Are all angles of triangle ABC smaller than 90 degrees?

1. 2AB = 3BC = 4AC
2. AC^2 + AB^2 > BC^2

1. 2AB = 3BC = 4AC
2. AC^2 + AB^2 > BC^2


statement 1 : 2AB = 3BC = 4AC
--> AB/6 = BC/4 = AC/3 = k (say)
AB = 6k
BC = 4k
AC = 3k

we can deteremine the shape of the triangle ..... and hence can answer the question

Statement 2: tells that angle A is less than 90, but no information about angle B and C ... so insuff
