SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 65

SSC CHSL - 07 Aug 2023 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q65

If the angles of triangle PQR satisfy the relation 2R - P = Q - R, then find the measure of angle R.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 45°.

Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

According to the given question,

In triangle PQR, ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180°   ...(i)

Also, given 2R - P = Q - R

⇒ P + Q = 3R   ...(ii)

Putting the value from equation (ii) in equation (i),

⇒ 3R + R = 180°

⇒ 4R = 180°

⇒ R = 45°
