SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 61

SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level 2022 - 11 Feb 2022 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q61

In △ABC , ∠A = 60° and ∠B = 50°. The bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet P. Then ∠BPC + ∠PCA = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 155°.

∠C = 180° - ∠A - ∠B

∠C = 180 - 50° - 60° = 70°

∠CBP = 50250\over2 = 25°

∠BCP = 70270\over2 = 35°

In △BPC

∠BPC = 180° - 25° - 35° = 120°

∠PCA = ∠PCB = 35°

∠BPC + ∠PCA = 120° + 35° = 155°
