SSC CHSL 2021 PYQ — Question 62

SSC CHSL - 6 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q62

In a circle with centre O, APB is a tangent at P. If MN is a diameter such that ∠BPN = 52o, then what is the measure of ∠PNM?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The corrcet answer is option 1 i.e. 38o.

∠BPO = 90°                              [Tanget makes 90° with the radius always]

So, ∠OPN = 90 - 52 = 38°

Now, ∠OPN = ∠ONP               [∵ OP and ON is radius]

 ∠ONP = 38° = ∠PNM
