SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 75

SSC CGL - 17 Aug 2021 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q75

Point P, Q, R, S and T tie in this order on a circle with centre O. If chord TS is parallel to diameter PR and ∠RQT = 58°, then find the measure (in degrees) of ∠RTS.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e 32.

∠\angleRQT = ∠\angleRPT = 58°( Angle on the segment) 

∠\anglePTR = 90° (angle in a semi-circle is equal to 90°)

∠\anglePRT = 180 - 90 - 58 = 32°

∠\angleRTS = ∠\anglePRT = 32° (Alternate interior angle).
