Correct Answer: AB : BD = 2 : 1
Solution : In $\triangle$ABC, AD$\perp$BC As $\triangle$ABC is an equilateral triangle, AD is an altitude as well as median on BC, i.e., AD is a perpendicular bisector of BC. ⇒ BD = DC = $\frac{1}{2}$BC Since AB = BC = CA, ⇒ BD = $\frac{1}{2}$BC = $\frac{1}{2}$AB ⇒ $\frac{AB}{BD}$ = $\frac{2}{1}$ ⇒ AB : BD = 2 : 1 Hence, the correct answer is AB : BD = 2 : 1.

Question : ABC is a right angle triangle and $\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}$. BD is perpendicular on the side AC. What is the value of $(BD)^2$?
Question : A point D is taken from the side BC of a right-angled triangle ABC, where AB is hypotenuse. Then:
Question : In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$BAC = 90º and AD is perpendicular to BC. If AD = 6 cm and BD = 4 cm, then the length of BC is:
Question : In a $\triangle$ABC, DE||BC, D and E lie on AB and AC, respectively. If AB = 7 cm and BD = 3 cm, then find BC : DE.
Question : In $\triangle$ABC, the bisector of $\angle$BAC intersects BC at D and the circumcircle of $\triangle$ABC at E. If AB : AD = 3 : 5, then AE : AC is:
