SSC CGL 2016 PYQ — Question 24

SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 30/11/2016 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q24

PQ is a tangent to the circle at point T. If TR = TS where R and S are points on the circle and ∠RST = 65°, the ∠PTS = ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 115°

Here, TR = TS

So, ∠SRT = ∠RST = 65°

And

∠RTS = 180° - (65° + 65°) = 180°  - 130° = 50°

Now,

∠RTP = ∠SRT = 65° 

So,

∠PTS = 50° + 65° = 115°
