The four corners of a quadrilateral PQRS, taken in that order, all lie on one circle. The angles at P and at Q are in the ratio 2 : 3, and the angle at R measures 100°. What is the size of the angle at Q?

  • A60°
  • B108°
  • C120°
  • D80°

Step-by-Step Solution

The angles at and R sit at opposite corners, so they are supplementary: ∠° − 100° = 80°. The ratio ∠ : ∠ : 3 then gives ∠°. Everything checks: ∠° − 120° = 60°, and 80 + 120 + 100 + 60 = 360°. The trap 60° answers ∠, the angle opposite ∠; 80° answers ∠; and 108° comes from splitting 180° in the ratio 2 : 3, which wrongly treats the ADJACENT angles and as the supplementary pair — it is the opposite corners that add to 180°.
Answer: C) 120°
