Triangles

Question 1 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In the adjoining figure AB, EF and CD are parallel lines. Given that GE = 5 cm, GC = 10 cm and DC = 18 cm, then EF is equal to: mcq questions triangle Aptitude12
A
11 cm
B
6 cm
C
5 cm
D
9 cm
Question 1 Explanation: 
In $\Delta$ GEF and $\Delta$ GCD, we have

EFG = ∠GCD (Alternative angle)

EFG = ∠CGD(Vertically opposite angles)

$\Delta$ GEF ~ $\Delta$ GCD

Thus,

GE/CG = EF/CD

or, 5/10 = EF/18

or, EF = 9 cm.

Question 2 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A triangle cannot be drawn with the following three sides
A
5m, 7m, 10m
B
2m, 3m, 4m
C
3m, 4m, 8m
D
4m, 6m, 9m
Question 2 Explanation: 
Addition any two side of a triangle is always greater then another side then only triangle formation is possible lets e.g a, b, c is a side of a triangle then a+b>c, b+c >a, c+a>b

So option b is not satisfying the condition 3 + 4 $\not\gt $ 8

Question 3 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The point of intersection of the altitudes of a triangle is called its:
A
Excentre
B
Orthocentre
C
Incentre
D
Centroid
Question 3 Explanation: 
Orthocentre.
Question 4 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a triangle ABC, ∠ A = 900, AL is drawn perpendicular to BC, Then ∠ BAL is equal to: triangles mcq question4
A
∠ALC
B
∠BAC
C
∠ACB
D
∠B - ∠BAL
Question 4 Explanation: 
∠ BAL + ∠ B + 900 = 1800

or, ∠ BAL + ∠ B = 900

or, ∠ BAL = 900 - ∠ B ----------- (1)

Now, in $\Delta$ ABC,

∠ ACB + ∠ B + ∠ A = 1800

∠ ACB = 900

-∠ B ----- (2)

From, (1) and (2),

∠ BAL = ∠ ACB.

Question 5 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In $\Delta$ PQR, PS is the bisector of ∠ P and PT $\perp$ OR, then ∠ TPS is equal to:
A
900 + 1/2 ∠Q
B
900 - 1/2 ∠R
C
1/2 (∠ Q - ∠ R)
D
∠Q + ∠ R
Question 5 Explanation: 
∠1 + ∠2 = ∠3 [PS is bisector.] ------ (1)

∠Q = 900 - ∠1

∠R = 900 -∠2 - ∠3

So,

∠Q - ∠R = (900 - ∠1) - (900 - ∠2 - ∠3)

∠Q - ∠R = ∠2 + ∠3 - ∠1

∠Q - ∠ R = ∠2 + (∠1 + ∠2) -∠1[using equation 1]

∠Q - ∠R = 2 ∠2

1/2 * (∠Q - ∠R) = ∠TPS.
