MCQ
In the figure, $AB \| CD$. If $\angle\text{APQ}=70 ^\circ$ and $\angle\text{PRD}=120^\circ$ then $\angle\text{QPR}=?$
  • $55^\circ$
  • B
    $60^\circ$
  • C
    $40^\circ$
  • D
    $35^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$55^\circ$

Since $AB \| CD,$
$\angle\text{APQ}=\angle\text{PQR}=70^\circ$ (Alternate angles)
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{PRD}=\angle\text{PQR}+\angle\text{QPR}$ (Exterior angle is equal to sum of the remote interior angles)
$\Rightarrow120^\circ=70^\circ+\angle\text{QPR}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{QPR}=506^\circ$
