SSC CHSL - 19 April 2021 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q51

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral whose diagonals intersect at P. If ∠DBC = 72º and ∠BAC = 42º , then the measure of ∠BCD (in degrees) is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 66.

Let's assume ∠BCD =  θ

We have given,

∠BAC = 42°

∠DBC = 72°

∠DBC = ∠DAC = 72° (Same segment angles)

∠DAB = 72° + 42° = 114°

So, ∠BCD = 180° - 114° = 66°
