Quantitative Aptitude Question on Quadrilaterals
ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle with centre O. If ∠COD = 120 degrees and ∠BAC = 30 degrees, then the value of ∠BCD (in degrees) is
A
90
B
180
C
45
D
30
Answer
90
Explanation
Solution
Given, ∠COD = 120° and ∠BAC = 30°.
As ∠COD = 120°, ∠DAC = 60° (Central angle)
∠DAC + ∠BAC = 60° + 30° = 90°
∠A = 90° ⇒ ∠BCD = 90° (Opposite angles are supplementary in a cyclic quadrilateral).
