Let's solve each problem step by step:

---

Problem (1): Find the length of the longest straight line which can be drawn on a paper of size 3 cm × 4 cm.

The longest straight line that can be drawn on a rectangular paper is its diagonal. To find the length of the diagonal, we use the Pythagorean theorem:

\[
\text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{\text{length}^2 + \text{width}^2}
\]

Here, the length is 4 cm and the width is 3 cm:

\[
\text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \text{ cm}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{5}
\]

Problem (2): If ∠BDC and ∠ACB are right angles, find the value of ∠CBD.

From the diagram, we see that:
- ∠BDC = 90° (given)
- ∠ACB = 90° (given)
- ∠CDB = 60° (given)

In triangle BDC, the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°. Therefore:

\[
\angle CBD + \angle BDC + \angle CDB = 180^\circ
\]

Substitute the known values:

\[
\angle CBD + 90^\circ + 60^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

Simplify:

\[
\angle CBD + 150^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

\[
\angle CBD = 180^\circ - 150^\circ = 30^\circ
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{30^\circ}
\]

Problem (3): In a triangle ABC if BC = AC and ∠C = 80°, find the value of angle ∠B.

Since BC = AC, triangle ABC is isosceles with ∠B = ∠A. Let ∠B = ∠A = x. The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°:

\[
\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ
\]

Substitute the known values:

\[
x + x + 80^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

Simplify:

\[
2x + 80^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

\[
2x = 100^\circ
\]

\[
x = 50^\circ
\]

Thus, ∠B = 50°.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{50^\circ}
\]

Problem (4): If two of the angles in a triangle are 60° each, then what kind of triangle is it?

If two angles in a triangle are 60° each, the third angle can be found using the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°:

\[
\text{Third angle} = 180^\circ - 60^\circ - 60^\circ = 60^\circ
\]

Since all three angles are 60°, the triangle is equilateral.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\text{Equilateral}}
\]

---

Problem (5): If 2 angles in a triangle add up to 111°, then what is the value of the third angle?

The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°. If two angles add up to 111°, the third angle is:

\[
\text{Third angle} = 180^\circ - 111^\circ = 69^\circ
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{b. 69^\circ}
\]

Problem (6): Which of the following is false for a triangle?

We analyze each option:
- (a) Each angle is equal to 60°: This is true for an equilateral triangle.
- (b) One angle is obtuse angle: This is true for an obtuse triangle.
- (c) Each angle is less than 60°: This is false because the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so at least one angle must be 60° or greater.
- (d) Two angles are acute angles: This is true for most triangles.

The false statement is (c).

Answer:
\[
\boxed{c}
\]

Problem (7): Divya (height 53 cm) and Surjeet (height 58 cm) are standing in a ground. If distance between their toe is 12 cm, what is the distance between their heads?

The distance between their toes is 12 cm. The difference in their heights is:

\[
58 \text{ cm} - 53 \text{ cm} = 5 \text{ cm}
\]

Since they are standing vertically, the distance between their heads is the same as the distance between their toes plus the height difference:

\[
\text{Distance between heads} = 12 \text{ cm} + 5 \text{ cm} = 17 \text{ cm}
\]

However, the options provided do not include 17 cm. Let's recheck the problem: the distance between their heads is simply the vertical difference in height, which is 5 cm.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{c. 3 \text{ cm}}
\]

(Note: There seems to be a discrepancy in the options. The correct answer based on the problem should be 5 cm, but the closest option is 3 cm.)

Problem (8): Which is the smallest angle of this triangle?

The triangle has angles labeled as follows:
- ∠A = 27°
- ∠B = 25°
- ∠C = 24°

The smallest angle is ∠C = 24°.

Answer:
\[
\boxed{c. \angle C}
\]
