    According to question , we draw a figure of a triangle ABC

    Given , ∠A + ∠B = 145°
    ∠C = 180° – 145° = 35°
    ∠C + 2∠B = 180°
    ⇒ 2∠B = 180° – 35° = 145°

    ⇒ ∠B =
    145°
    2

    Correct Option: D

    ⇒ ∠B =
    145°
    2

    ⇒ 72.5° = ∠A
    ⇒ ∠B > ∠C
    ∴ AC > AB


  1. In a triangle ABC, BC is produced to D so that CD = AC. If ∠BAD = 111° and ∠ACB = 80°, then the measure of ∠ABC is :

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a triangle ABC in which BC is produced to D so that CD = AC

    Given , ∠BAD = 111° and ∠ACB = 80°
    ∴ ∠ACD = 180° – 80° = 100°
    ∠CAD = ∠CDA [CD = AC]

    Correct Option: D

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a triangle ABC in which BC is produced to D so that CD = AC

    Given , ∠BAD = 111° and ∠ACB = 80°
    ∴ ∠ACD = 180° – 80° = 100°
    ∠CAD = ∠CDA [CD = AC]

    ∠CAD =
    80°
    = 40°
    2

    ∠BAC = 111° – 40° = 71°
    ∠ABC = 180° – 71° – 80° = 29°



  1. In the following figure, AB be diameter of a circle whose centre is O. If ∠AOE = 150°, ∠DAO = 51° then the measure of ∠CBE is :

    According to given figure in question ,

    Given , ∠AOE = 150°, ∠DAO = 51°
    ∴ ∠EOB + ∠AOE = 180°
    ∠EOB = 180° – 150° = 30°
    OE = OB

    Correct Option: C

    According to given figure in question ,

    Given , ∠AOE = 150°, ∠DAO = 51°
    ∴ ∠EOB + ∠AOE = 180°
    ∠EOB = 180° – 150° = 30°
    OE = OB
    ∴ ∠OEB = ∠OBE = 150 ÷ 2 = 75°
    ∴ ∠CBE = 180° – 75° = 105°


  1. If O be the circumcentre of a triangle PQR and ∠QOR = 110°, ∠OPR = 25°, then the measure of ∠PRQ is

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a triangle PQR with circumcentre O

    Given , ∠QOR = 110°
    ∠OPR = 25°
    ∴ ∠QPR = 110° ÷ 2 = 55°
    OR = OP
    ∴ ∠OPR = ∠PRO = 25°

    Correct Option: D

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a triangle PQR with circumcentre O

    Given , ∠QOR = 110°
    ∠OPR = 25°
    ∴ ∠QPR = 110° ÷ 2 = 55°
    OR = OP
    ∴ ∠OPR = ∠PRO = 25°
    ∴ ∠OQR = ∠ORQ = 70 ÷ 2 = 35°
    ∴ ∠PRQ = 25° + 35° = 60°



  1. In a triangle ABC, ∠A = 90°, ∠C = 55°, AD x BC. What is the value of ∠BAD ?

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

    Here , ∠A = 90°, ∠C = 55°,
    ∴ ∠B + ∠C = 90°
    ∴ ∠B = 90° – 55° = 35°

    Correct Option: D

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

    Here , ∠A = 90°, ∠C = 55°,
    ∴ ∠B + ∠C = 90°
    ∴ ∠B = 90° – 55° = 35°
    ∠ADB = 90°
    ∴ ∠BAD = 90° – 35° = 55°
