    In an isosceles triangle ABC, \[AC=BC,\]\[\angle BAC\]is bisected by AD where D lies on BC. It is found that \[AD=AB.\] Then \[\angle ACB\]equals

    A)  \[{{72}^{o}}\]        

    B)                     \[{{54}^{o}}\]                    

    C)  \[{{36}^{o}}\]                    

    D)         \[{{60}^{o}}\]        

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In \[\Delta ABC,\] we have,\[AC=BC\]      (Given) \[\Rightarrow \] \[\angle CAB=\angle ABC\] Let  \[\angle CAB=\angle ABC=\theta \]                ...(i) So,  \[\angle ACB={{180}^{o}}-2\theta \]                ?.(ii) In  \[\Delta ADB,\]we have,\[AD=AB\] (Given) \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\angle ADB=\angle ABD\] From (i), \[\angle ADB=\angle ABD=\theta \] So,  \[\angle DAB={{180}^{o}}-2\theta \] Since. AD bisects \[\angle BAC\] \[\therefore \]   \[{{180}^{o}}-2\theta =\frac{\theta }{2}\,\,\,\Rightarrow ={{72}^{o}}\] So, \[\angle ACB={{180}^{o}}-2({{72}^{o}})={{36}^{o}}\][From (ii)]
