SSC CHSL 2021 PYQ — Question 72

SSC CHSL - 13 April 2021 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q72

A circle touches all four sides of a quadilateral PQRS. If PQ = 11 cm, QR = 12 cm and PS = 8 cm, then what is the length of RS?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 9 cm.

When the circle touches all four sides of quadrilateral PQRS then, 

PQ + RS = SP + RQ

Hence,

⇒ 11 + RS = 8 + 12

⇒ RS = 20 - 11

⇒ RS = 9
