उत्तर
In the given figure, we need to find y in terms of x

Now, using the property, “an exterior angle of the triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles”, we get
In ΔABC
ext∠ACD = ∠CAB + ∠CBA
ext∠ACD = x + 2x
ext∠ACD =3x ..........(1)
Similarly, in ΔOCD
ext∠AOD = ∠OCD + ∠CDO
3y = ∠OCD + y (using 1)
3y - y = 3x
2y = 3x
`y = 3/2 x`
Thus, `y = 3/2x `

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:

In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
AB = AC (Given)
∠B = ∠C (Because AB = AC)
and ∠ADB = ∠ADC
Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
What is the defect in the above arguments?
[Hint: Recall how ∠B = ∠C is proved when AB = AC].
