SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q72

A circle is circumscribed on a quadrilateral ABCD. If ∠ DAB = 100°, ∠ ADB = 35° and CDB = 40°, then find the measure of ∠DBC.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 60°

In triangle DAB,

∠DBA + ∠DAB + ∠ADB = 180º

⇒ 100º + 35º + ∠DBA = 180º

⇒ ∠DBA = 45°

Since the circle is circumscribed on a quadrilateral ABCD, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

So, ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°

⇒ (∠ADB + ∠CDB) + (∠ABD + ∠DBC) = 180°

⇒ ∠DBC = 60°

∴ The measure of ∠DBC is 60°.
