Question

In triangle ABC, D is the mid-point of BC. If DL perpendicular to AB and DM perpendicular to AC such that DL = DM, then the triangle will be:

A.

isosceles triangle

B.

right angled triangle

C.

obtuse angle triangle

D.

equilateral triangle

Correct option is A

Given:
DDD is the mid-point of BCBCBC.
DL⊥ABDL \perp ABDLAB, and DM⊥ACDM \perp ACDMAC.
DL=DMDL = DMDL=DM.   
Concept Used:  
If two triangle have one side , hypotenuse and right angle equal to each other,
then both triangles are congruent through RHS congruency. 
Solution:
In BDL\triangle BDL and CDM\triangle CDM 
DL = DM 
L=M=90\angle L = \angle M = 90^\circ 
BD = CD ( D is mid point of BC) 
So, BDLCDM△BDL \cong△CDM  ( RHS congruency)
thus BL = CM .... (1)
In ALD\triangle ALD and AMD\triangle AMD 
AD = AD (common)
L=M=90\angle L = \angle M = 90^\circ 
DL = DM  
therefore, ALDAMD △ALD≅△AM D (RHS congruency)
thus, AL = AM .... (2)
from (1) and (2) 
we get  AB = AC 
Therefore, ABC\triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
