(1) S1 takes seat C4 , C5 or C6 .
(2) S1 takes seat C2 and then S2 takes seat C4 , C5 or C6 .
(3) S1 takes seat C2 , S2 takes C1 and S3 takes C4 , C5 or C6 .
(4) S1 takes seat C3 , S2 takes C3 and S3 takes C4 , C5 or C5 .

(87) Answer : 12.00

Solution:

Let ∠ACM = ∠BCN = θ and BN = x, So MN = 21 – x

Unit Test for First Step (Group-1)-2025_T06 (Code A)

From the relation BI2 = BX.BA, we see that BI is

A
a tangent to the circle passing through A, X, I at I. Hence, ∠BIX = ∠BAI = 2

Similarly, ∠CIY = ∠CAI = 2

Also, ∠BIC = 90° +

(89) Answer : 20.00
Solution:

∠CBD = ∠ABC – ∠ABD

Since, AB = AD
⇒ ∠ABD = ∠ADB
⇒ ∠CBD = ∠ABC – ∠ADB …(i)
∠ADB = ∠ACB + ∠CBD …(ii)
Substituting (ii) in (i), we get
∠CBD = ∠ABC – ∠ACB – ∠CBD
⇒ ∠CBD = 40° [∵ ∠ABC – ∠ACB = 40°]
⇒ ∠CBD = 20°
