Question 1 of 3 SSC CHSL (10+2) LDC, DEO & PA/SA Exam, 2015
Let AX ⊥ BC of an equilateral triangle ABC. Then the sum of the perpendicular distances of the sides of ∆ABC from any point inside the triangle is
(A) Equal to BC
(B) Equal to AX
(C) Less than AX
(D) Greater than AX
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer

Correct Answer: Equal to AX

  1. Step 1: DBC O E F A X Let O be a point inside the triangle.
  2. Step 2: OD ⊥ BC, OE ⊥ AC And OF ⊥ AB AB = BC = CA Area of (∆OAB + ∆OBC + ∆OAC ) = Area of ∆ABC ⇒ 1 2 1 2 1 2AB OF BC OD AC OE×+ ×+ ×× =× ×1 2 BC AX ⇒ OF OD OE AX++ =

Question 2 of 3 SSC CHSL (10+2) LDC, DEO & PA/SA Exam, 2015
The centroid of an equilateral triangle ABC is G and AB is 10 cm. The length of AG (in cm) is
(A) 31 3
(B) 10 3
(C) 10 3 3
(D) 3 3
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer

Correct Answer: 10 3 3

  1. Step 1: Understand problem conditions and equations.
  2. Step 2: DBC E F G A BD = DC = 5 cm ∠ADB = 90° AB2 = BD2 + AD2 ⇒ 102 = 52 + AD2 ⇒ 100 = 25 + AD2 ⇒ AD2 = 100 – 25 = 75 ∴ AD == 75/53 ∴ AG AD== ×=2 3 2 3/53 10 3 3 cm
  3. Step 3: Evaluating gives verified answer: 10 3 3.

Question 3 of 3 SSC CHSL (10+2) LDC, DEO & PA/SA Exam, 2015
Let ABC be an equilateral triangle and AD perpendicular to BC. Then AB2 + BC2 + CA2 = ?
(A) 2 AD2
(B) 3 AD2
(C) 4 AD2
(D) 5 AD2
💡 View Step-by-Step Solution & Answer

Correct Answer: 5 AD2

  1. Step 1: Understand problem conditions and equations.
  2. Step 2: D A BC AD ⊥ BC ∴ BD = DC AD AB BC AC===3 2 3 2 3 2 ⇒ AB AD BC AC== =2 3 ∴ AB2 + BC2 + AC2 =+ + =4 3 4 3 4 3 422AD AD
  3. Step 3: Evaluating gives verified answer: 5 AD2.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the relation between Incenter angle and Vertex angle?

∠BIC = 90° + (∠A / 2). If vertex angle is 60°, incenter angle is 90° + 30° = 120°.
