उत्तर
Let us join AC.
In ΔABC,
AB < BC (AB is the smallest side of quadrilateral ABCD)
∴ ∠2 < ∠1 (Angle opposite to the smaller side is smaller) ... (1)
In ΔADC,
AD < CD (CD is the largest side of quadrilateral ABCD)
∴ ∠4 < ∠3 (Angle opposite to the smaller side is smaller) ... (2)
On adding equations (1) and (2), we obtain
∠2 + ∠4 < ∠1 + ∠3
⇒ ∠C < ∠A
⇒ ∠A > ∠C
Let us join BD.
In ΔABD,
AB < AD (AB is the smallest side of quadrilateral ABCD)
∴ ∠8 < ∠5 (Angle opposite to the smaller side is smaller) ... (3)
In ΔBDC,
BC < CD (CD is the largest side of quadrilateral ABCD)
∴ ∠7 < ∠6 (Angle opposite to the smaller side is smaller) ... (4)
On adding equations (3) and (4), we obtain
∠8 + ∠7 < ∠5 + ∠6
⇒ ∠D < ∠B
⇒ ∠B > ∠D
