Option 2: 15

Option 3: 18

Option 4: 21

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 15

Question : If in a $\triangle ABC$, as drawn in the figure, $AB = AC$ and $\angle ACD = 120^{\circ}$, then angle A is equal to:

Option 1: $50^{\circ}$

Option 2: $60^{\circ}$

Option 3: $70^{\circ}$

Option 4: $80^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$


Solution :
Given that $AB = AC$ in $\triangle ABC$.
This is an isosceles triangle, such that $\angle BAC = \angle ABC$.
We have, $\angle ACD = 120^\circ$
$\therefore \angle ACB = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$
Since the sum of angles in a triangle is $180^\circ$.

Question : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, AB is the diameter of the circle. If angle $\angle ACD=45^{\circ}$, then what is the value of $\angle BAD$?

Option 1: $90^{\circ}$

Option 2: $45^{\circ}$

Option 3: $135^{\circ}$

Option 4: $35^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $45^{\circ}$


Solution :

Since, an angle subtended by the diameter of a circle at the circumference = $90^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle$ ACB = $90^{\circ}$
$\angle$ BCD = $\angle$ ACD + $\angle$ ACB = $45^{\circ} + 90^{\circ}=135^{\circ}$
Since the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary,
$\angle$ BCD +
