Geometry mcq question image
In ΔBAD and ΔBDC
∠BDA = ∠BDC   (Each 90°)
If ∠C = 30°
Then ∠A = 60°
Also ∠ABD = 30°
∠BCD = ∠ABD
ΔBAD ∼ ΔBDC . . . . . (i)
In ΔBAD and ΔCAB
∠BDA = ∠ABC   (Each 90°)
∠BAD = ∠BAC   (common)
ΔBAD ∼ ΔCAB . . . . . (ii)
Similarly ΔCBD ∼ ΔCAB . . . . . (iii)
All conditions are true.
