Level - I
1. Of the three angles of a triangle, one is twice the smallest and another is three times the smallest.
Find the angles.
Sol. Let smallest angle = x
ATQ angles are x,2x and 3x.
x+2x+3x=180 ⇒ x=30
Angles = 30,60,90

2. In a quadrilateral ABCD, AO and BO are the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B respectively, prove that ∠AOB

= C D

Sol: In quadrilateral ABCD, ∠A + ∠B +∠C +∠D = 360°

 2X + 2Y + C + D = 360°

 x + y=180° C D

In AOB, x + y + 1 = 180°

3. Can two internal angle bisector in a triangle be perpendicular?

Sol.

We know that BIC = 90° +1/2 A

If BIC =90 then A=0 not possible.

4. If all exterior angles of a polygon are obtuse then find the number of sides of the polygon.
Sol. Let no of sides = n
Each exterior angle grater than 90
Sum of angles > 90n
360 > 90n
n<4n=3

5. The sum of all interior angles of a convex n-sided polygon is less than 2007°. Find the maximum
value of n
Sol. From (n–2) × 180 < 2007° we have n –2 < 12 i.e. n < 14. When n = 13, the sum of interior
angles of convex 13 –sided polygon is 11 × 180° = 1980°, so the maximum value of n is 13.

12. (AHSME/1977) In ABC, AB = AC, A = 80°. If the points D, E, F are on the sides BC, CA and
AB respectively, such that CE = CD; BF = BD, then EDF, in degrees, is
(a) 30° (b) 40° (c) 50° (d) 65° (e) None of preceding
Ans. (c)
Sol. From A = 80° and AB = AC, we have B = C = 50°. Then
CDE = 1/2 (180° – 50°) = 65°
FDB = 1/2 (180° – 50°) = 65°
 EDF = 180° – 2 × 65° = 50°
The answer is (C)
