SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

Ac is te diameter of a circle dividing the circle into two semicircles. ED is a chord in one semi circle, such that ED is parallel to AC. B is a point on the circumference of the circle in the other semicircle.∠CBE = 75°. What is the measure (in degrees) of ∠CED?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

 The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 15°

 ∠CBE =  ∠CAE = 75° ( Angles formed by endpoints of the chord in either major or minor segments are always equal)

 ∠ECA = 180 - 90 = 75 = 15°

Now, ED || AC

So,  ∠ECA =  ∠CED = 15°
