SSC CHSL 2020 PYQ — Question 69

SSC CHSL - 13th October 2020 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q69

In the given figure, if AC, DE are parallel and ∠CAB = 38o, then the value of ∠ABC + 5∠CBD is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e 218o

Understanding Application
We will gonna use properties of parallel lines, we know that alternate angles will be equal.

Given that,

∠CAB = 38o = 2a

⇒ a = 19o

By alternate angle theorem 

 ∠ACB = ∠CBD

In triangle ABC, sum of angles would be,

⇒ 38o + 19o + ∠b = 180o

⇒  ∠b = 123o

∠ABC + 5∠CBD = b + 5a

⇒ 123o + 5(19o)

⇒ 123o + 95o

⇒ 218o
