  1. PQRST is a cyclic pentagon and PT is a diameter, then ∠PQR + ∠RST is equal to
    1. 180°
    2. 270°
    3. 216°
    4. 144°
Correct Option: B

As per the given in question , we draw a figure cyclic pentagon PQRST

Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = (2n – 4) × 90°
Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = (2 × 5 – 4) × 90° = 540°
If PQ = QR = RS = ST

∴ ∠POQ = ∠QOR = ∠ROS = ∠SOT =
180°
= 45°
4

∴ OP = OQ = OR = OS = OT = radii
∴ ∠OPQ =
180° - 45°
=
135°
22

∴ ∠PQR + ∠RST = 4 ×
135°
= 270°
