As, ΔAFO ~ ΔABD

∴ O be the mid point of AD i.e. AO = OD.
Now, as centroid divides the median in the ratio 2 : 1

2(AO) – 2(OG) = AO + OG.
(AO) = 3(OG)
∴ AO : OG = 3 : 1

In an obtuse-angled triangle ABC, ∠A is the obtuse angle and O is the orthocenter.  If ∠BOC = 54°, then ∠BAC is    (SSC CGL 1st Sit. 2012)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 6


Let altitudes drawn from vertex B and C cross each other at Point ‘O’.
then, ∠BOC = 54° = ∠EOF {vertically opposite angles}
Now, in quadrilateral AEOF
∠AEO + ∠AFO + ∠EAF + ∠EOF = 360°
90° + 90° + ∠EAF + 54° = 360°
∴ ∠EAF = 360° – 90° – 90° – 54° = 126°
∴ ∠EAF = ∠BAC = 126°

AB is a diameter of a circle with centre O. CD is a chord equal to the radius of the circle. AC and BD are produced to meet at P. Then the measure of ∠APB is:    (SSC CGL 2nd Sit. 2012)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 10


Here, in this circle, AO = OB = CO = OD = radius
From question,
CD = CO = OD
∴ ΔOCD is an equilateral triangle.
∴ ∠OCD = ∠ODC = ∠COD = 60°
Now, consider the cyclic quadrileteral ABCD,
∠CAB + ∠BDC = ∠ACD + ∠ABC = 180° ...(i)
Let ∠ACO = x and ∠BDO = y.
then, in ∠AOC, CO = AO = radius
∴ ∠OAC = ∠ACO = x
Similarly in ΔBOD, ∠ODB = ∠BDO = y
Putting these values in equation (i)
∠CAB + ∠BDC = 180°
∠CAB + ∠BDO + ∠ODC = 180°
x + y + 60° = 180°
∴ x + y = 120° ...(ii)
Now, in ΔCPD,
∠PCD = 180° – ∠ACD = 180° – (x + 60°)
and ∠PDC = 180° – ∠BDC = 180° – (y + 60°)
Sum of angles in ΔCPD = 180°
∴ ∠PCD + ∠CPD + ∠PDC = 180°
180° – (x + 60°) + ∠CPD + 180° – (y + 60°) = 180°
60° – (x + y) + ∠CPD = 0
60° – 120° + ∠CPD = 0
∴ ∠CPD = 60°
Hence, ∠APB = 60°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 11

The length of the common chord of two circles of radii 15 cm and 20 cm whose centres are 25 cm apart is (in cm):    (SSC CGL 2nd Sit. 2012)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 11


Let two circles with centre A and B intersect each other such at points C and E such that CE is its common chord.
As A and B are the centre of the circles So, line AB divides chord CE at point D in two equal parts such that CD = DE and also, AB ⊥ CE
Now, Consider ΔACD and ΔBCD,
AC = 20 cm, BC = 15 cm (given)
Let, CD = x cm
and AD = y cm then BD = (25 – y) cm.
From ΔADC, (AC)2 = (AD)2 + (CD)2
(20)2 = y2 + x2 ...(i)
From ΔBDC, (BC)2 = (BD)2 + (CD)2
(15)2 = (25 – y)2 + x2 ...(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we have
(20)2 – (15)2 = y2 – (25 – y)2
(20 + 15) (20 – 15) = (y – 25 + y) (y + 25 – y)
35 × 5 = 25 (2y – 25)
2y = 7 + 25 = 32
y = 16
Again, from equation (i),
(20)2 = (16)2 + x2
∴ x2 = (20)2 – (16)2
= 400 – 256 = 144
CD = x = 12 cm.
Common chord CE = 2 × CD = 2 × 12 = 24 cm

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 15

If G is the centroid of ΔABC and AG = BC, then ∠BGC is:   (SSC CGL 2nd Sit. 2012)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 15


In ΔABC
Given AG = BC  

i.e., GD = BD = DC
In ΔBGD
BD = DG ∴ ∠GBD = ∠DGB …(i)
In ΔCGD
GD = DC, ∴ ∠GCD = ∠DGC …(ii)
∠GBD + ∠DGB + ∠DGC + ∠DCG = 180
2(∠BGD + ∠CGD) = 180 

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 16

In ΔABC, AD is the median and AD = 1/2 BC. If ∠BAD = 30°, then measure of ∠ACB is   (SSC CGL 1st Sit. 2012)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 18


BD = DC = AD
∠BAD = 30° {given}
In ΔABD,
∴ ∠ABD = ∠BAD = 30°
∴ ∠ADB = 180° – 2 × 30° = 120°
∴ ∠ADC = 180° – 120° = 60°
∴ AD = DC
⇒ ∠DAC = ∠ACD = 60°

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 23


In right Δs OAP and OPB,
AP = PB, OA = OB
OP = OP
∴ ΔOAP ≌ ΔOBP
∴ ∠AOP = ∠POB and ∠APO = ∠OPB
From ΔAOP,
∠APO = 180° – 90° – 60° = 30°
∴ ∠APB = 2 × 30 = 60°

SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 27

A, O, B are three points on a line segment and C is a point not lying on AOB. If ∠AOC = 40° and OX, OY are the internal and external bisectors of ∠AOC respectively, then ∠BOY is    (SSC CGL 1st Sit. 2012)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 6 - Question 27


OX is the bisector of ∠AOC.
∴ ∠AOC = 2 ∠COX
OY is the bisector of ∠BOC.
∴ ∠BOC = 2 ∠COY
∴ ∠AOC + ∠BOC
= 2∠COY + 2∠COX = 180°
⇒ 2 (∠COX + ∠YOC) = 180°
⇒ ∠XOY = 90°
∴ ∠AOX + ∠XOY + ∠BOY = 180°
∴ ∠BOY = 180° – 90° – 20° = 70°
