SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 30/11/2016 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q23

In ΔABC, AC = BC and ∠ABC = 50°, the side BC is produced to D so that BC = CD then the value of ∠BAD is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 90°

Now, In ΔABC:

50° + x + 50° = 180°

⇒ x = 80°

∠ACD = 180° - x = 180° - 80° = 100°

In ΔACD:

100° + y + y = 180°

⇒ y = 40°

Hence,

∠BAD = 50° + 40° = 90°
