Multiple choice mathematics and statistics angle and its measurement directed angles

In a $\Delta$PQR, if $\angle P - \angle Q = 42^{\circ}$ and $\angle Q - \angle R = 21^{\circ}$, find $\angle P, \angle Q$ and $\angle R$.

  1. $\angle P = 105^{\circ} \angle Q = 53^{\circ} \angle R = 32^{\circ}$
  2. $\angle P = 25^{\circ} \angle Q = 53^{\circ} \angle R = 32^{\circ}$
  3. $\angle P = 95^{\circ} \angle Q = 53^{\circ} \angle R = 32^{\circ}$
  4. $\angle P = 75^{\circ} \angle Q = 53^{\circ} \angle R = 32^{\circ}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Given,
$\angle P - \angle Q = 42$ (I)
$\angle Q - \angle R = 21$ (II)
Sum of angles = 180
$\angle P + \angle Q + \angle R = 180$ (III)
Add all the three equations:
$2 \angle P + \angle Q = 180 + 42 + 21$
$2 \angle P + \angle Q = 243$ (IV)

Add I and IV,
$2 \angle P + \angle P = 243 + 42$
$3 \angle P = 285$
$\angle P = 95^{\circ}$
From IV, $\angle Q = 243 - 2\times 95$
$\angle Q = 53^{\circ}$
From II,
$\angle R = 53 - 21 = 32^{\circ}$

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data Insufficient

B Correct answer
Explanation

Answer is option B (False)
In any triangle, if one of the sides is produced, then the exterior angle is greater than either of the interior and opposite angles.
Hence the above statement is false

Compare the areas of the right angled triangles ABC and DEF in which $\displaystyle \angle A=30^{\circ},\angle B=90^{\circ},AC=4cm,\angle D=60^{\circ},\angle E=90^{\circ}: : and: : DE=4cm $

  1. $\displaystyle Ar\left ( \Delta ABC \right )> Ar\left ( \Delta DEF \right )$
  2. $\displaystyle Ar\left ( \Delta ABC \right )< Ar\left ( \Delta DEF \right )$
  3. $\displaystyle Ar\left ( \Delta ABC \right )= Ar\left ( \Delta DEF \right )$

If two triangles are congruent, then they are

  1. Symmetrical

  2. Identical

  3. Equilateral

  4. Isosceles
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
Two triangles are congruent but they may not be equilateral or isosceles. (Hence option C and D are wrong)

For two objects to be symmetrical, they must be the same size and shape, with one object having a different orientation from the first.

Identical shapes are the shapes that have exact same shape, size, and position.

Congruent triangles are symmetrical but they may not be identical (as orientation can be different)

Hence option A is correct.

A Correct answer
Explanation

An $angle$ is a combination of two rays (half-lines) with a common endpoint. The latter is known as the vertex of the $angle$ and the rays as the sides, sometimes as the legs and sometimes the arms of the $angle.$

The angle at a point is

  1. $90^\circ$
  2. $180^\circ$
  3. $300^\circ$
  4. $360^\circ$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its centre at the common endpoint of the rays. Hence, the sum of angles at a point is always 360 degrees.

So option D is the correct answer.

The sum of exterior angles of a triangle is

  1. $180^\circ$
  2. $270^\circ$
  3. $360^\circ$
  4. $540^\circ$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The sum of exterior angle of a triangle is $ { 360 } $
the interior angle of a triangle add upto  $ { 180 } $, For any given corner exterior angle is $ { 180 } $ minus interior angle.
So sum of exterior angle is (180-a)+(180-b)+(180-c)=3*180-(a+b+c)=540-180=$360^0$
