In the given figure, angle QRN space equals space 40 degree comma space space angle PQR space equals space 46 degree and MN is a tangent at R. What is the value (in degrees) of x,y and z respectively.

  • 40°, 46°,  94°

  • 40°, 50°,  90°

  • 46°, 54°,  80°

  • 50°, 40°,  90°


A.

40°, 46°,  94°

angle QRN space equals space 40 degree space space left parenthesis given right parenthesis
angle RPQ space equals space angle QRN space left parenthesis Alternate space Segment space Theorem right parenthesis
therefore space angle RPQ space equals space 40 degree
therefore space space space space straight x space equals space 40 degree
Now, In ΔPRQ,
rightwards double arrow space space space angle straight x space plus space angle straight z space plus space 46 degree space equals space 180 degree space left parenthesis Sum space of space all space angles space of space straight a space triangle space is space 180 degree right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow space space space space 40 degree space plus space angle straight z space plus space 46 degree space equals space 180 degree
rightwards double arrow space space space angle straight z space equals space 180 degree space minus space 40 degree space minus space 46 degree space equals space 94 degree

rightwards double arrow space space space angle straight x space plus space angle straight y space plus space angle straight z space equals space 180 degree space space left parenthesis Angles space in space straight a space striaght space line right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow space space space space angle straight y space equals space 180 degree space minus space 40 degree space minus space 94 degree space space equals space 46 degree
