SSC CGL 2019 PYQ — Question 43

SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 12/09/2019 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q43

In triangle ABC, the perpendiculars drawn from A, B and C meet the opposite sides at D, E and F, respectively. AD, BE and CF intersect at point P. If ∠ EPD = 116° and the bisectors of  ∠ A and ∠ B meet at Q. Then the measure of ∠ AQB is ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 122°.

∠ EPD = 116° [Given]

From the figure:

∠C = 360 - [116 + 90 + 90] = 64°

Now,

Q is the Incenter of the triangle.

So,

∠AQB = 90° + (∠C/2)

∠ AQB = 90° + 32° = 122°
