Question : Two medians AD and BE of $\triangle$ ABC intersect at G at right angles. If AD = 9 cm and BE = 6 cm, then the length of BD (in cm) is:
Option 1: 10
Option 2: 6
Option 3: 5
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 5
Solution : Given: AD = 9 cm BE = 6 cm $\angle$DGB = 90° Here, the point of intersection of its medians, G divides the median in the ratio 2:1. So, DG = $\frac{1}{3}×$AD = $\frac{1}{3}×9=3$ cm BG = $\frac{2}{3}×$BE = $\frac{2}{3}×6=4$ cm From Pythagoras theorem we know, BD 2 = DG 2 + BG 2 ⇒ BD 2 = $3^2+4^2=25$ $\therefore$ BD = $\sqrt{25}=5$ cm. Hence, the correct answer is 5 cm.
