In the figure, PQ||ST, RS||UV. If PQR = 35o and QRS = 65o, find STV

A.

30o

B.

35o

C.

55o

D.

65o

Correct answer is A

Draw XW//PQ and ARW = 35o (alternative angle)

WRS = 60 - 30

= 30o

RSR = 30o (Alternative angle)

STV = 30o (Alternative angle)

In the figure, PQT is isosceles. PQ = QT, SRQ = 35o, TPQ = 20o and PQR is a straight line.Calculate TSR

A.

20o

B.

55o

C.

75o

D.

140o

Correct answer is C

Given isosceles PQ = QT, SRQ = 35o

TPQ = 20o

PQR = is a straight line

Since PQ = QT, angle P = angle T = 20o

Angle PQR = 180o - (20 + 20) = 140o

TQR = 180o - 140o = 40o < on a straight line

QSR = 180o - (40 + 35)o = 105o

TSR = 180o - 105o

= 75o

638.

In the figure, PQRS is a circle. If chords QR and RS are equal, calculate the value of x

A.

80o

B.

60o

C.

45o

D.

40o

Correct answer is D

SRT is a straight line, where QRT = 120

SRQ = 180o - 120o = 60o - (angle on a straight line)

also angle QRS = 180o - 100o (angle on a straight line) . In angles where QR = SR and angle SRQ = 60o

x = 100 - 60 = 40o

639.

PQ and PR are tangents from P to a circle centre O as shown in the figure. If QRP = 34o, find the angle marked x

A.

34o

B.

56o

C.

68o

D.

112o

Correct answer is C

From the circle centre 0, if PQ & PR are tangents from P and QRP = 34o

Then the angle marked x i.e. QOP

34o x 2 = 68o

The figure is a solid with the trapezium PQRS as its uniform cross-section. Find its volume

A.

120m2

B.

576m3

C.

816m3

D.

1056m3

Correct answer is C

Volume of solid = cross section x H

Since the cross section is a trapezium

= 12(6+11)×12×8

= 6 x 17 x 8 = 816m3
