RD Sharma 9th Maths Chapter 11, Class 9 Maths Chapter 11 solutions

Question 1.
In a ∆ABC, if ∠A = 55°, ∠B = 40°, find ∠C.
Solution:
∵ Sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ In ∆ABC, ∠A = 55°, ∠B = 40°
But ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)


⇒ 55° + 40° + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 95° + ∠C = 180°
∴ ∠C= 180° -95° = 85°

Question 2.
If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 1:2:3, determine three angles.
Solution:
Ratio in three angles of a triangle =1:2:3
Let first angle = x
Then second angle = 2x
and third angle = 3x
∴ x + 2x + 3x = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒6x = 180°
⇒x = 180∘6  = 30°
∴ First angle = x = 30°
Second angle = 2x = 2 x 30° = 60°
and third angle = 3x = 3 x 30° = 90°
∴ Angles are 30°, 60°, 90°

Question 3.
The angles of a triangle are (x – 40)°, (x – 20)° and (12 x – 10)°. Find the value of x.
Solution:
∵ Sum of three angles of a triangle = 180°
∴ (x – 40)° + (x – 20)° + (12x-10)0 = 180°
⇒ x – 40° + x – 20° + 12x – 10° = 180°
⇒ x + x+ 12x – 70° = 180°
⇒ 52x = 180° + 70° = 250°
⇒ x = 250∘x25  = 100°
∴ x = 100°

Question 4.
Two angles of a triangle are equal and the third angle is greater than each of those angles by 30°. Determine all the angles of the triangle.
Solution:
Let each of the two equal angles = x
Then third angle = x + 30°
But sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ x + x + x + 30° = 180°
⇒ 3x + 30° = 180°
⇒3x = 150° ⇒x = 150∘3 = 50°
∴ Each equal angle = 50°
and third angle = 50° + 30° = 80°
∴ Angles are 50°, 50° and 80°

Question 5.
If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is a right triangle.
Solution:
In the triangle ABC,


∠B = ∠A + ∠C
But ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒∠B + ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒∠B + ∠B = 180°
⇒2∠B = 180°
∴ ∠B = 180∘2 = 90°
∵ One angle of the triangle is 90°
∴ ∆ABC is a right triangle.

Question 6.
Can a triangle have:
(i) Two right angles?
(ii) Two obtuse angles?
(iii) Two acute angles?
(iv) All angles more than 60°?
(v) All angles less than 60°?
(vi) All angles equal to 60°?
Justify your answer in each case.
Solution:
(i) In a triangle, two right-angles cannot be possible. We know that sum of three angles is 180° and if there are two right-angles, then the third angle will be zero which is not possible.
(ii) In a triangle, two obtuse angle cannot be possible. We know that the sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180° and if there are
two obtuse angle, then the third angle will be negative which is not possible.
(iii) In a triangle, two acute angles are possible as sum of three angles of a trianlge is 180°.
(iv) All angles more than 60°, they are also not possible as the sum will be more than 180°.
(v) All angles less than 60°. They are also not possible as the sum will be less than 180°.
(vi) All angles equal to 60°. This is possible as the sum will be 60° x 3 = 180°.

Question 7.
The angles of a triangle are arranged in ascending order of magnitude. If the difference between two consecutive angle is 10°, find the three angles.
Solution:
Let three angles of a triangle be x°, (x + 10)°, (x + 20)°
But sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ x + (x+ 10)° + (x + 20) = 180°
⇒ x + x+10°+ x + 20 = 180°
⇒ 3x + 30° = 180°
⇒ 3x = 180° – 30° = 150°
∴ x = 180∘2 = 50°
∴ Angle are 50°, 50 + 10, 50 + 20
i.e. 50°, 60°, 70°

Question 8.
ABC is a triangle is which ∠A = 72°, the internal bisectors of angles B and C meet in O. Find the magnitude of ∠BOC.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠A = 12° and bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O


Now ∠B + ∠C = 180° – 12° = 108°
∵ OB and OC are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C respectively
∴ ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 12 (B + C)
= 12 x 108° = 54°
But in ∆OBC,
∴ ∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 54° + ∠BOC = 180°
∠BOC = 180°-54°= 126°
OR
According to corollary,
∠BOC = 90°+ 12 ∠A
= 90+ 12 x 72° = 90° + 36° = 126°

Question 9.
The bisectors of base angles of a triangle cannot enclose a right angle in any case.
Solution:
In right ∆ABC, ∠A is the vertex angle and OB and OC are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C respectively
To prove : ∠BOC cannot be a right angle
Proof: ∵ OB and OC are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C respectively


∴ ∠BOC = 90° x 12 ∠A
Let ∠BOC = 90°, then
12 ∠A = O
⇒∠A = O
Which is not possible because the points A, B and C will be on the same line Hence, ∠BOC cannot be a right angle.

Question 10.
If the bisectors of the base angles of a triangle enclose an angle of 135°. Prove that the triangle is a right triangle.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, OB and OC are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C and ∠BOC = 135°


To prove : ∆ABC is a right angled triangle
Proof: ∵ Bisectors of base angles ∠B and ∠C of the ∆ABC meet at O
∴ ∠BOC = 90°+ 12∠A
But ∠BOC =135°
∴ 90°+ 12 ∠A = 135°
⇒ 12∠A= 135° -90° = 45°
∴ ∠A = 45° x 2 = 90°
∴ ∆ABC is a right angled triangle

Question 11.
In a ∆ABC, ∠ABC = ∠ACB and the bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACB intersect at O such that ∠BOC = 120°. Show that ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°.
Solution:
Given : In ∠ABC, BO and CO are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C respectively and ∠BOC = 120° and ∠ABC = ∠ACB


To prove : ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
Proof : ∵ BO and CO are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C
∴ ∠BOC = 90° + 12∠A
But ∠BOC = 120°
∴ 90°+ 12 ∠A = 120°
∴ 12 ∠A = 120° – 90° = 30°
∴ ∠A = 60°
∵ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Angles of a triangle)
∠B + ∠C = 180° – 60° = 120° and ∠B = ∠C
∵ ∠B = ∠C = 120∘2 = 60°
Hence ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°

Question 12.
If each angle of a triangle is less than the sum of the other two, show that the triangle is acute angled.
Solution:
In a ∆ABC,
Let ∠A < ∠B + ∠C


⇒∠A + ∠A < ∠A + ∠B + ∠C
⇒ 2∠A < 180°
⇒ ∠A < 90° (∵ Sum of angles of a triangle is 180°)
Similarly, we can prove that
∠B < 90° and ∠C < 90°
∴ Each angle of the triangle are acute angle.

Ex 11.2

Question 1.
The exterior angles obtained on producing the base of a triangle both ways are 104° and 136°. Find all the angles of the triangle.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, base BC is produced both ways to D and E respectivley forming ∠ABE = 104° and ∠ACD = 136°

Question 2.
In the figure, the sides BC, CA and AB of a ∆ABC have been produced to D, E and F respectively. If ∠ACD = 105° and ∠EAF = 45°, find all the angles of the ∆ABC.


Solution:
In ∆ABC, sides BC, CA and BA are produced to D, E and F respectively.
∠ACD = 105° and ∠EAF = 45°
∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 105° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180°- 105° = 75°
∠BAC = ∠EAF (Vertically opposite angles)
= 45°
But ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 45° + ∠ABC + 75° = 180°
⇒ 120° +∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠ABC = 180°- 120°
∴ ∠ABC = 60°
Hence ∠ABC = 60°, ∠BCA = 75°
and ∠BAC = 45°

Question 3.
Compute the value of x in each of the following figures:



Solution:
(i) In ∆ABC, sides BC and CA are produced to D and E respectively


(ii) In ∆ABC, side BC is produced to either side to D and E respectively
∠ABE = 120° and ∠ACD =110°
∵ ∠ABE + ∠ABC = 180° (Linear pair)


(iii) In the figure, BA || DC

Question 4.
In the figure, AC ⊥ CE and ∠A: ∠B : ∠C = 3:2:1, find the value of ∠ECD.


Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠A : ∠B : ∠C = 3 : 2 : 1
BC is produced to D and CE ⊥ AC
∵ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangles)
Let∠A = 3x, then ∠B = 2x and ∠C = x
∴ 3x + 2x + x = 180° ⇒ 6x = 180°
⇒ x = 180∘6  = 30°
∴ ∠A = 3x = 3 x 30° = 90°
∠B = 2x = 2 x 30° = 60°
∠C = x = 30°
In ∆ABC,
Ext. ∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B
⇒ 90° + ∠ECD = 90° + 60° = 150°
∴ ∠ECD = 150°-90° = 60°

Question 5.
In the figure, AB || DE, find ∠ACD.


Solution:
In the figure, AB || DE
AE and BD intersect each other at C ∠BAC = 30° and ∠CDE = 40°
∵ AB || DE
∴ ∠ABC = ∠CDE (Alternate angles)


⇒ ∠ABC = 40°
In ∆ABC, BC is produced
Ext. ∠ACD = Int. ∠A + ∠B
= 30° + 40° = 70°

Question 8.
In a ∆ABC, the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at P and the external bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at Q. Prove that ∠BPC + ∠BQC = 180°.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, sides AB and AC are produced to D and E respectively. Bisectors of interior ∠B and ∠C meet at P and bisectors of exterior angles B and C meet at Q.


To prove : ∠BPC + ∠BQC = 180°
Proof : ∵ PB and PC are the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C
∠BPC = 90°+ 12 ∠A …(i)
Similarly, QB and QC are the bisectors of exterior angles B and C
∴ ∠BQC = 90° + 12 ∠A …(ii)
Adding (i) and (ii),
∠BPC + ∠BQC = 90° + 12 ∠A + 90° – 12 ∠A
= 90° + 90° = 180°
Hence ∠BPC + ∠BQC = 180°

Solution:

Question 13.
In a AABC, AD bisects ∠A and ∠C > ∠B. Prove that ∠ADB > ∠ADC.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC,
∠C > ∠B and AD is the bisector of ∠A


To prove : ∠ADB > ∠ADC
Proof: In ∆ABC, AD is the bisector of ∠A
∴ ∠1 = ∠2
In ∆ADC,
Ext. ∠ADB = ∠l+ ∠C
⇒ ∠C = ∠ADB – ∠1 …(i)
Similarly, in ∆ABD,
Ext. ∠ADC = ∠2 + ∠B
⇒ ∠B = ∠ADC – ∠2 …(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
∵ ∠C > ∠B (Given)
∴ (∠ADB – ∠1) > (∠ADC – ∠2)
But ∠1 = ∠2
∴ ∠ADB > ∠ADC

Question 14.
In ∆ABC, BD ⊥ AC and CE ⊥ AB. If BD and CE intersect at O, prove that ∠BOC = 180°-∠A.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, BD ⊥ AC and CE⊥ AB BD and CE intersect each other at O


To prove : ∠BOC = 180° – ∠A
Proof: In quadrilateral ADOE
∠A + ∠D + ∠DOE + ∠E = 360° (Sum of angles of quadrilateral)
⇒ ∠A + 90° + ∠DOE + 90° = 360°
∠A + ∠DOE = 360° – 90° – 90° = 180°
But ∠BOC = ∠DOE (Vertically opposite angles)
⇒ ∠A + ∠BOC = 180°
∴ ∠BOC = 180° – ∠A

Question 15.
In the figure, AE bisects ∠CAD and ∠B = ∠C. Prove that AE || BC.


Solution:
Given : In AABC, BA is produced and AE is the bisector of ∠CAD
∠B = ∠C


To prove : AE || BC
Proof: In ∆ABC, BA is produced
∴ Ext. ∠CAD = ∠B + ∠C
⇒ 2∠EAC = ∠C + ∠C (∵ AE is the bisector of ∠CAE) (∵ ∠B = ∠C)
⇒ 2∠EAC = 2∠C
⇒ ∠EAC = ∠C
But there are alternate angles
∴ AE || BC

Solution:
A figure bounded by three lines segments in a plane is called a triangle.

Question 2.

Solution:
The sum of angles of an obtuse triangle is 180°.

Question 3.
In ∆ABC, if ∠B = 60°, ∠C = 80° and the bisectors of angles ∠ABC and ∠ACB meet at a point O, then find the measure of ∠BOC.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠B = 60°, ∠C = 80°
OB and OC are the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C
∵ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ ∠A + 60° + 80° = 180°
⇒ ∠A + 140° = 180°
∴ ∠A = 180°- 140° = 40°


= 90° + – x 40° = 90° + 20° = 110°

Question 4.
If the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:1:3. Then find the measure of smallest angle.
Solution:
Sum of angles of a triangle = 180°
Ratio in the angles = 2 : 1 : 3
Let first angle = 2x
Second angle = x
and third angle = 3x
∴ 2x + x + 3x = 180° ⇒ 6x = 180°
∴ x = 180∘6  = 30°
∴ First angle = 2x = 2 x 30° = 60°
Second angle = x = 30°
and third angle = 3x = 3 x 30° = 90°
Hence angles are 60°, 30°, 90°

Question 5.
State exterior angle theorem.
Solution:
Given : In ∆ABC, side BC is produced to D


To prove : ∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B
Proof: In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180° …(i) (Sum of angles of a triangle)
and ∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180° …(ii) (Linear pair)
From (i) and (ii)
∠ACD + ∠ACB = ∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB
∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B
Hence proved.

Question 6.
The sum of two angles of a triangle is equal to its third angle. Determine the measure of the third angle.
Solution:
In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠C = ∠B


But ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
∴ ∠B + ∠A + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠B + ∠B = 180°
⇒ 2∠B = 180°
⇒ ∠B = 180∘2  = 90°
∴ Third angle = 90°

Question 7.
In the figure, if AB || CD, EF || BC, ∠BAC = 65° and ∠DHF = 35°, find ∠AGH.


Solution:
Given : In figure, AB || CD, EF || BC ∠BAC = 65°, ∠DHF = 35°


∵ EF || BC
∴ ∠A = ∠ACH (Alternate angle)
∴ ∠ACH = 65°
∵∠GHC = ∠DHF
(Vertically opposite angles)
∴ ∠GHC = 35°
Now in ∆GCH,
Ext. ∠AGH = ∠GCH + ∠GHC
= 65° + 35° = 100°

Question 8.
In the figure, if AB || DE and BD || FG such that ∠FGH = 125° and ∠B = 55°, find x and y.


Solution:
In the figure, AB || DF, BD || FG


∠FGH = 125° and ∠B = 55°
∠FGH + FGE = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 125° + y – 180°
⇒ y= 180°- 125° = 55°
∵ BA || FD and BD || FG
∠B = ∠F = 55°
Now in ∆EFG,
∠F + ∠FEG + ∠FGE = 180°
(Angles of a triangle)
⇒ 55° + x + 55° = 180°
⇒ x+ 110°= 180°
∴ x= 180°- 110° = 70°
Hence x = 70, y = 55°

Question 9.
If the angles A, B and C of ∆ABC satisfy the relation B – A = C – B, then find the measure of ∠B.
Solution:
In ∆ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C= 180° …(i)
and B – A = C – B


⇒ B + B = A + C ⇒ 2B = A + C
From (i),
B + 2B = 180° ⇒ 3B = 180°
∠B = 180∘3 = 60°
Hence ∠B = 60°

Question 10.
In ∆ABC, if bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACB intersect at O at angle of 120°, then find the measure of ∠A.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, bisectors of ∠B and ∠C intersect at O and ∠BOC = 120°


But ∠BOC = 90°+ 12
90°+ 12 ∠A= 120°
⇒ 12 ∠A= 120°-90° = 30°
∴ ∠A = 2 x 30° = 60°

Question 11.
If the side BC of ∆ABC is produced on both sides, then write the difference between the sum of the exterior angles so formed and ∠A.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, side BC is produced on both sides forming exterior ∠ABE and ∠ACD
Ext. ∠ABE = ∠A + ∠ACB
and Ext. ∠ACD = ∠ABC + ∠A


Adding we get,
∠ABE + ∠ACD = ∠A + ∠ACB + ∠A + ∠ABC
⇒ ∠ABE + ∠ACD – ∠A = ∠A 4- ∠ACB + ∠A + ∠ABC – ∠A (Subtracting ∠A from both sides)
= ∠A + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)

Question 12.
In a triangle ABC, if AB = AC and AB is produced to D such that BD = BC, find ∠ACD: ∠ADC.
Solution:
In ∆ABC, AB = AC
AB is produced to D such that BD = BC
DC are joined
In ∆ABC, AB = AC
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB
In ∆ BCD, BD = BC
∴ ∠BDC = ∠BCD
and Ext. ∠ABC = ∠BDC + ∠BCD = 2∠BDC (∵ ∠BDC = ∠BCD)
⇒ ∠ACB = 2∠BCD (∵ ∠ABC = ∠ACB)
Adding ∠BDC to both sides
⇒ ∠ACB + ∠BDC = 2∠BDC + ∠BDC
⇒ ∠ACB + ∠BCD = 3 ∠BDC (∵ ∠BDC = ∠BCD)
⇒ ∠ACB = 3∠BDC

Question 13.
In the figure, side BC of AABC is produced to point D such that bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACD meet at a point E. If ∠BAC = 68°, find ∠BEC.


Solution:
In the figure,


side BC of ∆ABC is produced to D such that bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACD meet at E
∠BAC = 68°
In ∆ABC,
Ext. ∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B
⇒ 12 ∠ACD = 12 ∠A + 12 ∠B
⇒ ∠2= 12 ∠A + ∠1 …(i)
But in ∆BCE,
Ext. ∠2 = ∠E + ∠l
⇒ ∠E + ∠l = ∠2 = 12 ∠A + ∠l [From (i)]
⇒ ∠E = 12 ∠A = 68∘2  =34°

∴ Each angle will be = 90∘2  = 45° (b)

Question 3.
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to 100° and two interior opposite angles are equal. Each of these angles is equal to
(a) 75°
(b) 80°
(c) 40°
(d) 50°
Solution:
In a triangle, exterior angles is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles
∴ Sum of interior opposite angles = 100°
∵ Both angles are equal
∴ Each angle will be = 100∘2  = 50° (d)

Question 4.
If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles, then the triangle is
(a) an isosceles triangle
(b) an obtuse triangle
(c) an equilateral triangle
(d) a right triangle
Solution:
Let ∠A, ∠B, ∠C be the angles of a ∆ABC and let ∠A = ∠B + ∠C


But ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
( Sum of angles of a triangle)
∴ ∠A + ∠A = 180° ⇒ 2∠A = 180°
⇒ ∠A = 180∘2  = 90°
∴ ∆ is a right triangle (d)

Question 5.
Side BC of a triangle ABC has been produced to a point D such that ∠ACD = 120°. If ∠B = 12∠A, then ∠A is equal to
(a) 80°
(b) 75°
(c) 60°
(d) 90°
Solution:
Side BC of ∆ABC is produced to D, then


Ext. ∠ACB = ∠A + ∠B
(Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles)

Question 6.
In ∆ABC, ∠B = ∠C and ray AX bisects the exterior angle ∠DAC. If ∠DAX = 70°, then ∠ACB =
(a) 35°
(b) 90°
(c) 70°
(d) 55°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠B = ∠C
AX is the bisector of ext. ∠CAD
∠DAX = 70°


∴ ∠DAC = 70° x 2 = 140°
But Ext. ∠DAC = ∠B + ∠C
= ∠C + ∠C (∵ ∠B = ∠C)
= 2∠C
∴ 2∠C = 140° ⇒ ∠C = 140∘2 = 70°
∴ ∠ACB = 70° (c)

Question 7.
In a triangle, an exterior angle at a vertex is 95° and its one of the interior opposite angle is 55°, then the measure of the other interior angle is
(a) 55°
(b) 85°
(c) 40°
(d) 9.0°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, BA is produced to D such that ∠CAD = 95°
and let ∠C = 55° and ∠B = x°


∵ Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite interior angle
∴ ∠CAD = ∠B + ∠C ⇒ 95° = x + 55°
⇒ x = 95° – 55° = 40°
∴ Other interior angle = 40° (c)

Question 8.
If the sides of a triangle are produced in order, then the sum of the three exterior angles so formed is
(a) 90°
(b) 180°
(c) 270°
(d) 360°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, sides AB, BC and CA are produced in order, then exterior ∠FAB, ∠DBC and ∠ACE are formed


We know an exterior angles of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles
∴ ∠FAB = ∠B + ∠C
∠DBC = ∠C + ∠A and
∠ACE = ∠A + ∠B Adding we get,
∠FAB + ∠DBC + ∠ACE = ∠B + ∠C + ∠C + ∠A + ∠A + ∠B
= 2(∠A + ∠B + ∠C)
= 2 x 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
= 360° (d)

Question 9.
In ∆ABC, if ∠A = 100°, AD bisects ∠A and AD⊥ BC. Then, ∠B =
(a) 50°
(b) 90°
(c) 40°
(d) 100°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠A = 100°
AD is bisector of ∠A and AD ⊥ BC


Now, ∠BAD = 100∘2 = 50°
In ∆ABD,
∠BAD + ∠B + ∠D= 180°
(Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ ∠50° + ∠B + 90° = 180°
∠B + 140° = 180°
⇒ ∠B = 180° – 140° ∠B = 40° (c)

Question 10.
An exterior angle of a triangle is 108° and its interior opposite angles are in the ratio 4:5. The angles of the triangle are
(a) 48°, 60°, 72°
(b) 50°, 60°, 70°
(c) 52°, 56°, 72°
(d) 42°, 60°, 76°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, BC is produced to D and ∠ACD = 108°


Ratio in ∠A : ∠B = 4:5
∵ Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its opposite interior angles
∴ ∠ACD = ∠A + ∠B = 108°
Ratio in ∠A : ∠B = 4:5

Question 11.
In a ∆ABC, if ∠A = 60°, ∠B = 80° and the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O, then ∠BOC =
(a) 60°
(b) 120°
(c) 150°
(d) 30°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠A = 60°, ∠B = 80°
∴ ∠C = 180° – (∠A + ∠B)
= 180° – (60° + 80°)
= 180° – 140° = 40°
Bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O

Question 12.
Line segments AB and CD intersect at O such that AC || DB. If ∠CAB = 45° and ∠CDB = 55°, then ∠BOD =
(a) 100°
(b) 80°
(c) 90°
(d) 135°
Solution:
In the figure,


AB and CD intersect at O
and AC || DB, ∠CAB = 45°
and ∠CDB = 55°
∵ AC || DB
∴ ∠CAB = ∠ABD (Alternate angles)
In ∆OBD,
∠BOD = 180° – (∠CDB + ∠ABD)
= 180° – (55° + 45°)
= 180° – 100° = 80° (b)

Question 13.
In the figure, if EC || AB, ∠ECD = 70° and ∠BDO = 20°, then ∠OBD is


(a) 20°
(b) 50°
(c) 60°
(d) 70°
Solution:
In the figure, EC || AB
∠ECD = 70°, ∠BDO = 20°


∵ EC || AB
∠AOD = ∠ECD (Corresponding angles)
⇒ ∠AOD = 70°
In ∆OBD,
Ext. ∠AOD = ∠OBD + ∠BDO
70° = ∠OBD + 20°
⇒ ∠OBD = 70° – 20° = 50° (b)

Question 14.
In the figure, x + y =
(a) 270
(b) 230
(c) 210
(d) 190°


Solution:
In the figure


Ext. ∠OAE = ∠AOC + ∠ACO
⇒ x = 40° + 80° = 120°
Similarly,
Ext. ∠DBF = ∠ODB + ∠DOB
y = 70° + ∠DOB
[(∵ ∠AOC = ∠DOB) (vertically opp. angles)]
= 70° + 40° = 110°
∴ x+y= 120°+ 110° = 230° (b)

Question 15.
If the measures of angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 5, what is the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle?
(a) 25°
(b) 30°
(c) 45°
(d) 60°
Solution:
Ratio in the measures of the triangle =3:4:5
Sum of angles of a triangle = 180°
Let angles be 3x, 4x, 5x
Sum of angles = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x
∴ Smallest angle = 180x3x12x = 45° (c)

Question 16.
In the figure, if AB ⊥ BC, then x =
(a) 18
(b) 22
(c) 25
(d) 32


Solution:
In the figure, AB ⊥ BC
∠AGF = 32°
∴ ∠CGB = ∠AGF (Vertically opposite angles)
= 32°


In ∆GCB, ∠B = 90°
∴ ∠CGB + ∠GCB = 90°
⇒ 32° + ∠GCB = 90°
⇒ ∠GCB = 90° – 32° = 58°
Now in ∆GDC,
Ext. ∠GCB = ∠CDG + ∠DGC
⇒ 58° = x + 14° + x
⇒ 2x + 14° = 58°
⇒ 2x = 58 – 14° = 44
⇒ x = 442 = 22°
∴ x = 22° (b)

Question 17.
In the figure, what is ∠ in terms of x and y?
(a) x + y + 180
(b) x + y – 180
(c) 180° -(x+y)
(d) x+y + 360°


Solution:
In the figure, BC is produced both sides CA and BA are also produced
In ∆ABC,
∠B = 180° -y
and ∠C 180° – x


∴ z = ∠A = 180° – (B + C)
= 180° – (180 – y + 180 -x)
= 180° – (360° – x – y)
= 180° – 360° + x + y = x + y – 180° (b)

Question 18.
In the figure, for which value of x is l1 || l2?
(a) 37
(b) 43
(c) 45
(d) 47


Solution:
In the figure, l1 || l2
∴ ∠EBA = ∠BAH (Alternate angles)
∴ ∠BAH = 78°


⇒ ∠BAC + ∠CAH = 78°
⇒ ∠BAC + 35° = 78°
⇒ ∠BAC = 78° – 35° = 43°
In ∆ABC, ∠C = 90°
∴ ∠ABC + ∠BAC = 90°
⇒ x + 43° = 90° ⇒ x = 90° – 43°
∴ x = 47° (d)

Question 19.
In the figure, what is y in terms of x?


Solution:
In ∆ABC,
∠ACB = 180° – (x + 2x)
= 180° – 3x …(i)
and in ∆BDG,
∠BED = 180° – (2x + y) …(ii)
∠EGC = ∠AGD (Vertically opposite angles)
= 3y


In quad. BCGE,
∠B + ∠ACB + ∠CGE + ∠BED = 360° (Sum of angles of a quadrilateral)
⇒ 2x+ 180° – 3x + 3y + 180°- 2x-y = 360°
⇒ -3x + 2y = 0
⇒ 3x = 2y ⇒ y = 32x (a)

Question 20.
In the figure, what is the value of x?
(a) 35
(b) 45
(c) 50
(d) 60


Solution:
In the figure, side AB is produced to D
∴ ∠CBA + ∠CBD = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 7y + 5y = 180°
⇒ 12y = 180°
⇒ y = 18012 = 15
and Ext. ∠CBD = ∠A + ∠C
⇒ 7y = 3y + x
⇒ 7y -3y = x
⇒ 4y = x
∴ x = 4 x 15 = 60 (d)

Question 21.
In the figure, the value of x is
(a) 65°
(b) 80°
(c) 95°
(d) 120°


Solution:
In the figure, ∠A = 55°, ∠D = 25° and ∠C = 40°


Now in ∆ABD,
Ext. ∠DBC = ∠A + ∠D
= 55° + 25° = 80°
Similarly, in ∆BCE,
Ext. ∠DEC = ∠EBC + ∠ECB
= 80° + 40° = 120° (d)

Question 22.
In the figure, if BP || CQ and AC = BC, then the measure of x is
(a) 20°
(b) 25°
(c) 30°
(d) 35°


Solution:
In the figure, AC = BC, BP || CQ


∵ BP || CQ
∴ ∠PBC – ∠QCD
⇒ 20° + ∠ABC = 70°
⇒ ∠ABC = 70° – 20° = 50°
∵ BC = AC
∴ ∠ACB = ∠ABC (Angles opposite to equal sides)
= 50°
Now in ∆ABC,
Ext. ∠ACD = ∠B + ∠A
⇒ x + 70° = 50° + 50°
⇒ x + 70° = 100°
∴ x = 100° – 70° = 30° (c)

Question 23.
In the figure, AB and CD are parallel lines and transversal EF intersects them at P and Q respectively. If ∠APR = 25°, ∠RQC = 30° and ∠CQF = 65°, then
(a) x = 55°, y = 40°
(b) x = 50°, y = 45°
(c) x = 60°, y = 35°
(d) x = 35°, y = 60°


Solution:
In the figure,
∵ AB || CD, EF intersects them at P and Q respectively,
∠APR = 25°, ∠RQC = 30°, ∠CQF = 65°
∵ AB || CD
∴ ∠APQ = ∠CQF (Corresponding anlges)
⇒ y + 25° = 65°
⇒ y = 65° – 25° = 40°
and APQ + PQC = 180° (Co-interior angles)


y + 25° + ∠1 +30°= 180°
40° + 25° + ∠1 + 30° = 180°
⇒ ∠1 + 95° = 180°
∴ ∠1 = 180° – 95° = 85°
Now, ∆PQR,
∠RPQ + ∠PQR + ∠PRQ = 180° (Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 40° + x + 85° = 180°
⇒ 125° + x = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 125° = 55°
∴ x = 55°, y = 40° (a)

Question 24.
The base BC of triangle ABC is produced both ways and the measure of exterior angles formed are 94° and 126°. Then, ∠BAC = ?
(a) 94°
(b) 54°
(c) 40°
(d) 44°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, base BC is produced both ways and ∠ACD = 94°, ∠ABE = 126°


Ext. ∠ACD = ∠BAC + ∠ABC
⇒ 94° = ∠BAC + ∠ABC
Similarly, ∠ABE = ∠BAC + ∠ACB
⇒ 126° = ∠BAC + ∠ACB
Adding,
94° + 126° = ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠BAC
220° = 180° + ∠BAC
∴ ∠BAC = 220° -180° = 40° (c)

Question 25.

(a) 45°
(b) 95°
(c) 135°
(d) 90°
Solution:
In right ∆ABC, ∠A = 90°


Bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O, then 1
∠BOC = 90° + 12 ∠A
= 90°+ 12 x 90° = 90° + 45°= 135° (c)

Question 26.
The bisects of exterior angles at B and C of ∆ABC, meet at O. If ∠A = .x°, then ∠BOC=

Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠A = x°
and bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O.

Question 27.

(a) 25°
(b) 50°
(c) 100°
(d) 75°
Solution:
In ∆ABC, ∠A = 50°
BC is produced


Bisectors of ∠ABC and ∠ACD meet at ∠E

Solution:
In ∆ABC, BC is produced to D
∠B = 30°, ∠ACD = 115°

Question 29.
In the figure , if l1 || l2, the value of x is
(a) 22 12
(b) 30
(c) 45
(d) 60


Solution:
In the figure, l1 || l2
EC, EB are the bisectors of ∠DCB and ∠CBA respectively EF is the bisector of ∠GEB


∵ EC and EB are the bisectors of ∠DCB and ∠CBA respectively
∴ ∠CEB = 90°
∴ a + b = 90° ,
and ∠GEB = 90° (∵ ∠CEB = 90°)
2x = 90° ⇒ x = 902 = 45 (c)

About RD Sharma

RD Sharma isn’t the kind of author you’d bump into at lit fests. But his bestselling books have helped many CBSE students lose their dread of maths. Sunday Times profiles the tutor turned internet star
He dreams of algorithms that would give most people nightmares. And, spends every waking hour thinking of ways to explain concepts like ‘series solution of linear differential equations’. Meet Dr Ravi Dutt Sharma — mathematics teacher and author of 25 reference books — whose name evokes as much awe as the subject he teaches. And though students have used his thick tomes for the last 31 years to ace the dreaded maths exam, it’s only recently that a spoof video turned the tutor into a YouTube star.

R D Sharma had a good laugh but said he shared little with his on-screen persona except for the love for maths. “I like to spend all my time thinking and writing about maths problems. I find it relaxing,” he says. When he is not writing books explaining mathematical concepts for classes 6 to 12 and engineering students, Sharma is busy dispensing his duty as vice-principal and head of department of science and humanities at Delhi government’s Guru Nanak Dev Institute of Technology.
