Answer
In ΔBDC,
⇒ DC = DB
⇒ ∠DBC = ∠DCB = 30° (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are always equal)
In ΔBDC, according to angle sum property,
⇒ ∠BDC + ∠DBC + ∠DCB = 180°
⇒ ∠BDC + 30° + 30° = 180°
⇒ ∠BDC + 60° = 180°
⇒ ∠BDC = 180° - 60°
⇒ ∠BDC = 120°
Since ∠BDC and ∠CDA forms linear pair.
⇒ ∠BDC + ∠CDA = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠CDA = 180°
⇒ ∠CDA = 180° - 120°
⇒ ∠CDA = 60°
Since, AC = DC
⇒ ∠CDA = ∠CAD = 60° (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle is always equal)
In ΔACD, according to angle sum property,
⇒ ∠ACD + ∠CDA + ∠CAD = 180°
⇒ ∠ACD + 60° + 60° = 180°
⇒ ∠ACD + 120° = 180°
⇒ ∠ACD = 180° - 120°
⇒ ∠ACD = 60°
So, ΔCAD is equilateral.
∴ Both the statements are true.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
