Detailed Solution

Suppose there is a isosceles triangle ABC in which,
AB=BC
Question ImageDrop a perpendicular from A to O.
Here, in triangle ABO and CBO, we have,
AB=BC                 (isosceles triangle equal sides)
BOC=BOA=90o              (right angle)
BO=BO                    (common side)
So, from side-angle-side criteria of congruency,
AOBCOB
So, from corresponding parts of the congruence triangle,
AO=CO
Thus, we can say that altitude from the vertex AO bisect the base BC in isosceles triangle.
So, the given statement is true.
Option 1 is correct.
