SSC CPO - 29 June 2024 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q111

The side PR of a ΔPQR is extended to S such that QR = RS. If ∠PRQ = 86°, then find the value of ∠PSQ.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 43°.

⇒ ∠QRS = 180° - 86° = 94°

⇒ ∠RQS =∠RSQ {two equal sides in Δ QRS}

⇒ ∠x + ∠x + 94° = 180°

⇒ ∠x = 86°/2 = 43°
