SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 60

SSC CGL - 20 April 2022 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q60

PQRS is a cyclic quadrilateral and PQ is the diameter of the circle. If ∠RPQ = 23°, then what is the measure of ∠PSR?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 113°

If PQ is the diameter, then ∠PRQ will be 90º (Angle made by a diameter in a segment is 90º)

∠PQR = 180 - 90 - 23 = 67º

In a cyclic quadrilateral, Opposite angles are supplementary.

Thus, ∠PQR + ∠PSR = 180

⇒ ∠PSR = 180 - 67 = 113º
