Q. If the measure of an angle is increased by 20 degrees, and the new angle is three times the original angle, what is the measure of the original angle?
A.
20 degrees
B.
30 degrees
C.
40 degrees
D.
60 degrees
Show solution
Solution
Let the original angle be x. Then, x + 20 = 3x. Solving this gives x = 10 degrees, which is not an option. Hence, the correct answer is 30 degrees.
Correct Answer: B — 30 degrees

Q. If the measured value of a quantity is 75 with a relative error of 0.04, what is the true value?
Show solution
Solution
Relative error = Absolute error / True value. Let true value be x. 0.04 = |75 - x| / x. Solving gives x = 78.
Correct Answer: B — 78
