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°

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°

In the given figure, ABC is a triangle in which, AB = 10 cm, AC = 6 cm and altitude AE = 4 cm. If AD is the diameter of the circum-circle, then what is the length (in cm) of circumradius?        (SSC CGL 2017)

Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 3


From question AB = 10 cm, AC = 6 cm and AE = 4 cm
Now, Area of ΔABC = (1/2) x AE x BC
= (1/2) x 4 x BC
= 2 x BC
By formula, circum radius R =

In the given figure, a smaller circle touches a larger circle at P and passes through its centre O. PR is a chord of length 34 cm, then what is the length (in cm) of PS?        (SSC CGL 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 4

∠PSO is a right angle (angle of semicircle)

Again when OS is perpendicular on chord PR and OS passes through the centre of circle PQR, then it must bisect the chord PR at S.
∴ PS = RS = 17 cm.

A chord of length 60 cm is at a distance of 16 cm from the centre of a circle. What is the radius (in cm) of the circle?       (SSC CGL 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 5

According to question,
AC = 30 cm
OC = 16 cm
From DACO,
AO2 = OC2 + AC2
∴ 

∴ radius of circle AO = 34 cm.

In ΔABC, ∠BAC = 90° an d AD is drawn perpendicular to BC. If BD = 7 cm and CD = 28 cm, then what is the length (in cm) of AD?        (SSC CGL 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 6

In DABC
∵ ∠BAC = 90°
∵ (AD)2 = BD × DC

∴ 
∴ AD = 14 cm.

If there are four lines in a plane, then what cannot be the number of points of intersection of these lines?       (SSC CGL 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 7

To get a point of intersection, two lines must passes through each other.
Maximum number of point of intersection made by 4 st lines = Number of ways of selecting 2 lines out of 4 lines

Hence, we can't get more than 6 point of intersections from 4st. lines.

In triangle PQR, A is the point of intersection of all the altitudes and B is the point of intersection of all the angle bisectors of the triangle. If ∠PBR = 105°, then what is the value of ∠PAR (in degrees)?       (SSC CGL 2017)
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°

PQR is a right angled triangle in which ∠R = 90°. If  RS ⊥ PQ, PR = 3 cm and RQ = 4 cm, then what is the value of RS (in cm)?      (SSC CGL 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 9

From question,
PR = 3 cm and
RQ = 4 cm
then,


Now, ar (ΔPQR) = 

∴ RS = 12/5 cm.

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

In the given figure, ABC is a triangle. The bisectors of internal ∠B and external ∠C intersect at D. If ∠BDC = 48°, then what is the value (in degrees) of ∠A?       (SSC CGL 2017)
Detailed Solution for SSC CGL Previous Year Questions: Geometry- 2 - Question 12

From ΔBCD, x = y + 48°
2x = 24 + 96° ...(i)
From ΔABC,
2x = 2y + ∠CAB ...(ii)
from (i) and (ii)
∠CAB = 96°

If length of each side of a rhombus PQRS is 8 cm and ∠PQR = 120°, then what is the length (in cm) of QS?        (SSC CGL 2017)
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

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

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°

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°.
