SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 09 Feb 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q60

In ΔABC, D is a point on BC such that ∠ADB = 2 ∠DAC, ∠BAC = 70˚, and ∠B = 46˚. What is the measure of ∠ADC?  

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 52˚. 

∠BAC = 70˚

∠BAD = 70˚ - x

In ΔBAD,

⇒ 46˚ + 2x + 70˚ - x = 180˚

⇒ 116˚ + x = 180˚

⇒ x = 64˚

⇒ 2x = 128˚

⇒ ∠ADC = 180˚ - 128˚ = 52˚
