SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 75

SSC CGL - 24 Sep 2024 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q75

PQ is the diameter of a circle with centre A. M is a point on the circle. If m∠MAP = 110°, then find the value of m∠MQA.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 55°.

∠MAP = 110° 

∠QAM = 180° - 110° = 70°

AM = AQ = Radius

So, ΔAQM is a isosceles triangle.

∠AQM = ∠AMQ = x             

∠AQM + ∠AMQ + ∠QAM = 180°

⇒ x + x + 70° = 180°

⇒ 2x = 110°

⇒ x = 55°
