SSC CGL 2021 PYQ — Question 61

SSC CGL - 13 Aug 2021 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q61

Sides AB and DC of a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD are produced to meet at E and sides AD and BC are produced to meet at F. If ∠ADC = 75º and ∠BEC = 52º, then the measure of ∠AFB is :

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 22º

In the triangle ADE the sum of all angles is 180º

⇒ ∠\angleEAD = 180º - (75º + 52º)

⇒ ∠\angleEAD = 53º

As the sum of opposite angles of the cyclic quadrilateral is 180º and the sum of the angles on a line is 180º.

⇒ ∠\angleEAD = ∠\angleDCF = 53º

⇒ ∠\angleCDF = 180º - 75º

⇒ 105º

⇒ ∠\angleAFB = 180º - (105º + 53º)

⇒ 22º
