B) Solve the following questions. (Any one) (2)

1) In adjoining figure AE seg BC, seg DF ⊥ ⊥ line BC, AE = 4, DF = 6, than find
A(△ABC

A(△DBC)
.

2) In △MNP, NQ is a bisector of N. If MN = 5, PN = 7 MQ = 2.5 then find QP.

2) In fig. PM = 10 cm, A ( PQS) = 100 sq cm A ( QRS) = 110 sq cm then NR = ?

Δ Δ

ΔPQS and QRS having seg QS common base. Areas of two triangles whose base are
Δ

common, are in proportion of their corresponding heights.

∴
A(Δ PQS)

A(Δ QRS)
= .....

NR

∴ =
100

110
.....

NR

∴ NR = 1100

100

∴ NR = ..... cm
3)

In PQR seg PM is a median. Angle bisectors of PMQ and PMR intersect side PQ and
△ ∠ ∠

side PR in points X and Y respectively. Prove that XY || QR. Complete the proof by filling in
the boxes.

In PMQ, ray MX is bisector of PMQ.

△ ∠

∴ _____= _____ ... (I) Theorem of angle bisector.

In PMR, ray MY is bisector of PMR.
△ ∠

∴ _____= _____ ... (II) Theorem of angle bisector.

But MP

MQ
=
MP

MR
... M is the midpoint QR, hence MQ = MR
PX PY
∴ =
XQ YR

∴ XY || QR ... converse of basic proportionality theorem.
