SSC CGL 2019 PYQ — Question 60

SSC CGL - 7th June 2019 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q60

In ∆ABC, AM is perpendicular to BC and AN is the bisector of ∠A. What is the measure of ∠MAN, if ∠B = 55o and ∠C = 35o?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 10o.

.

In triangle ABC, we have two triangles ABM & AMC are right-angled triangles

⇒ ∠BAN = ∠NAC (given)

In the triangle ABC, the sum of angles will be given as

⇒ 55o + 35o + ∠A = 180o

⇒ ∠A = 90o

⇒ ∠BAN = ∠NAC = 45o

In triangle ANC, the sum of angles will be given as

⇒ 45o + 35o + ∠ANC = 180o

⇒ ∠ANC = 100o

⇒ ∠ANB = 80o

In triangle ANM, the sum of angles will be given as

⇒ 80o + 900 + ∠MAN = 180o

⇒ ∠MAN = 10o
