    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC

    ∠ROQ = 96°
    In ∆ OQR
    ∠OQR + ∠ORQ + ∠QOR = 180°

    1
    ∠PQR +
    1
    ∠PRQ + 96° = 180°

    1
    (∠PQR + ∠PRQ) = 180° – 96° = 84°

    1
    (∠PQR + ∠PRQ) = 180° – 96° = 84°
    2

    ⇒ ∠PQR + ∠PRQ = 2 × 84° = 168°
    In ∆ PQR,
    ∴ ∠QPR = 180° – ( ∠PQR + ∠PRQ ) = 180° – 168° = 12°


  1. The measures of two angles of a triangle are in the ratio 4 : 5. If the sum of these two measures is equal to the measure of the third angle, find the smallest angle.

    Let Two angles of triangle = 4k and 5k
    According to the question,
    2(4k + 5k) = 180°
    ⇒ 18k = 180°

    ⇒ k =
    180°
    = 10°
    18

    Correct Option: D

    Let Two angles of triangle = 4k and 5k
    According to the question,
    2(4k + 5k) = 180°
    ⇒ 18k = 180°

    ⇒ k =
    180°
    = 10°
    18

    ∴ The smallest angle = 4k = 4 × 10 = 40°



  1. ABC is a triangle and the sides AB, BC and CA are produced to E, F and G respectively. If ∠CBE = ∠ACF = 130° then the value of ∠GAB is

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

    ∠CBE = 130°
    ∴ ∠ABC = 180° – 130° = 50°
    ∠ACF = 130°
    ∴ ∠ACB = 180° – 130° = 50°

    Correct Option: A

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

    ∠CBE = 130°
    ∴ ∠ABC = 180° – 130° = 50°
    ∠ACF = 130°
    ∴ ∠ACB = 180° – 130° = 50°
    ∴ ∠BAC = 180° – 50° – 50° = 80°
    ∴ ∠GAB = 180° – 80° = 100°

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

    BO, CO and AO are internal bisectors of ∠B, ∠C and ∠A respectively.
    Here , ∠BOC = 120°

    ∴ ∠BOC = 90° +
    ∠A

    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC

    ∠BAC < ∠CBA
    ∠CDA = ∠CDB = 90°; ∠C1 > ∠C2
    ∠A + ∠C1 = 90°
    ∠B + ∠C2 = 90°
    ∴ ∠A + ∠C1 = ∠B + ∠C2

    Correct Option: C

    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC

    ∠BAC < ∠CBA
    ∠CDA = ∠CDB = 90°; ∠C1 > ∠C2
    ∠A + ∠C1 = 90°
    ∠B + ∠C2 = 90°
    ∴ ∠A + ∠C1 = ∠B + ∠C2
    ∴ ∠B – ∠A = ∠C1 – ∠C2
