SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 08 Feb 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q72

In ΔABC, AB and AC are produced to points D and E, respectively. If the bisectors of ∠CBD and ∠BCE meet at point O, so that ∠ BOC = 76°, then find the measure of ∠A.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 28°.

76° = 90° - ∠A/2

⇒ ∠A/2 = 90° - 76° = 14°

⇒ ∠A = 14° × 2 = 28°
