SSC CHSL 2020 PYQ — Question 57

SSC CHSL - 14th October 2020 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q57

If in any triangle, the angles are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 1, then what will be the ratio of its sides?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e 1 : √(2) : 3

Understanding Application
The sum of angles of the given triangle is 180°.

The ratio of the given angles of triangles is 1 : 2 : 1 which can be written as x, 2x & x

⇒ x + 2x + x = 180°

⇒ 4x = 180°

⇒ x = 45°

The given triangle is a right-angled triangle so it has to satisfy the Pythagoras theorem.

Which is satisfied is Option 3 only.
