 S is the incentre of ΔPQR, If ∠PSR = 125°, then the measure of ∠PQR is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 70°

Points to remember:

∠AIC = 90° + 1/2∠B

∠AIB = 90° + 1/2∠C

∠AIC = 90° + 1/2∠A

Now,

∠PSR = 90° + 1/2 × ∠PQR

⇒ 125° = 90° + 1/2 × ∠PQR

⇒ 1/2 × ∠PQR = 35°

⇒ ∠PQR = 70°
