Question 1:
In Fig. 6.1, if AB || CD || EF, PQ || RS, ∠RQD = 25°

and ∠CQP = 60°, then ∠QRS is equal to
(A) 85° (B) 135°
(C) 145° (D) 110°
Answer 1:
(C) 145°
Solution:
Given that:
𝑃𝑄∥𝑅𝑆
∴ ∠PQC = ∠BRS = 60°
[alternate exterior angles and ∠PQC=60°]
1
and ∠DQR = ∠QRA = 25°
[alternate interior angles and ∠DQR = 25°]
∴ ∠QRS = ∠QRA + ∠ARS
= ∠QRA + (180° – ∠BRS) [linear pair]
= 25° +180° – 60°
= 205° – 60°
= 145°
Hence, the option (C) is correct.
Question 2:
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
Answer 2:
2
(D) a right triangle
Solution:
Let the angles of Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 𝑏𝑒 ∠ , ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐶.
Given that
∠𝐴= ∠𝐵+ ∠𝐶 …. (i)
But, in any Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ∠𝐴+ ∠𝐵+∠𝐶= 180° …. (ii)
[Angles sum property of triangle]
From equations (i) and (ii), we get
∠𝐴+ ∠𝐴= 180°
⇒ 2∠𝐴= 180°
⇒ ∠𝐴= 180/2
∴ 𝐴= 90°
Hence, the triangle is a right triangle and option (D) is

correct.
Question 3:

An exterior angle of a triangle is 105° and its two

interior opposite angles are equal. Each of these equal
angles is
10 10
(A) 37 (B) 52
2 2
10
(C) 72 (D) 75°
2
Answer 3:
10
(B) 52
2
Solution:
Let one of interior angle be x°
∵ Sum of two opposite interior angles = Exterior angle
∴ 𝑥0+𝑥0=1050
[Exterior angles = 105°]
⇒ 2𝑥0= 105°
1050
∴ 𝑥0=
2
10
⇒ 𝑥0= 52
2
4
10
Hence, each of equal angle of triangle is 52 and option
2
(B) is correct.
Question 4:
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 5: 3: 7. The

triangle is
(A) an acute angled triangle
(B) an obtuse angled triangle
(C) a right triangle
(D) an isosceles triangle
Answer 4:
(A) an acute angled triangle
Solution:
Given that:
The ratio of angles of a triangle is 5:3:7.
Let angles of a triangle be ∠𝐴, ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐶.
Let ∠𝐴= 5𝑥,then ∠𝐵=3𝑥 and ∠𝐶=7x
5
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶, ∠𝐴+ ∠𝐵+∠𝐶= 180°
[Sum of angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ 5x + 3x+7x = 180°
⇒ 15𝑥=180°
1800
⇒ 𝑥= =12°
15
∴ ∠𝐴= 5x = 5 × 12° = 60°
∠𝐵= 3x = 3 × 12° = 36°
and ∠𝐶= 7x = 7 × 12° = 84°
Since, all angles are less than 90°, the triangle is an

acute angled triangle.
Hence, the option (A) is correct.
Question 5:
If one of the angles of a triangle is 130°, then the

angle between the bisectors of the other two angles
can be
(A) 50° (B) 65°
(C) 145° (D) 155°
6
Answer 5:
(D) 155°
Solution:
Let the angles of Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 triangle 𝑏𝑒 ∠ , ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐶.
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 ∠𝐴+ ∠𝐵+∠𝐶= 180°

0
1
⇒ ∠𝐴+ 1 ∠𝐵+ 1 ∠𝐶= 180 =90°
2 2 2 2
[Dividing both sides by 2]
1
⇒ ∠𝐵+ 1 ∠𝐶=90°− 1 ∠𝐴
2 2 2
In Δ𝑂𝐵𝐶, ∠𝑂𝐵𝐶+∠𝐵𝐶𝑂+∠𝐶𝑂𝐵= 180°
[as BO and OC are the angle bisectors of ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 𝑎𝑛𝑑

∠𝐵𝐶𝐴 respectively]
7
⇒ ∠𝐵2+∠𝐶2=180°−∠𝐵𝑂𝐶
1
⇒ 180° −∠𝐵𝑂𝐶=90°− ∠𝐴
2
1
∴ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶=180°−90°+ ∠𝐴=90°+ 1 ∠𝐴
2 2
1
=90°+ × 130°=90°+65° [∠𝐴 =130°]
2
=155°
Hence, the required angle is 155° and option (D) is

correct.
Question 6:
In Fig. 6.2, POQ is a line. The value of x is
(A) 20° (B) 25°
(C) 30° (D) 35°
Answer 6:
(A) 20°
8
Solution:
Since, POQ is a line segment.
∴ ∠𝑃𝑂𝑄=180°
⇒ ∠𝑃𝑂𝐴+∠𝐴𝑂𝐵+ ∠𝐵𝑂𝑄=180°
⇒ 40°+4𝑥+3𝑥=180°
[Putting ∠𝑃𝑂𝐴= 40°, ∠𝐴𝑂𝐵 = 4x and ∠𝐵𝑂𝑄 = 3x]
⇒ 7x = 180°− 40°
⇒ 7x = 140°
1400
⇒x=
7
∴ x = 20°
Hence, option (A) is correct.
Question 7:
In Fig. 6.3, if OP||RS, ∠OPQ = 110° and ∠QRS = 130°,

then ∠PQR is equal to
(A) 40° (B) 50°
(C) 60° (D) 70°
9
Answer 7:
(C) 60°
Solution:
In the given figure, producing OP, which intersect RQ

at X.
Since, 𝑂𝑃∥𝑅𝑆 and RX is a transversal.
So, ∠𝑅𝑋𝑃= ∠𝑋𝑅𝑆 [alternate angles]
⇒ ∠𝑅𝑋𝑃= 130° … (i) [∵∠QRS=130°]
Now, RQ is a line segment.
So, ∠𝑃𝑋𝑄+∠𝑅𝑋𝑃=180° [linear pair axiom]
⇒ ∠𝑃𝑋𝑄= 180° − ∠𝑅𝑋𝑃=180°−130°
[From equation (i)]
10
⇒ ∠𝑃𝑋𝑄= 50°
In Δ𝑃𝑄𝑋,∠𝑂𝑃𝑄 is an exterior angle
∴ ∠𝑂𝑃𝑄= ∠𝑃𝑋𝑄+∠𝑃𝑄𝑋
[∵exterior angle=sum of two opposite interior angles
⇒ 110°= 50° + ∠𝑃𝑄𝑋
⇒ ∠𝑃𝑄𝑋= 110°− 50°
∴ ∠𝑃𝑄𝑋= 60° [∵∠PQX = ∠𝑃𝑄𝑅]
Hence, the option (C) is correct.
Question 8:
Angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2 : 4 : 3. The

smallest angle of the triangle is
(A) 60° (B) 40°
(C) 80° (D) 20°
Answer 8:
(A) 60°
Solution:
11
Given that:
The ratio of angles of a triangle is 2:4:3.
Let the angles of the triangle be ∠𝐴, ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐶.
∴ ∠𝐴= 2𝑥,∠𝐵=4𝑥 and ∠𝐶=3x
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶, ∠𝐴+ ∠𝐵+∠𝐶= 180°
⇒ 2x + 4x + 3x = 180°
⇒ 9𝑥 = 180°
1800
⇒𝑥= = 20°
9
∴ ∠𝐴 = 2x = 2 × 20° = 40°
∠𝐵 = 4x = 4 × 20° = 80°
and ∠𝐶 = 3x =3 × 20° = 60°
Hence, the smallest angle of a triangle is 40° and

option (A) is correct.
EXERCISE- 6.2

Question 1:
For what value of x + y in Fig. 6.4 will ABC be a line?

Justify your answer.
Answer 1:
For ABC to be a line, the sum of the two adjacent

angles must be 180° or angle ABD and angle DBC must
form a linear pair. i.e., x + y = 180°
Question 2:
Can a triangle have all angles less than 60°? Give

reason for your answer.
Answer 2:
No, a triangle cannot have all angles less than 60°,

because if all angles will be less than 60°, then their
sum will be less than 180° (not be equal to 180°).
Hence, it will not be a triangle.
13
Question 3:
Can a triangle have two obtuse angles? Give reason for

your answer.
Answer 3:
No, because if the triangle have two obtuse angles i.e.,

more than 90°angle, then the sum of all three angles
of a triangle will be greater than 180° (not be equal
to180°).
Hence, it will not be a triangle.
Question 4:
How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as

45°, 64° and 72°? Give reason for your answer.
Answer 4:
None
The sum of given angles = 45°+ 64° +72° = 181° ≠

180°.
14
Hence, we see that sum of all three angles is not equal

to 180°. So, no triangle can be drawn with these given
angles.
Question 5:
How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as

53°, 64° and 63°? Give reason for your answer.
Answer 5:
Infinitely triangles
The sum of given angles = 53° + 64° + 63° = 180°
Since, the sum of all interior angles of triangle is 180°.

So, infinitely many triangles can be drawn.
Question 6:
In Fig. 6.5, find the value of x for which the lines l and
m are parallel.
Answer 6:
15
In the given figure,∥𝑚
Using the properties of parallel line (if a transversal

intersects two parallel lines, then sum of interior angles
on the same side of a transversal is supplementary),
we have
x + 44°=180°
⇒ x = 180°−44°
⇒ x = 136°
Question 7:
Two adjacent angles are equal. Is it necessary that

each of these angles will be a right angle? Justify your
answer.
Answer 7: No, because each of these will be a right

angle 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑎 𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑝𝑎𝑖𝑟.
Question 8:
If one of the angles formed by two intersecting lines is

a right angle, what can you say about the other three
angles? Give reason for your answer.
16
Answer 8:
Let two intersecting lines l and m makes a one right

angle, then it means that lines l and m are
perpendicular each other.
By using linear pair axiom, other three angles will be a

right angle.
Question 9:
In Fig.6.6, which of the two lines are parallel and why?
Answer 9:
In case (i)
Sum of two interior angles 132°+48°=180°
17
Here, the sum of two interior angles on the same side

of line n is 180°, hence these are the parallel lines.
In case (ii)
Sum of two interior angles 73°+106°=179°≠ 180°.
Here, the sum of two interior angles on the same side

of line r is not equal to 180°, hence, these are not the
parallel lines.
Question 10:
Two lines l and m are perpendicular to the same line n.

Are l and m perpendicular to each other? Give reason
for your answer.
Answer 10:
No
Let line l and m are two lines perpendicular to the line

n.
∴ ∠1+ ∠2 = 90° + 90° = 180°
[∵𝑙 ⊥𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑚 ⊥𝑛 ]
18
It implies that the sum of interior angles on the same

side of transversal is 180°.
Hence, 𝑙∥𝑚.
EXERCISE- 6.3
Question 1:
In Fig. 6.9, OD is the bisector of ∠AOC, OE is the

bisector of ∠BOC and 𝑂𝐷⊥𝑂𝐸. Show that the points A, O
and B are collinear.
Answer 1:
19
Given:
In figure, 𝑂𝐷 ⊥𝑂𝐸, and 𝑂𝐸 are the bisectors of ∠AOC

and ∠BOC.
To prove:
Points A, O and B are collinear i.e., AOB is a straight

line.
Proof:
Since, OD and OE bisect angles ∠AOC and ∠BOC

respectively.
∴ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶= 2∠𝐷𝑂𝐶 ….. (i)
and ∠𝐶𝑂𝐵= 2∠𝐶𝑂𝐸 …..(ii)
On adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+∠𝐶𝑂𝐵= 2∠𝐷𝑂𝐶+2∠𝐶𝑂𝐸
⇒ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+∠𝐶𝑂𝐵= 2(∠𝐷𝑂𝐶+∠𝐶𝑂𝐸)
⇒ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+∠𝐶𝑂𝐵= 2∠𝐷𝑂𝐸
⇒ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+∠𝐶𝑂𝐵= 2 × 90° [∵ OD ⊥ OE]
⇒ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+∠𝐶𝑂𝐵= 180°
20
∴ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐵= 180°
So, ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+∠𝐶𝑂𝐵 are forming linear pair or AOB is a

straight line.
Hence, points A, O and B are collinear.
Question 2:
In Fig. 6.10, ∠1 = 60° and ∠6 = 120°. Show that the

lines m and n are parallel.
Answer 2:
Given:
In figure, ∠1 = 60° and ∠6 = 120°
To prove:
m ∥𝑛.
Proof:
Since, ∠1= 60° and ∠6 = 120°
21
Here, ∠1= ∠3 [vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠3= ∠1=60°
Now, ∠3+∠6=60°+ 120°
⇒ ∠3+∠6=180°
The sum of two interior angles on same side of 𝑙 is

180° , hence the lines are parallel.
Hence, m∥𝑛
Question 3:
AP and BQ are the bisectors of the two alternate

interior angles formed by the intersection of a
transversal t with parallel lines l and m (Fig. 6.11).
Show that AP || BQ.
Answer 3:
Given:
22
In figure, 𝑙∥𝑚, AP and BQ are the bisectors of EAB and

∠ABH respectively.
To prove: 𝐴𝑃∥𝐵𝑄
Proof:
Since, 𝑙∥𝑚 and t is transversal.
Therefore, ∠EAB and ∠ABH [alternate interior angles]
⇒ 12∠𝐸𝐴𝐵= 12∠𝐴𝐵𝐻 [dividing both sides by 2]
⇒ ∠𝑃𝐴𝐵= ∠𝐴𝐵𝑄
[AP and BQ are the bisectors of ∠𝐸𝐴𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐻]
Since, ∠𝑃𝐴𝐵 and ∠𝐴𝐵𝑄 are alternate interior angles with

two lines AP and BQ and transversal AB, hence, 𝐴𝑃∥𝐵𝑄.
Question 4:
If in Fig. 6.11, bisectors AP and BQ of the alternate

interior angles are parallel, then show that l || m.
23
Answer 4:
Given:
In figure AP∥𝐵𝑄, AP and BQ are the bisectors of

alternate interior angles ∠CAB and ∠ABF.
To prove:
𝑙∥𝑚
Proof:
Since, AP ∥𝐵𝑄 and t is transversal, therefore
∠PAB= ∠ABQ [alternate interior angles]
⇒ 2∠𝑃𝐴𝐵= 2∠𝐴𝐵𝑄
[multiplying both sides by 2]
⇒ ∠𝐸𝐴𝐵= ∠𝐴𝐵𝐻
Now, alternate interior angles are equal, so the lines l

and m are parallel.
[If two alternate interior angles are equal, then lines

are parallel]
Question 5:
24
In Fig. 6.12, BA || ED and BC || EF. Show that ∠ABC =

∠DEF.
[Hint: Produce DE to intersect BC at P (say)].
Answer 5:
Given:
BA ∥ED, and BC ∥EF.
To prove:
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶= ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹.
Construction:
Produce DE which intersect BC at P.
25
Proof:
In figure,
BA ∥𝐸𝐷 ⇒ BA ∥𝐷𝑃
∴ ∠𝐴𝐵𝑃= ∠𝐸𝑃𝐶 [corresponding angles]
⇒ ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶=∠𝐸𝑃𝐶 ... (i)
Again, BC ∥EF ⇒ PC ∥EF
∴ ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹= ∠𝐸𝑃𝐶 ... (ii) [corresponding angles]
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶= ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹
Hence proved.
Question 6:
In Fig. 6.13, BA || ED and BC || EF. Show that ∠ABC +

∠DEF = 180°
26
Answer 6:
Given:
In figure, BA ∥𝐸𝐷 and BC ∥𝐸𝐹.
To prove:
∠𝐴𝐵𝐶+ ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹=180°.
Construction:
Draw a ray PE opposite to ray EF.
Proof:
In figure, BC ∥𝐸𝐹
∴ ∠𝐸𝑃𝐵+ ∠𝑃𝐵𝐶=180° ... (i)
[sum of cointerior angles is 180°]
27
Now, AB ∥𝐸𝐷 and PE is a transversal line.
∴ ∠𝐸𝑃𝐵= ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹 ... (ii)
[corresponding angles]
∠𝐷𝐸𝐹+∠𝑃𝐵𝐶=180°
⇒ ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶= ∠𝐷𝐸𝐹=180° [∵∠𝑃𝐵𝐶=∠𝐴𝐵𝐶]
Hence proved.
Question 7:
In Fig. 6.14, DE || QR and AP and BP are bisectors of

∠EAB and ∠RBA, respectively. Find ∠APB.
Answer 7:
Given:
DE∥𝑄𝑅, and AP and PB are the bisectors of ∠EAB and

∠RBA, respectively.
28
To find:
∠APB
Solution:
We know that, the interior angles on the same side of

transversal are supplementary.
∴ ∠𝐸𝐴𝐵+ ∠𝑅𝐵𝐴=180°
1 1 1800
⇒ ∠𝐸𝐴𝐵= ∠𝑅𝐵𝐴=
2 2 2
[dividing both sides by 2]
1
⇒ ∠𝐸𝐴𝐵+ 1 ∠𝑅𝐵𝐴= 90° ...(i)
2 2
Since AP and BP are the bisectors of ∠EAB and ∠RBA

respectively.
1
∴ ∠𝐵𝐴𝑃= ∠𝐸𝐴𝐵 ...(ii)
2
and ∠𝐴𝐵𝑃= 1 ∠𝑅𝐵𝐴 ...(iii)

2
On adding equations (ii) and (iii), we get
1
∠𝐵𝐴𝑃+∠𝐴𝐵𝑃= ∠𝐸𝐴𝐵+ 1 ∠𝑅𝐵𝐴
2 2
29
Using equation (i), we get
⇒ ∠𝐵𝐴𝑃+∠𝐴𝐵𝑃=90° ...(iv)
In Δ𝐴𝑃𝐵, ∠𝐵𝐴𝑃+∠𝐴𝐵𝑃+∠𝐴𝑃𝐵=180°
[sum of cointerior angles is 180°]
⇒ 90°+∠𝐴𝑃𝐵=180°
[from equation (iv)]
⇒ ∠𝐴𝑃𝐵=180°−90°= 90°
Hence, ∠APB = 90°
Question 8:
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. Find

the angles of the triangle.
Answer 8:
Given:
Ratio of angles are 2 : 3 : 4.
To find:
30
Angles of triangle.
Solution:
The ratio of angles of a triangle is 2 : 3 : 4.
Let angles of a triangle be ∠𝐴, ∠𝐵 and ∠𝐶.
Let ∠𝐴= 2𝑥,then ∠𝐵=3𝑥 and ∠𝐶= 4x
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶, ∠𝐴+ ∠𝐵+∠𝐶 = 180°
∴ 2x + 3x + 4x = 180°
⇒ 9𝑥=180°
1800
⇒ 𝑥= =20°
9
∴ ∠𝐴= 2x = 2 × 20° = 40°
∠𝐵= 3x = 3 × 20° = 60°
and ∠𝐶= 3x = 4 × 20° = 80°
Hence, the angles of the triangles are 40°, 60° and

80°.
Question 9:
31
A triangle ABC is right angled at A. L is a point on BC

such that AL ⊥ BC. Prove that ∠BAL = ∠ACB.
Answer 9:
Given:
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶,∠𝐴=90° and AL ⊥BC
To prove: ∠BAL=∠ACB.
Proof:
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 and Δ𝐿𝐴𝐶
∠BAC=∠ALC … (i)
[each 90° ]
and ∠ABC=∠ABL. … (ii)
[common angle ]
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
32
∠𝐵𝐴𝐶+∠𝐴𝐵𝐶= ∠𝐴𝐿𝐶+∠𝐴𝐵𝐿 … (iii)
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶, ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶+∠𝐴𝐶𝐵+∠𝐴𝐵𝐶=180°
[sum of angles of triangle is 180°]
⇒ ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶+∠𝐴𝐵𝐶=180°−∠𝐴𝐶𝐵 … (iv)
In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐿, ∠𝐴𝐵𝐿+∠𝐴𝐿𝐵+∠𝐵𝐴𝐿=180°
[sum of angles of triangle is 180°]
⇒ ∠𝐴𝐵𝐿+∠𝐴𝐿𝐶=180°−∠𝐵𝐴𝐿 … (v)
[∠𝐴𝐿𝐶=𝐴𝐿𝐵=90°]
Substituting the value from equation (iv) and (v) in

equation (iii), we get
180°−∠𝐴𝐶𝐵= 180°−∠𝐵𝐴𝐿
⇒ ∠𝐴𝐶𝐵=∠𝐵𝐴𝐿
Hence proved.
Question 10:

lines. Show that they are parallel to each other.
Answer 10:
33
Given:
Two lines m and n are parallel and another two lines p

and q are respectively perpendicular to m and n.
Or 𝑝⊥𝑚 and 𝑝⊥𝑛,⊥𝑚 and 𝑞⊥𝑛
To prove: 𝑝∥𝑞
Proof:
Since, 𝑚∥𝑛 and p is perpendicular to m and n.So,
p is perpendicular to m …(i)
p is perpendicular to n …(ii)
Since, 𝑚∥𝑛 and q is perpendicular to m and n. So,
q is perpendicular to m …(iii)
q is perpendicular to n …(iv)
34
From the equations (i) and (iii) [or from (ii) and (iv)],
we get
𝑝∥𝑞.
[If two lines are perpendicular to the same line, lines

are parallel to each other]
Hence, 𝑝∥𝑞.

To prove:
(i) ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶= ∠𝐵𝑂𝐷
(ii) ∠𝐴𝑂𝐷= ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶
35
Proof:
(i) Since, ray OA stands on line CD.
∴ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐷=180° … (i)
[Linear pair axiom]
Similarly, ray OD stands on line AB.
∴ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐷+ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐷=180° … (ii)
∠𝐴𝑂𝐶+ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐷= ∠𝐴𝑂𝐷+ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐷
⇒ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐶= ∠𝐵𝑂𝐷
(ii) Since, ray OD stands on line AB.
∴ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐷+ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐷=180° … (iii)
[Linear pair axiom]
Similarly, ray OB stands on line CD.
36
∴ ∠𝐷𝑂𝐷+ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶=180° … (iv)
From equations (iii) and (iv), we get
∠𝐴𝑂𝐷+ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐷= ∠𝐷𝑂𝐵+ ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶
⇒ ∠𝐴𝑂𝐷= ∠𝐵𝑂𝐶

∠𝐴𝐶𝐷 meet at point T.
1
To Prove: ∠𝐵𝑇𝐶= ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶
2
Proof:
Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶, ∠ACD is an exterior angle.
37
∴ ∠𝐴𝐶𝐷= ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶+ ∠𝐶𝐴𝐵
[Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two

opposite angles]
1
⇒ ∠𝐴𝐶𝐷= 1 ∠𝐶𝐴𝐵+ 1 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶
2 2 2
1
⇒ ∠𝑇𝐶𝐷= ∠𝐶𝐴𝐵+ 1 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 ...(i)
2 2
[ ∵𝐶𝑇 is a bisector of∠𝐴𝐶𝐷 ⇒ 1 ∠𝐴𝐶𝐷=∠𝑇𝐶𝐷]

2
In Δ𝐵𝑇𝐶,
∴ ∠𝑇𝐶𝐷= ∠𝐵𝑇𝐶+ ∠𝐶𝐵𝑇
[Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two

opposite angles]
⇒ ∠𝑇𝐶𝐷=∠𝐵𝑇𝐶+ 1 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 ...(ii)

2
[ ∵𝐵𝑇 bisector of∠𝐴𝐵𝐶 ⇒∠𝐶𝐵𝑇= 1 ∠𝐴𝐵𝐶]

Hence proved.
Question 3:
A transversal intersects two parallel lines. Prove that

the bisectors of any pair of corresponding angles so
formed are parallel
Answer 3:
Given:
Two lines DE and QR are parallel and intersected by

transversal n at A and B respectively. Also, BP and AF
are the bisectors of angles ∠ABR and ∠CAE
respectively.
To prove: 𝐸𝑃∥𝐹𝑄
39
Proof:
Given, 𝐷𝐸∥𝑄𝑅
⇒ ∠𝐶𝐴𝐸= ∠𝐴𝐵𝑅
[Corresponding angles]
1
⇒ ∠𝐶𝐴𝐸= 1 ∠𝐴𝐵𝑅
2 2
⇒ ∠𝐶𝐴𝐹= ∠𝐴𝐵𝑃
[∵BP and AF are the bisectors of angles ∠ABR and ∠CAE

respectively]
As these are the corresponding angles on the

transversal line n and are equal. Hence, 𝐸𝑃∥𝐹𝑄.
Question 4:
Prove that through a given point, we can draw only one

[Hint: Use proof by contradiction]
Answer 4:
Given:
40
Consider a line l and a point P.
To prove:
Only one perpendicular can be drawn from P to l.
Construction:
Suppose the two lines PA and PB passing through the

point P and which are perpendicular to l.
Proof:
In Δ𝐴𝑃𝐵,
∠𝑃𝐴𝐵+∠𝑃+∠𝑃𝐵𝐴=180°
[Angle sum property of a triangle]
⇒ 90°+∠𝑃+90°= 180°
⇒ ∠𝑃= 180°− 180°
∴ ∠𝑃= 0°
41
Which is possible only when the lines PA and PB

coincide.
Hence, only one perpendicular line can be drawn

through a given point.
Question 5:
Prove that two lines that are respectively perpendicular

to two intersecting lines intersect each other.
[Hint: Use proof by contradiction]
Answer 5:
Given:
Let lines l and m are two intersecting lines. Again, let n

and p be another two lines which are perpendicular to
the intersecting lines meet at point D.
To prove:
Two lines n and p intersecting at a point.
Proof:
Let us consider lines n and p are not intersecting, then

it means they are parallel to each other i.e., 𝑛∥𝑝. … (i)
42
Since, lines n and p are perpendicular to m and l

respectively. But from equation (i), 𝑛∥𝑝, it implies that
𝑙∥𝑚. It is a contradiction.
Thus, our assumption is wrong.
Hence, lines n and p intersect at a point.
Question 6:
Prove that a triangle must have at least two acute

angles.
Answer 6:
Given:
Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 is a triangle
To Prove:
Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶 must have two acute angles.
Proof:
Let us consider the following cases
Case I
When two angles are 90°
43
Suppose two angles are ∠𝐵=90° and ∠𝐶=90°
We know that, the sum of all three angles is 180°
∴ ∠𝐴 +∠𝐵+∠𝐶=180°
∴ ∠𝐴 +90° +90° =180°
⇒ ∠𝐴=180°−180° =0, which is not possible.
Hence, this case is rejected.
Case II
When two angle are obtuse.
Suppose two angles ∠𝐵𝑎𝑛𝑑 ∠𝐶 are more than 90°
∴ ∠𝐴 +∠𝐵+∠𝐶=180°
∠𝐴=180°−(∠𝐵+∠𝐶)=180°−(Angle greater than 180°)
∠𝐴= negative angle, which is not possible.
Hence, this case is also rejected.
Case III
When one angle in 90° and other is obtuse.
44
Suppose angles ∠𝐵=90° and ∠𝐶 is obtuse.
∴ ∠𝐴 +∠𝐵+∠𝐶=180°
⇒ ∠𝐴=180°−(90°+ ∠𝐶) =90°−∠𝐶
= Negative angle, which is not possible.
Hence, this case is also rejected.
Case IV
When two angles are acute, then sum of two angles is

less than180°, so that the third angle is also acute.
Hence, a triangle must have at least two acute angles.
Question 7:
In Fig. 6.17, ∠Q > ∠R, PA is the bisector of ∠QPR and

PM ⊥ QR. Prove that ∠APM = 12 (∠Q – ∠R).
Answer 7:
45
Given:
Δ , ∠Q > ∠R, PA is the bisector of ∠QPR and PM ⊥ QR.
To prove:
1
∠APM = (∠Q – ∠R).
2
Proof:
Since, PA is the bisector of ∠QPR
∴ ∠QPA = ∠APR … (i)
In Δ𝑃𝑄𝑀 ∠Q + ∠PMQ + ∠QPM = 180°
[𝐴ngle sum property of triangles]
⇒ ∠𝑄 + 90°+∠QPM = 180°
[∠𝑃𝑀𝑄=90°]
⇒ ∠𝑄 = 90°−∠QPM … (ii)
In Δ𝑃𝑀𝑅, ∠PMR + ∠R + ∠RPM = 180°
[Angle sum property of triangles]
⇒ 90°+∠𝑅 +∠RPM = 180°
[∠𝑃𝑀𝑅=90°]
46
⇒ ∠𝑅 =180°−90°−∠RPM
⇒ ∠𝑃𝑅𝑀 =90°−∠RPM … (iii)
From equations (iii) from and (ii), we get
∠Q – ∠R= (90°−∠QPM) −(90°−∠RPM)
⇒ ∠Q – ∠R =∠RPM − ∠QPM
⇒ ∠Q – ∠R = (∠RPA+ ∠APM)−(∠QPA−∠APM) …(iv)
⇒ ∠Q −∠R =∠QPA + ∠APM −∠QPA+ ∠APM
[𝑈sing equation (i)]
⇒ ∠Q – ∠R =2∠APM
1
∴ ∠APM= (∠Q – ∠R) Hence proved.

Let ∠𝐴= 5𝑥,then ∠𝐵=3𝑥 and ∠𝐶=7x

In Δ𝐴𝐵𝐶, ∠𝐴+ ∠𝐵+∠𝐶= 180°

[Sum of angles of a triangle is 180°]

∴ ∠𝐴= 5x = 5 × 12° = 60°

∠𝐵= 3x = 3 × 12° = 36°

and ∠𝐶= 7x = 7 × 12° = 84°
