Consider the triangle shown in the figure where BC = 12 cm, DB = 9 cm, CD = 6 cm and ∠BCD = ∠BAC.
What is the ratio of the perimeter of the triangle ADC to that of the triangle BDC ?

A. 7 : 9

B. 8 : 9

C. 6 :9

D. 5 : 9

E. None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Here, ∠ACB = c + 180 - (2c - b) = 180 - (b + c)
So, We can say that ΔBCD and ΔABC will be similar.
According to property of similarity,
$$\frac{{{\text{AB}}}}{{12}} = \frac{{12}}{9}$$
Hence,
AB = 16
$$\frac{{{\text{AC}}}}{6} = \frac{{12}}{9}$$
AC = 8
Hence, AD = 7 and AC = 8
Now,
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{{\text{Perimeter of Delta ADC}}}}{{{\text{Perimeter of Delta BDC}}}} \cr & = \frac{{6 + 7 + 8}}{{9 + 6 + 12}} \cr & = \frac{{21}}{{27}} \cr & = \frac{7}{9} \cr} $$
