SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 55

SSC CGL - 21 April 2022 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q55

In ∆ABC, the perpendiculars drawn from A, B and C meet the opposite sides at points D, E and F, respectively,. AD, BE and CF intersect at point P. If ∠EPD = 110° and the bisectors of ∠A and ∠B meet at point Q, then ∠AQB = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 125°

∠EPD = 1100

In ΔABC if the angle bisector of ∠B and ∠C meet at a point O inside the triangle then -

∠BOC = 900 + ∠A/2

In the diagram -

DPEC is quadrilateral.

∠C = 3600 - (∠P + ∠D + ∠E)

∠C = 3600 - (1100 + 900 + 900)

∠C = 3600 - 2900 = 700

According to the concept -

∠AQB = 900 + 70/2 = 900 + 350 = 1250
