MCQ
Write the correct answer in the following: In Fig. if $\text{OP}||\text{RS},$ $\angle\text{OPQ}=110^\circ$ and $\angle\text{QRS}=130^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{PQR}$ is equal to,
- A$40^\circ$
- B$50^\circ$
- ✓$60^\circ$
- D$70^\circ$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$60^\circ$
In the given figure, producing $OP$, to interscet $RQ$ at $X.$
Since, $\text{OP}||\text{RS}$ and RX is a transversal.
So, $\angle\text{RXP}=\angle\text{XRS}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{RXP}=130^\circ$$\big[\because\angle\text{QRS}=130^\circ(\text{given})\big]....(\text{i})$
Now, $RQ$ is a line segment.
So,$\angle\text{PXQ}+\angle\text{RXP}=180^\circ$ [linear pair axiom]
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{PXQ}=180^\circ-\angle\text{RXP}=180^\circ-130^\circ$ [from eq. $(i)]$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{PXQ}=50^\circ$
In $\Delta\text{PQX},$ $\angle\text{OPQ}$ is an exterior angle,
$\therefore\angle\text{OPQ}=\angle\text{PXQ}+\angle\text{PQX}$
[$\because\ $exterior asngle = sum of two opposite interior angles]
$110^\circ=50^\circ+\angle\text{PQX}$
$\angle\text{PQX}=110^\circ-50^\circ$
$\angle\text{PQR}=60^\circ$ $[\because\ \angle\text{PQX}=\angle\text{PQR}]$
Since, $\text{OP}||\text{RS}$ and RX is a transversal.
So, $\angle\text{RXP}=\angle\text{XRS}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{RXP}=130^\circ$$\big[\because\angle\text{QRS}=130^\circ(\text{given})\big]....(\text{i})$
Now, $RQ$ is a line segment.
So,$\angle\text{PXQ}+\angle\text{RXP}=180^\circ$ [linear pair axiom]
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{PXQ}=180^\circ-\angle\text{RXP}=180^\circ-130^\circ$ [from eq. $(i)]$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{PXQ}=50^\circ$
In $\Delta\text{PQX},$ $\angle\text{OPQ}$ is an exterior angle,
$\therefore\angle\text{OPQ}=\angle\text{PXQ}+\angle\text{PQX}$
[$\because\ $exterior asngle = sum of two opposite interior angles]
$110^\circ=50^\circ+\angle\text{PQX}$
$\angle\text{PQX}=110^\circ-50^\circ$
$\angle\text{PQR}=60^\circ$ $[\because\ \angle\text{PQX}=\angle\text{PQR}]$
