    In the given figure,\[\Delta ABC\]and\[\Delta PBC\]are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC and vertices A and P are on the same side of BC. A and P are joined, then

    A) \[\angle BPA=\frac{1}{2}\angle BAC\]

    B)        \[\angle BAP=\frac{1}{2}\angle BAC\]

    C)         \[\angle CPA=\frac{1}{2}\angle BAC\]

    D)         \[\angle BPA=2\angle BAC\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In \[\Delta \Beta \Alpha P\]and \[\Delta CAP\] \[AB=AC\](Sides of isosceles triangle) AP = AP                                   (Common) \[BP=CP\]         (Sides of isosceles triangle) \[\therefore \]\[\Delta BAP\cong \Delta CAP\] (By SSS congruency) \[\therefore \]\[\angle BAP=\angle CAP\]               (By C. P.C.T) But \[\angle BAP+\angle CAP=\angle BAC\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[2\angle BAP=\angle BAC\Rightarrow \angle BAP=\frac{1}{2}\angle BAC\]
