Question 11

In ∆ABC and ∆PQR, AB = AC, ∠C = ∠P and ∠B = ∠Q. The two triangles are

(a) isosceles but not congruent

(b) isosceles and congruent

(c) congruent but isosceles

(d) neither congruent nor isosceles

Sol :
In ∆ABC and ∆PQR
⇒AB=AC, ∠C=∠P
⇒∠B=∠Q






∵In ∆ABC, AB=AC

⇒∠C=∠B  (Opposite to equal sides)

But ∠C=∠P and ∠B=∠Q

∴∠P=∠Q

∴RQ=PR

∴ΔRPQ is an isosceles triangle but not congruent.

Question 12

Two sides of a triangle are of length 5 cm and 1.5 cm. The length of the third side of the triangle can not be

(a) 3.6 cm

(b) 4.1 cm

(c) 3.8 cm

(d) 3.4 cm

Sol :
In a triangle, two sides are 5 and 1.5 cm

∵Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side

∴Third side<(5+1.5)

⇒Third side<(6.5 cm)

or third side +1.5>5 cm

or third side >5-1.5=3.5 cm

∴Third side can not be equal to 3.4 cm


Question 13

If a, b, c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle, then

(a) a – b > c

(b) c > a + b

(c) c = a + b

(c) 5.3 cm, 2.2 cm, 3.1 cm

(d) 9.3 cm, 5.2 cm, 7.4 cm

Sol :

We know that sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side 2.2 + 3.1 = 5.3 ⇒ 5.3 = 5.3 is not possible (c)


Question 15

(a) QR > PR

(b) PQ > PR

(c) PQ < PR

(d) QR < PR

(a) PR = PQ

(b) PR < PQ

(c) PR < QR

(d) PR > PQ

Side opposite to greater angle is greater

∴PR>PQ










Question 17

(a) AB > BC

(b) AB = BC

(c) AB < BC

(d) AC > AB

Sol :
In ΔABC, ∠C is obtuse angle

(b) 3.6 cm, 11.5 cm, 6.9 cm

(c) 5.2 cm, 7.6 cm, 4.7 cm

(d) 33 mm, 8.5 cm, 49 mm

We know that in a triangle, if sum of any two sides is greater than its third side, it is possible to construct it 5.2 cm, 7.6 cm, 4.7 cm is only possible.

Ans (c)


Question P.Q.

A unique triangle cannot be constructed if its

(a) three angles are given

(b) two angles and one side is given

(c) three sides are given

(d) two sides and the included angle is given

Sol :

A unique triangle cannot be constructed if its three angle are given, (a)


Question 18

If the lengths of two sides of an isosceles are 4 cm and 10 cm, then the length of the third side is

(a) 4 cm

(b) 10 cm

(c) 7 cm

(d) 14 cm

Sol :

Lengths of two sides of an isosceles triangle are 4 cm and 10 cm, then length of the third side is 10 cm

(Sum of any two sides of a triangle is greater than its third side and 4 cm is not possible as 4 + 4 > 10 cm.
