Solve graphically.
The midpoints of the adjacent sides of a triangle are joined. The midpoints of the adjacent sides of the resultant triangles are also joined.
The ratio of the area of the central small triangle to the original triangle is:
1) 1 : 4
2) 1 : 8
3) 1 : 12
4) 1 : 16
5) 1 : 24
Solution:
By joining the mid-points of adjacent sides of a triangle, we get 4 equal small triangles as shown below.

Now, by joining the midpoints of the adjacent sides of the resultant triangles, each of the four small triangles is divided into 4 equal small
triangles as shown below.

So the total number of small triangles = 4 4 = 16
The ratio of area of the central small triangle to the original triangle is 1 : 16.
Hence, option 4.

1) 70, 30
2) 110, 70
3) 60, 30
4) 30, 70
5) 40, 70
Solution:
KN || AB
mQBK = mNKC (Corresponding angles)
But mQBK + mNKC = 80 (Given)
mQBK = mNKC = 40
mAQK = mBQK = 180 (Supplementary angles)
mBQK =180 70 = 110
In BQK,
mQKB = 180 (mBQK + mQBK)
mQKB = 30
QK || AC
mNCK = mQKB = 30 (Corresponding angles)
mQAC + mKQA = 180 ... (Consecutive interior angle)
mQAC = 110

mABC = 180 (mBAC + mACB) = 40
mNKC = mABC = 40 ...(Corresponding angles)
In NKC,
mKNC = 180 (mNCK + mNKC) = 110
mKNC + mKNM = 180 (Supplementary angles)
mKNM = 70
KN || JM
mAMJ = mKNM = 70 (Corresponding angles)
Hence, option 4.

In the figure given below, COSPNMJY is a regular octagon with centre B. T and F are the mid-points of sides CO and YJ respectively. Area
of triangle TBF is 128 sq. units and CO = 13.26 units. Find the area of COSPNMJY.
1) 872.68 sq. units
2) 848.64 sq. units
3) 858.64 sq. units
4) 278.54 sq. units
5) 288.66 sq. units
Solution:
Since B is the centre of the regular octagon, it is equidistant from the sides.
BT = BF
Also, since T and F are the midpoints of the sides of a regular octagon, BT and BF are the perpendicular bisectors of sides CO and JY
respectively.
In TBF, mTBF = 90

BAC = BCA
Now, mABC = 60 (Given)
mBAC = mBCA = 60
ABC is an equilateral triangle.

Solution:
AD || GH
ADC = GHD = 80
and
ADH = GHJ = 100
Let BDG = x and EGF = y
We have the following:

Now,
x + y = 110

x y = 30
Solving,
2x = 140
x = 70

In the following diagram, not drawn to scale, ABC is an equilateral triangle and BOC = 90. If OC = 12 and CD = 20, then find the
approximate area of shaded region.
1) 108 sq. cm
2) 27 sq. cm
3) 72 sq. cm
4) 36 sq. cm
5) 104 sq. cm
Solution:
As, ABC is an equilateral triangle, hence ACB = 60
Hence, BCO is 30-60-90 triangle with BC as a hypotenuse.
Hence, BC = 2 OC = 24

Now, we can easily observe that height of ABC and ACD are same.


Now, BC = AC = 24, and CO = 12
Hence, OA = AC CO = 24 12 = 12
Hence, OD is median of ACD.
