SSC CGL 2019 PYQ — Question 67

SSC CGL - 6th June 2019 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q67

In a circle with center O, ACBO is a parallelogram where C is a point on the minor arc AB. What is the measure of ∠AOB?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 120°

Concept

Application

All the angles of equilateral triangle are of 60°

OB = OC = OA (radius of the circle)

Also, OA = BC and OB = AC (parallel sides of parallelogram)

Therefore,

triangle OBC and triangle OAC are equilateral triangle.

Hence,

∠AOB = ∠AOC + ∠BOC = 60° + 60° = 120°
