Question:
In the given figure, AB || CD. If ∠APQ = 70° and ∠PRD = 120°, then ∠QPR = ?
(a) 50°
(b) 60°
(c) 40°
(d) 35°
Solution:
(a) 50°
$A B \| C D$ and $P Q$ is the transversal.
$\therefore \angle P Q R=\angle A P Q=70^{\circ} \quad$ [Alternate Interior Angles]
Side QR of traingle PQR is produced to D.
$\therefore \angle P Q R+\angle Q P R=\angle P R D$
$\Rightarrow 70^{\circ}+\angle Q P R=120^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow \angle Q P R=50^{\circ}$
