Question : In a $\triangle$ ABC, BC is extended to D and $\angle$ ACD = $120^{\circ}$. $\angle$ B = $\frac{1}{2}\angle$ A. Then $\angle$ A is:

Option 1: $60^{\circ}$

Option 2: $75^{\circ}$

Option 3: $80^{\circ}$

Option 4: $90^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $80^{\circ}$


Solution :
$\angle$ ACD = $120^{\circ}$
⇒ $\angle$ B = $\frac{1}{2}\angle$ A
⇒ $\angle$ACD = $\angle$A + $\angle$B
⇒ $120^{\circ}$ = $\angle$A + $\frac{1}{2}\angle$ A = $\frac{3}{2}\angle$ A
⇒ $\angle$A = $\frac{120×2}{3}$ = $80^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $80^{\circ}$.

Question : If the complement of an angle is one-fourth of its supplementary angle, then the angle is:

Option 1: 60°

Option 2: 30°

Option 3: 90°

Option 4: 120°

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 60°


Solution :

Let $x$ be the angle.
The complement of the angle is $(90°-x)$.
The supplement of the angle is $(180°-x)$.
According to the question,
$(90-x)=\frac{1}{4}(180-x)$
⇒ $360-4x=180-x$
⇒ $3x=180$
$\therefore x = 60°$
Hence, the correct answer is 60°.

Question : If $(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)=0$, then the value of $\sin\;(\pi-\theta)+\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)$ is:

Option 1: $1$

Option 2: $0$

Option 3: $\sqrt{3}$

Option 4: $\sqrt{2}$

Team Careers360 9th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $\sqrt{2}$


Solution : $(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)=0$
$⇒\sin \theta=\cos \theta$
$⇒\frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta}=1$
$⇒\tan\theta=1=\tan45°$
$\therefore \theta = 45°$
$\sin\;(\pi-\theta)+\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}-\theta\right)$
$=\sin\;(180°-45°)+\sin (90°-45°)$
$= \sin135°+\cos 45°$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ [$\because \sin 135°=\sin(90°+45°)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$]
$ = \sqrt{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $ \sqrt{2}$.
