In a circle with centre O, an arc ABC subtends an angle of 110° at the centre of the circle. The chord AB is produced to a point P. Then ∠CBP is equal to:       (SSC CGL-2018)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 3


Here, OA = OB (radius of the circle).
∴ ∠OAB = ∠OBA
In ΔOAB,

∠C = 180° – 55° = 125°
∠CBP = 180° - 125° = 55°

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 6


From circle properties
PT2 = PA ´ PB
(5)2 = 4 x (x + 4)
x + 4 = (25/4) = 6.25
x = 6.25 – 4 = 2.25 cm

In a circle with centre O, AB is the diameter and CD is a chord such that ABCD is a trapezium. If ∠BAC = 40°, then ∠CAD is equal to:       (SSC CGL-2018)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 8


As AB is a diameter.
∠ACB = ∠ADB = 90°
In Δ ABC, ∠BCA = 90°
∠BAC = 40°
∴ ∠ABC = 180° – 90° – 40° = 50°
and ABCD is cyclic trapezium
so, ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
∴ ∠ADC = 180° – ∠ABC
= 180° – 50° = 130°
and ∠DCA = ∠BAC = 40° {∵ AB || CD}.
Now, In ΔACD, ∠CAD = 180°– (∠ADC + ∠ACD)
= 180° – (130° + 40°) = 10°

The side BC of a right-angled triangle ABC (∠ABC = 90º) is divided into four equal parts at P, Q and R respectively. If AP2 + AQ2 + AR2 = 3b2 + 17na2, then n is equal to :       (SSC CHSL-2018)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 10


In ΔABC, AB = c, BC = a, and AC= b.
and BP = PQ = QR = RC = a/4.

from (i) + (ii) + (iii)


Again from ΔABC, b2 = c2 + a2
c2 = b2 – a2
∴ AP2 + AQ2 + AR2 = 3 (b2 – a2) + 7a2/8


Hence, n = - (1/8).

A and B are two points on a circle with centre O. AT is a tangent, such that ∠BAT = 45º. N is a point on OA, such that BN = 10 cm. The length of the median OM of the Δ NOB is :       (SSC CHSL-2018)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 11


As AT is a tangent ∴∠ OAT = 90°
Again ∠ BAT = 45°
∴ ∠ OAB = 90° – 45° = 45°
In Δ AOB, OA = OB,
∴ ∠ OAB = ∠ OBA = 45° then ∠ NOB= 180° – 45° – 45° = 90° and Δ BON is also a right angle triangle.
Now, OM is a median of ΔBON,
∴ OM divide BN in two equal part
∴ BM = OM = 5 cm

PA and PB are two tangents from a point P outside a circle with centre O. If A and B are points on the circle such that ∠APB = 80°, then ∠OAB is equal to:       (SSC Sub. Ins. 2018)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 13


∠PAO = 90°
and ∠OPA = 80°/2 = 40°
In Δ AOP, ∠AOP + ∠APO + ∠PAO = 180°
∠AOP + 40° + 90° = 180°
∴∠AOP = 180° – 130° = 50°

ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral such that AB is the diameter of the circle circumscribing it and ∠ADC = 145°. What is the measure of ∠BAC?        (SSC Sub. Ins. 2018)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 14


As ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠B + ∠D = 180°
∠B + 145° = 180°
∠B = 180° – 145° = 35°
Again as AB is a diameter.
∴ ∠ACB = 90°
Now, In ΔACB, ∠ BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°
∠BAC + 35° + 90° = 180°
∠BAC = 180° – 90° – 35° = 55°.

In the given figure , BD passes through centr e O, AB = 12 and AC = 8. What is the radius of the circle?       (SSC Sub. Ins. 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 17


According to question,
AB = 12
AC = 8
AD = 8 + x
As, we know that
(AB)2 = AC × AD
(12)2 = 8 × (8 + x)
∴
ΔABD is a right angle because ∠B = 90°
By Pythagorean theorem,
BD2 + AB2 = AD2
BD2 + AB2 = AD2
BD2 = (18)2 – (12)2 {Here AD = 8 + 10 = 18 cm}
= 324 – 144 = 180
∴ BD = 6√5 cm
∴ Radius =

In the given figure, area of isosceles triangle PQT is 128 cm2 and QT = PQ and PQ = 4 PS, PT || SR, then what is the area (in cm2) of the quadrilateral PTRS?        (SSC Sub. Ins. 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 18


From question, PT = TQ = x (Let)

Again, 
As PQ || RS and PS || QR (By symmetry)
∴ PQRS is a parallelogram with base (b) = 4 cm height (h) = PT = 16 cm
Area = b × h = 4 × 16 = 64 cm2

According to question,
DE = 15, EF = ?
∠DFE = 60°
∠DEF = 90°

In the given figure, O is the centre of the circle, ∠DAB = 110°and ∠BEC = 100°. What is the value (in degrees) of ∠OCB?            (SSC Sub. Ins. 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 1 - Question 20


∠BEC = 100° (given)
Quadrilateral BECF are cyclic
So, ∠BEC + ∠BFC = 180°
100° + ∠BFC = 180°
⇒ ∠BFC = 180° – 100° = 80°
Now, ∠BOC = 2 × ∠BFC (Angle made by the same chord at the center)
= 2 × 80° = 160°
In ΔOBC, OB = OC (radius)
∴ ∠OBC = ∠OCB
Now, ∠BOC + ∠OBC + ∠OCB = 180°
160° + 2∠OCB = 180°
