  1. In fig., AB || CD, ∠a is equal to:


    1. 93°
    2. 103°
    3. 83°
    4. 97°
    5. None of these
Correct Option: A

CD || AB (Given)
Produce RQ to meet AB in S
∠CRS = ∠PSR (at. int. ∠s)
But ∠CRS = 55°
∴ ∠PSR = 55°
Now in QSP
∠QSP + ∠QPS + ∠PQS = 180°
55° + 38° + ∠SQP = 180°
∴ ∠SQP = 180° – 93° = 87°
But angle a and ∠PQS are linear
∠a = 180° – 87°
∠a = 93°
