Sol. n + (n + 1 + (n+2) ≤ 100 yields 1 ≤ n ≤ 32. The triangle inequality means n + 2 < 2n + 1 which

Sol. Connect AE, let CE = x cm. From AE = EB = 12 – x cm
Since AE2 = AC2 + CE2
(12 -x)2 = 62 + x2

24x = 108,
x = 4.5
Thus CE = 4.5 cm

1. There are four points A; B; C; D on the plane, such that any three points are not collinear. Prove that
in the triangles ABC; ABD; ACD and BCD there is at least one triangle which has an interior angle
not greater than 45
Sol. It suffices to discuss the two cases indicated by the following figures:
For case (a), since DAB ABC BCD CDA 360 , at least one of them is not less than
90°.Assuming CDA 90°, then in CDA, DCA CAD 90 , so one of them is not greater
than 45°
For case (b), since ADB ADC BDC 360 , one of the three angles is greater than 90°, say
ADB 90 , then DAB DBA 90 , so one DAB and DBA is less than 45°
2. Prove that a convex polygon cannot have more than three acute internal angles.
Sol. We prove this method of contradiction. let us assume there are four acute angles a 1,a2,a3,a4 < 90
a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 < 360
Sum of angles = a1 + a2 + … + an = (n–2) 180
a5 + a6 + ……an > (n–2) 180 – 360°
(n –4) angels > (n–4) 180
Clearly seen atleast one angle greater than 180 which is impossible
M2 Sum of exterior angles = 360
Exterior angle = 180 – Interior angle
If interior angle < 90
⇒ Exterior angle ‘q’ > 90
If more than 3 angles are acute
Then their exterior angles are obtuse
Sum of exterior angle > 360

3. Prove that in any triangle, the three points of intersection of the adjacent angle
trisectors form an equilateral triangle.
Sol. Given: AP, AR trisects angle A; BP, BQ trisects angle B; CQ, CR trisects angle C
To Prove: PQR is an equilateral triangle.
Proof: In ABC 3a + 3b + 3c = 180°
⇒ a + b + c = 60°
In ABE, AP, BP are the angle bisectors
P is the incentre of AEB
PE bisects ∠AEB ⇒ ∠PEA = ∠PEB = x (say)
Similarly Q is the incentre of BFC and R is the incentre of ADC.
QF bisects ∠BFC ⇒ ∠BFQ = ∠CFQ = y (say)
RD bisects ∠ADC ⇒ ∠RDA = ∠RDC = z (say)
Also in AEB, 2a + 2b + 2x = 180°
⇒ a + b + x = 90° (From Eq. (1))
⇒ 60° - c + x = 90° (2)
⇒ x = 30° + c
Similarly, y = 30° + a
and z = 30° + b
In APB,
∠APB = 180° - (a + b)
= 180° – (60° –c) (From Eq.(1)
⇒ ∠APB = 120° + c
⇒ ∠BPS = ∠APF = 180° - ∠APB = 60° - c
In BPS,
∠PSQ = 60° - c + b (Exterior angle property)
GEOMETRY 89
In PSE,
∠SPE + (60° - c + b) + x = 180°
⇒ ∠SPE + 60° + b - c + 30° + c = 180°
⇒ ∠SPE = 90° - b
In PDI,
90° - b + z + ∠PID = 180°
⇒ 90° - b + 30° + b + ∠PID = 180°
⇒ ∠PID = 60°
Similarly ∠DIQ = 60°
So ∠PIQ = 120°
Similarly ∠QIR = 120°
∠PIR = 120°
In PID and QID
∠PID = ∠QID = 60°
∠IPD = ∠IQD = 90° - b (From Eq. (3))
ID = ID
By AAS congruency
PID ≅ QID
⇒ PI = QI and PD = QD (CPCT)
DI is the ⊥ bisector of PQ
As DIR is a straight line, DR is the ⊥ bisector of PQ
⇒ PR = QR (4)
Similarly PE is the ⊥ bisector of QR (5)
From Eqs. (4) and (5)
PQ = QR = PR

that BAN = 50°, ABM = 60°. Find NMB in degrees.
Sol.
From BNA = 180° – 50° – 80° = 50° = BAN,
We have AB = NB. On AC take D such that ABD = 20°, then ADB = DAB = 80°,therefore DB
= AB = NB. Since DBN = 60°, the triangle NDB is equilateral, therefore
ND = DB = NB, MDN = 180° –80° – 60° = 40°
Angle DBM = 60° – 80° = 40°, and
DMB = 180° – 60° – 80° = 40°,
It follows that DM = DB = DN, therefore
DMN = DNM = 70°, so
NMB = DMN – DMB = 70°– 40° = 30°

are on l
It is easy to see that

Since the projection on l of M is the midpoint of A1E1 , so is also the midpoint of BD.
On the other hand, the distance from M to l , is the middle line of the trapezium AA 1E1E, so it is

number of such triangle.
Sol. Let the lengths of the three sides be a, b, c respectively, where a ≥ b ≥ c
17
c 6 leads a – b < c ≤ 5. We classify the triangles according to the integral value of c for
3
counting.
(i) When c = 1, then a + b = 16, a – b = 0, therefore a = b = 8, c = 1 is a solution
(ii) When c = 2, then a + b = 15, a – b = 1, therefore a = 8, b = 7, c = 1 is a solution.
(iii) When c = 3, then a + b = 14, a – b = 0, or a + b = 14 , a –b = 2, therefore a = b = 7, c = 13 and a
= 8, b = 6, c = 3 are 2 solutions;
(iv) When c = 4, then a + b = 13, a – b = 1, or a + b = 13, a–b = 3, therefore a = 7, b = 6, c = 4 and a
= 8, b = 5,c= 4 are 2 solutions
(v) When c = 5, then a+ b = 12, a – b = 0, or a + b = 12, a – b = 2, therefore a = b = 6, c = 5 and a =
7, b = c = 5 are 2 solutions
Thus, there are 8 such triangles in total.

i.e., a (a+c) = b2
According to our assumption of the ∠B > ∠A holds (1)
Either b = (a + 1) or b = (a + 2) (as a, b, c consecutive)
In first case i.e. b = a + 1 b2 =a(a+c)
(a+1)2 = a(a+c), i.e. a2 + 2a + 1 = a2 + ac
2a + 1 =ac a | 1 a = 1 c = 3 and b = 2
Which is impossible thus b a 1
Then, let b = a + 2 then c = a + 1, now (a + 2)2 = a(a + a +1 ) = 2a2 +a
a2 – 3a – 4 = 0
a = -1 or 4, but a 1 (reject)
a = 4, thus b = 6 and c = 5

Let the image of P be M under the rotation. Then BM = BP,MBP = 60°
So DMBP is equilateral , i.e. MP = 2Ö3. From MC = PA = 2 and
MP2+ MC2 = 12 + 4 = 42 = PC2
so PMC = 90° , BPA = BMC = 150°. Further PC = 2MC implies MPC = 30°, so BPC= 90°,
