SSC CGL 2020 PYQ — Question 33

SSC CGL Tier II - Quant - 15 Nov 2020 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q33

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Diagonals BD and AC intersect each other at E. If ∠BEC = 128º and ∠ECD = 25º, then what is the measure of ∠BAC?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 103º

Concept

Angle made by the same arc on the perimeter is same.

Application

 

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

∠ECD = 25º (Given)

Therefore, ∠DBA = 25º (Angle made by same arc on perimeter is same)

∠BEC + ∠AEB = 180º (Straight line)

128º +  ∠AEB = 180º

∠AEB = 52º

In triangle AEB

∠DBA + ∠AEB + ∠BAC = 180º

Putting the values

 25º +  52º + ∠BAC = 180º

∠BAC = 103º
