SSC CGL Quantitative Aptitude Questions – Important Geometry Questions
Q1) In a Δ ABC, if D and E are the points on the sides AB and AC respectively such that DE || BC and if AD = x , DB = x – 2 , AE = x + 2 and EC = x – 1. then find the value of x.
A. 5
B. 4
C. 3
D. 2
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Since DE || BC
Therefore, AD/DB = AE/EC
⇒ x/x-2 = x+2/x-1
⇒ x2 – x = x2 – 4
⇒ x(x –1) = (x +2)(x –2)
⇒ x = 4
Hence, option B is correct.
Q2) In ΔABC, AB = AC, ∠B = 70°, ∠BAD = 80°, ∠ADE = ?
Explanation:
∠B = ∠ACB = 70°
∠ADE = ∠CAD + ∠ACD = 40° + 110° = 150°
Hence, option A is correct.

SSC CGL Quantitative Aptitude Questions – Important Trigonometry Questions
Q1) If cosΘ = – 1/2 and π < Θ < 3π, find the value of 4 tan2Θ – 3 cosec2Θ
A. 12
B. 8
C. 4
D. 2
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
We know that
sinΘ = ± 1 – cos2
or, sinΘ = 1-1/4 = 3/2
Since Θ lies in the third quadrant, the value of sinΘ is negative.
or, cosecΘ = -2/3
and tanΘ= sinΘ/cosΘ = 3
Since Θ lies in the third quadrant, the value of tanΘ is positive.]
Now, 4 tan2Θ – 3 cosec2Θ = 4 × 3 – 3 × 4/3 = 8
Q2) If 8 sin x = 4 + cos x, the values of sin x are :
A. 3/5, -5/13
B. -3/5, 5/13
C. -3/5, -5/13
D. 3/5, 5/13
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation: 8 sin x – 4 = cos x ⇒ 8 sin x – 4 = 1- sin2 x
⇒ sin x = 3/5 or sin x = 5/13
⇒ 1 – sin2 x = (8 sin x – 4)2
⇒ 1 – sin2 x = 64 sin2 x + 16 – 64 sin x
⇒ 65 sin2 x – 64 sin x + 15 = 0
⇒ 65 sin2 x – 39 sin x – 25 sin x + 15 = 0
⇒ 13 sin x (5 sin x – 3) – 5 (5 sin x – 3) = 0
⇒ (5 sin x – 3) (13 sin x – 5) =0
therefore, sin x = 3/5 or 5/13
