SSC Selection Post - Graduation Level - 1 Aug 2022 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q59

In ∆TAP, ∠TAP = 60°, TA = 6 cm, AP = 8 cm. K is the midpoint of AP. A line from K is produced to meet TP at O such that ∠AKO = 120°. Find the length of OK.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 3 cm.

In ΔTAP & ΔOKP

∠TAP = ∠OKP =60°

∠TPA = ∠OPK

∠ATP = ∠KOP

So, ΔTAP ~ ΔOKP

TA /AP = OK/KP

⇒ 6/8 = OK/4

⇒ OK = 3 cm
