Sol. (a)
a bc
Circumradius, R =
4A
s = a + b + c /2
Here, a = 6 cm, b = 8 cm, c = 10cm
So, s = (6 + 8 + 10)/2= 12cm
A = 12 (12 − 6 )(12 − 8)(12 − 10 )
= 12  6  4  2
A = 24cm 2

R = 5cm
Q2. Find the inradius of the triangle whose sides are 3, 5, 6.
(a) 2.5 cm (b) 214 (c) 2 cm (d) None of these
Sol. (d)
Semi perimeter is
s = (3 + 5 + 6)/2 = 14/2 = 7
Area = ( )
7  4  2 1 = 2 14
Inradius = (Area/s) = 2 14 / 7
Q3. If the length of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 4 : 5 : 6 and the inradius of the
triangle is 3 cm, what is the altitude of the triangle corresponding to the largest base ?
(a) 5.5 cm (b) 7.5 cm (c) 8 cm (d) 9 cm
Sol. (b)
Take the side lengths as 4x cm, 5x cm & 6x cm respectively, where, x is proportionality constant.
Clearly, BC is the largest side (base) and AD is the corresponding altitude
Suppose, AD = h cm
Now, we will use the following formula
 = rs; where  is area of the triangle, r is inradius (=3cm, given) &s is semiperimeter.
Now, substituting the values of , r & s in the above formula, we get
1
 ( 6x )  h = 3 
( 4x + 5x + 6x )

1 15x
  ( 6x )  h = 3 
2 2
 2h = 15

Q4. Consider a right angled triangle with inradius 2 cm and circumradius of 7 cm. What is the
area of the triangle ?
(a) 32 sq cms (b) 31.5 sq cms
(c) 32.5 sq cms (d) 33 sq cms
Sol. (a)
Let the perpendicular side lengths be a and b.
r=2
R = 7 (Half of hypotenuse)
Hypotenuse = 14
r = (a + b – h)/2
2 = (a + b – h)/2
a + b – 14 = 4
a + b = 18
Now, a2 + b2= 142
a2 + (18 – a)2 = 142
a2 + 324 + a2 – 36a = 196
2a2 – 36a + 128 = 0
a2 – 18a + 64 = 0
Product of the roots = 64.
Area = 1/2* product of roots = 32 sq. cms
5. In the given triangle ABC, B = 35°, C = 65°and the bisector of BAC meets BC in P. Arrange
AP, BP and CP in descending order of lengths
(a) BP > AP > CP (b) AP > BP < CP

(c) BP > CP > AP (d) CP > AP > BP
Sol. Using angle sum property of triangles, find all the angles.
In ABP
BP > AP
In APC (1)
AP > PC (2)
From eqs. (1) and (2)
BP > AP > CP
6. In the given figure AC is a median as well as an altitude to BD, In triangle ACE, AD is a median to
CE. Which of the following is always true ?
(a) AB + BC = AE (b) AB +DE < AE
(c) AB + CD > AE (d) AB + DE = AD
Sol: (3)
In triangle, if median and altitude coincides, then remaining two side are equal. As AC is a median
as well as an altitude to BD, AB = AD …(i)
In ADE, AD + DE > AE
As AD is median, CD = DE
AB + CD > AE
7. In the given figure if A = 70° and B = 55°, then which of the following options is correct ?
(a) AB > BC < CA (b) BC > AB = AC

(c) AB = AC > BC (d) AC > BC = AB

6 6
1 1
(c) ar ( ABC ) (d) ar ( BEC )
8 8
Sol: (c)
Join EC

Ar (DBEC) = ar ( ABC )
2

Now, ar (DEFC) = ar ( BEC )

1
ar ( EGF) = ar ( EFC )

9. In the given figure, C is the smallest angle of quadrilateral ABCD, AC is always greater than
(a) AB + AD (b) 1/2 (AB + AD) (c) 3/2 (AB + AD) (d) 2 (AB +AD)
Sol: (b)
In quadrilateral ABCD
B > C
 B > ACB
 AC > AB ….(i) [Side opposite to the greater angle is larger]
and D > C
 D > ACD
 AC > AD …(ii) [Side opposite to the greater angle is larger]
Now adding (i) and (ii) we get
AC + AC > AB + AD
2AC > AB + AD
 AC > 1/2 (AB + AD)
Q10. In ABC, AC = BC and AD ⊥ BC. The value of AD2 – BD2 is
(a) 2BD  CD (b) 2AC  CD (c) 2 ( BD + CD ) (d) 2 ( AC + CD )
Sol. (a)
Using Pythagoras theorem,

AC2 = AD2 + DC2
BC2 = AD2 + DC2
(BD + DC)2 = AD2 + DC2
AD2 – BD2 = 2BD × DC
