(c) ∆CBA ≅ ∆PRQ
Explanation:
Ans. (b) ∆CBA ≅ ∆PRQ According to the question, AB = QR, BC = PR and CA = PQ Since, AB = QR, BC = PR and CA =
PQ We can say that, A corresponds to Q, B corresponds to R, C corresponds to P

2.
(b) AB = PQ, BC= QR,AC = PR
Explanation:
Since, △ABC ≅△PQR, so their corresponding parts are equal.
∴ AB = PQ, BC = QR and AC = PR.

3.
(d) ∠F = ∠J
Explanation:
Ans. (a) ∠F = ∠J We know for SAS, if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are equal to the two sides and the
included angle of the other triangle, then the triangles are congruent. So, ∠F = ∠J

4.
(b) 5 cm
Explanation:
In △ABC and △DEF
AB = DE (given)
∠A = ∠D = 90°
AC = DF (given)
∴ △ABC ≅△DEF (By SAS congruency)
∴ BC = EF = 5 cm (By C.P.C.T.)

5.
(b) SSS
Explanation:
In △ABC and △ADC,we have,
AB = AD (4cm)
BC = DC (2.7 cm)
AC = AC (commom in both)
Hence ,△ABC ≅△ADC , by SSS criterion.

equal.

10. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Section B
11. In △AOD and △BOC,
AD=BC ...(Given)
∠A = ∠B ... (Each 90°)
B and ∠AOD = ∠BOC (vert opp. Angles)
∴ △AOD ≅△BOC (AAS rule)
∴ OA = OB (CPCT)
Hence CD bisects AB.
12. In the given figure ABCD, ∠A = 72o
We know that opposite angles of a parallelogram
are equal Hence, ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
∴ ∠C = 72o
∠A and ∠B are adjacent
angles. ∴ ∠A + ∠B =
180o
∠B = 180o - ∠A

∠B = 180o - 72o = 108o

∴ ∠B = ∠D = 108o
Hence, ∠B = ∠D = 108o and ∠C = 72o

14. Let ABC is an equilateral triangle. We know that all the sides of an equilateral triangle are equal.
∴ AB = BC = CA ..... (1)

To prove :- ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60°
Proof :-
In ΔABC we have:-
AB = AC [from (1)]
⇒ ∠C = ∠B ...... (2)
[∵ Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal]
Again from (1),
BC = AC
⇒ ∠A = ∠B........ (3)
[∵ Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal] .
From (2) & (3) ;
⇒∠ =∠ =
A B ∠C ....(4)
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180 [∵ Angle sum property of a triangle]
∘

⇒ ∠A + ∠A + ∠A = 180 [From (4) ]

∘

⇒ 3∠A = 180∘ |
⇒ ∠A = 1803 = 60∘
∘

∴ ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = 60 ∘ [ from (4) ].

Hence, each angle of an equilateral triangle is equal to 60°.

15. i) AB || DC and EC cuts them
⇒ ∠BEC = ∠ECD
⇒ ∠BEC = ∠ECB ... [∵ ∠ECD = ∠ECB]
⇒ EB = BC
⇒ AE = AD
ii)
Now, AE = AD
⇒ ∠ADE = ∠AED
⇒ ∠ADE = ∠EDC ... [∵ ∠AED = ∠EDC ... (alt. interior angles)]
DE bisects ∠ADC
iii)
∠ADC + ∠BCD = 180o ... [co-interior angles]
⇒ 1 ∠ADC + 1 ∠BCD = 90o ⇒ ∠EDC + ∠DCE = 90o
2 2

3/6
 But, ∠EDC + ∠DCE + ∠DEC = 180o ... [sum of the angles of a △]
∠DEC = 90o

Section E
18. i. In △AMC and △BMD,
AM = BM [M is the mid-point of AB]
∠AMC =∠ BMD [Vertically opposite angles]
CM = DM [Given]
∴ △AMC ≅△BMD [By SAS congruency]
∴ ∠ ACM =∠ BDM ...(i)
ii. For two lines AC and DB and transversal DC, we have,
∠ACD = ∠BDC [Alternate angles]
∴ AC ∥ DB
Now for parallel lines AC and DB and for transversal BC.
∠ DBC = ∠ ACB [Alternate angles] ...(ii)
ButΔ ABC is a right angled triangle, right angled at C.

4/6
 ∴ ∠ACB = 90° (iii)
Therefore ∠ DBC = 90° [Using eq. (ii) and (iii)]
⇒∠ DBC is a right angle.
iii. Now in △DBC and △ ABC,
DB = AC [Proved in part (i)]
∠ DBC = ∠ACB = 90° [Proved in part (ii)]
BC = BC [Common]
∴ △DBC ≅△ACB [By SAS congruency]
iv. Since △DBC ≅△ACB [Proved above]
∴ DC = AB
⇒ AM + CM = AB
⇒ CM + CM = AB [∵ AM = CM]
⇒ 2CM = AB
⇒ CM = 1 AB 2

OR
A rectangle ABCD in which P, Q, R and S are the mid-points of sides AB, BC, CD and DA respectively. PQ, QP, RS and SP are
joined.
TO PROVE: PQRS is a rhombus.
CONSTRUCTION Join AC.

In △ABC, P and Q are the mid-points of sides AB and BC respectively.

∴ PQ || AC and PQ = 1 AC ...(i)
2

5/6
In △ADC, R and S are the mid-points of sides CD and AC respectively.
∴ SR || AC and SR = 1 AC ...(ii)
2
From (i) and (ii), we get
PQ || SR and PQ = SR ...(iii)
⇒ PQRS is a parallelogram
Now, ABCD is a rectangel.
∴ AD = BC
⇒ 1 AD = 1 BC
2 2
⇒ AS = BQ ...(iv)
In Δs APS and BPQ, we have
AP = BP [∴P is the mid-point of AB]
∠PAS = ∠PBQ [Each equal to 90o]
and, AS = BQ [From (iv)]
So, by SAS criterion of congruence, we obtain
ΔAPS ≅ΔBPQ
PS = PQ [c.p.c.t] ...(v)
From (iii) and (v), we obtain that PQRS is a parallelogram such that PS = PQ i.e. two adjacent sides are equal. Hence, PQRS is a
rhombus.
