Question
How many pairs of adjacent angles are formed when two lines intersect in a point?
✓
Answer
Let us draw the following diagram showing two lines $AB$ and $CD$ intersecting at a point $O$.
We have the following pair of adjacent angles,
so formed: $\angle\text{AOC}$ and $\angle\text{BOC}$
$\angle\text{AOC}$ and $\angle\text{AOD}$
$\angle\text{BOD}$ and $\angle\text{BOC}$
$\angle\text{BOD}$ and $\angle\text{AOD}$
Hence, in total four pair of adjacent angles are formed.

→(Street Plan): A city has two main roads which cross each other at the centre of the city. These two roads are along the North-South direction and East-West direction. All the other streets of the city run parallel to these roads and are $200 \ m$ apart. There are $5$ streets in each direction. Using $1\ cm = 200 \ m$, draw a model of the city on your notebook. Represent the roads/streets by single lines. There are many cross- streets in your model. A particular cross-street is made by two streets, one running in the North-South direction and another in the East-West direction. Cross street is referred to in this manner: If the 2nd street running in the North-South direction and 5th in the East-West direction meet at some crossing, then we will call this cross-street $(2, 5)$. Using this convention, find: how many cross - streets can be referred to as $(3, 4).$
