SSC CGL - 23 Aug 2021 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q58

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which ∠A = x°, ∠B = 5y°, ∠C = 2x° and ∠D = y°. What is the value of (3x - y) ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 150

The sum of a pair of opposite angles is 180°

∠A + ∠C = 180°

x + 2x = 180°

 3x = 180°

 x = 60°

∠B + ∠D = 180°

5y + y = 180°

6y = 180°

y = 30°

(3x - y) = (60 × 3 - 30) = 150
