ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. AB and DC are produced to meet at P. AD and BC are produced to meet at Q.

If ∠AQB=2x∘\angle AQB=2x^\circ, ∠QAB=3x∘\angle QAB=3x^\circ and ∠BPC=x∘\angle BPC=x^\circ, then what is the value of xx?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Let the minor arcs AB,BC,CD,DAAB,BC,CD,DA be a,b,c,da,b,c,d degrees respectively.

Using the inscribed-angle theorem and the external-secant angle theorem:

Given angleArc relation
∠QAB=3x\angle QAB=3xb+c=6xb+c=6x
∠AQB=2x\angle AQB=2xa−c=4xa-c=4x
∠BPC=x\angle BPC=xd−b=2xd-b=2x

From the relations, a=c+4xa=c+4x and d=b+2xd=b+2x.

The four arcs total 360∘360^\circ:

a+b+c+d=(c+4x)+b+c+(b+2x)=2(b+c)+6xa+b+c+d=(c+4x)+b+c+(b+2x)=2(b+c)+6x

Using b+c=6xb+c=6x:

360=12x+6x=18x360=12x+6x=18x

x=20x=20.
