Question : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. The tangents to the circle at the points A and C on it, intersect at P. If $\angle\mathrm{ABC}=98^{\circ}$, then what is the measure of $\angle \mathrm{APC}$ ?
Option 1: 22°
Option 2: 26°
Option 3: 16°
Option 4: 14°
Correct Answer: 16°
Solution : $\angle$ABC = 98º $\angle$ABC + $\angle$CDA = 180º (Property of cyclic quadrilateral) ⇒ $\angle$CDA = 180º – 98º = 82º So, $\angle$AOC = 2 × $\angle$ADC (the angle at the centre is double that on the circumference by the same arc) = 2 × 82º
Question : A is 20% more efficient than B. If B alone can complete a piece of work in 12 days, then A alone can complete the same work in how many days?

Option 4: 16
Correct Answer: 10
Solution : Let B be 100% efficient. Then A will be 120% efficient. Now, 100% efficient can do work in 12 days, 1% efficient will do work in $12 \times 100$ days. $\therefore$ 120% efficient can do work in $\frac{12 \times 100}{120}$ = 10 days Hence, the
