Solution
In the given ΔABC, AD bisects ∠Aand ∠C >∠B. We need to prove ∠ADB >∠ADC.

Let,
∠BAD = ∠1
∠DAC = ∠2
∠ADB = ∠3
∠ADC = ∠4
Also,
As AD bisects ∠A,
∠1 = ∠2…..(1)
Now, in ΔABD, using exterior angle theorem, we get,
∠4 = ∠B + ∠1
Similarly,
∠3 = ∠2 + ∠C
∠3 = ∠1 + ∠C [using (1)]
Further, it is given,
∠C >∠B
Adding ∠1to both the sides
∠C +∠1 >∠B + ∠1
∠3 > ∠4
Thus, ∠3 > ∠4
Hence proved.
