = 360$
$\Rightarrow 7x + 45 = 360$
$\Rightarrow 7x = 315$
$\Rightarrow x = 45$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(c)$

$\angle \text{TRS}+\angle \text{TRQ}=180^\circ [$Linear angles$]$
$\Rightarrow 5\text{x}^\circ+\angle \text{TRQ}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{TEQ}=180^\circ-5\text{x}^\circ$
Now, $\angle \text{QTR}+\angle \text{TRQ}=\angle \text{PQT} [$Exterior angle property of triangle$]$
$\Rightarrow 3\text{x}^\circ+180^\circ-5\text{x}^\circ=120^\circ$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{x}^\circ=60^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=30$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

$x = 41, y = 90$

Since, $AB \| CD$
$\angle \text{ABD}+\angle \text{CDB}=180^\circ [$Angles on the same side of a transversal line are supplementary$]$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}^\circ+27^\circ+112^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}^\circ=41^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=41$
Now, In $\triangle \text{ABC},$
$\angle \text{A}+\angle \text{B}+\angle \text{C}=180^\circ [$Angle sum property of triangle$]$
$\Rightarrow 49^\circ+41^\circ+\text{y}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{y}^\circ=90^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{y}=90$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(a).$

In Fig. the value of $x$ is:
  • A
    $20$
  • $30$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $25$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$30$

$\angle \text{TRS}+\angle \text{TRQ}=180^\circ [$Linear angles$]$
$\Rightarrow 5\text{x}^\circ+\angle \text{TRQ}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{TEQ}=180^\circ-5\text{x}^\circ$
Now, $\angle \text{QTR}+\angle \text{TRQ}=\angle \text{PQT} [$Exterior angle property of triangle$]$
$\Rightarrow 3\text{x}^\circ+180^\circ-5\text{x}^\circ=120^\circ$
$\Rightarrow 2\text{x}^\circ=60^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \text{x}=30$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

A ladder is placed in such a way that its foot is $15m$ away from the wall and its top reaches a window $20m$ above the ground. The length of the ladder is:
  • A
    $35 m$
  • $25 m$
  • C
    $18 m$
  • D
    $17.5 m$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$25 m$
Suppose $BC$ is the ladder which is placed againts the wall $OA.$ The foot of the ladder $C$ is $15m$ away from the foot $O$ of the wall and its top reaches the window which is $20m$ above the ground.

In right traingle $\text{BOC ,}$
$BC^2=OC^2+OB^2$
$\Rightarrow BC^2=(15)^2+(20)^2$
$\Rightarrow BC^2=225+400$
$\Rightarrow BC^2=625$
$\Rightarrow BC^2=(25)^2$
$\Rightarrow BC=25 m$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

In which of the following cases can a right triangle $\text{ABC}$ be constructed?
  • A
    $AB =5 \ cm, BC =7 \ cm, AC =10 \ cm$
  • B
    $AB =7 \ cm, BC =8 \ cm, AC =12 \ cm$
  • $AB =8 \ cm, BC =17 \ cm, AC =15 \ cm$
  • D
    None of these.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$AB =8 \ cm, BC =17 \ cm, AC =15 \ cm$
$B C^2=A C^2+A B^2$
$\Rightarrow(17)^2=(15)^2+(8)^2$
$\Rightarrow 289=225+64$
$\Rightarrow 289=289$
Since, the sum of the square of two smallest side is equal to the square of largest side.
Hence, $\text{ABC}$ is a right angle triangle at $A$.
Hence, the correct answer is option $(c).$

In which of the following cases, a right triangle cannot be constructed?
  • $12 cm, 5 cm, 13 cm$
  • B
    $8 cm, 6 cm, 10 cm$
  • C
    $5 cm, 9 cm, 11 cm$
  • D
    None of these.
     
Answer
Correct option: A.
$12 cm, 5 cm, 13 cm$
$12 cm, 5 cm, 13 cm$

$\text { In (a) }$

$12^2+5^2=13^2$

$\Rightarrow 144+25=169$

$\Rightarrow 169$

Since, the sum of the square of two smallest side is equal to the square of largest side.

Hence, a right triangle can be constructed.

In (b)

$8^2+6^2=10^2$

$\Rightarrow 44+36=100$

$\Rightarrow 100=100$

Since, the sum of the square of two smallest side is equal to the square of largest side.

Hence, a right triangle can be constructed.

$\text { In (c) }$

$5^2+9^2 \neq 11^2$

$\Rightarrow 25+81 \neq 121$

$\Rightarrow 106 \neq 121$

Since, the sum of the square of two smallest side is not equal to the square of largest side.

Hence, a right triangle can not be constructed.

Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

In a $\triangle \text{ABC},$ if $\angle \text{A}+\angle \text{B}=150^\circ$ and $\angle \text{B}+\angle \text{C}=75^\circ,$ then $\angle \text{B} =$
  • A
    $35^\circ$
  • $45^\circ$
  • C
    $55^\circ$
  • D
    $25^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$45^\circ$

$\angle \text{A}+\angle \text{B}+\angle \text{C}=180^\circ [$Angle sum property of triangle$]$
$\Rightarrow 150^\circ+\angle \text{C}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{C}=30^\circ$
Now, $\angle \text{B}+\angle \text{C}=75^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{B}+30^\circ=75^\circ$
$\Rightarrow \angle \text{B}=45^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is option $(b).$

In a right triangle, one of the acute angles is four times the other. Its measure is:
  • A
    $68^\circ$
  • B
    $84^\circ$
  • C
    $80^\circ$
  • $72^\circ$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$72^\circ$

Let the smallest angle be $x$, then the other angle be $4x.$
Now,
$x + 4x + 90^\circ = 180^\circ $
$\Rightarrow 5x = 90^\circ $
$\Rightarrow x = 18^\circ $
Thus, the measure of the angles are $18^\circ ,$ and $4(18)^\circ = 72^\circ $
Hence, the correct answer is option $(d).$

  • C
    $40$
  • $45$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$45$

$\angle \text{ACD}+\angle \text{ACB}=180^\circ [$Linear angles$]$
$\Rightarrow 91^\circ+\angle \text{ACB}=180^\circ$
