SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 1

In ΔPQR, ∠P : ∠Q : ∠R = 2 : 2 : 5. A line parallel to QR is drawn which touches PQ and PR at A and B respectively.What is the value of ∠PBA - ∠PAB?         (SSC Sub. Ins. 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 1


In DPQR angles are in the ratio 2:2:5. So, sum of the angles 2x + 2x + 5x = 180°
9x = 180°
2x = 180°
x = 20°
∴ angles are 40°, 40°, 100°.
∵ AB || QR
∴and ∠P = 40°, ∠Q = 40°, ∠R = 100°

∴ Difference ∠PBA and ∠PAB = (100 – 40) = 60°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 2

Find the sum of interior angles of a dodecagon?       (SSC CHSL 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 2

A dodecagon is a shape with 12 sides and 12 vertices.
i.e. n = 12
Sum of internal angle of a polygon of n sides
= 2(n – 2) × 90°
Here n = 12
∴ Sum of internal angles = 2(12 – 2) × 90° = 1800°

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 8


From question ∠PBR = 105°
We know that, point of intersection of angle bisector is the in center and point of intersection of altitude is orthocenter.
∠PQR = (105° - 90°) x 2 = 30°
So, 
Now, ∠PAR + ∠PQR = 180° (orthocenter property)
∠PAR = 180° – 30° = 150°

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle and ∠DCE = 45°. If CD = 10√2 cm, then what is the length (in cm) of AC. (CB = BD):       (SSC CGL 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 11


According to the question,

From given figure,

Again, ∠AOB = ∠AOC + ∠COB
180° = 135° + ∠COB ⇒ ∠COB = 45°
Now, In DOBC, ∠OBC, ∠OCB = 180° – 90° – 45° = 45°
∴ ∠OB = BC = 5∠2 cm
In ΔOBC, (OC)2 = (OB)2 + (BC)2

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 13

∴ ∠QRS = 180° – 120° = 60°


∴ ΔRQS is a equlateral triangle.
∴ RQ = QS = 8 cm

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 14

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32 cm and each of the equal sides is 5/6 times of the base. What is the area (in cm2) of the triangle?        (SSC CGL 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 14


Let ΔABC is a isosceles triangle with two equal sides
AB = AC = x cm
then BC = 6/5 x
Now, perimeter AB + BC + AC = 32
x + (6/5)x + x = 32
16x/5 = 32 ⇒ x  = 10 cm
Again let AD is ⊥ on side BC
then BD = 12/2 = 6 cm

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 15

In ΔPQR, ∠R = 54°, the perpendicular bisector of PQ at S meets QR at T. If ∠TPR = 46°, then what is the value (in degrees) of ∠PQR?       (SSC CGL 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 15


From the figure, ∠PTQ = ∠PRT + ∠RPT
∴ ∠PTQ = 54° + 46° = 100° {Exterior angle property}
Now, in ΔPTS and ΔQTQ,
TS = TS (common)
PS = SQ
and ∠PST = ∠QST
∴ PT = TQ ⇒ ∠TPS = ∠TQS
Again in ΔPTQ, ∠TPS + ∠TQS + ∠PTQ = 180°
2∠TQS + 100° = 180°

Hence, ∠PQR = ∠TQS = 40°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 16

In the given figure, ∠QRN  = 40°, ∠PQR = 46° and MN is a tangent at R. What is the value (in degrees) of x, y and z respectively?       (SSC CGL 2017)
 

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 16

∠MRP = ∠PQR = 46°
∴ ∠y = 46°
And, ∠NRQ = m ∠QPR = 40°
∴∠x = 40°
∠x + ∠z + 46° = 180°
40° + ∠z + 46° = 180°
∴ ∠z = 94°
∴ Value of x, y and z = 40°, 46° and 94°.
