SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 94

SSC CGL Tier II - Quant - 29 Jan 2022 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q94

In △ABC, ∠A = 60º and ∠B = 50º. If the bisector of ∠B and ∠C meet at P, then ∠BPC - ∠PCA =?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 85º

∠BPC= 90 + 1/2 × ∠A

∠BPC = 90 + 30 = 120°

∠PBA = 1/2 × ∠B

∠PBA = 1/2 × 50 = 25°

∠PCA = 180 - 120 - 25 = 35°

Required difference = 120 - 35 = 85°.
