MCQ
If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2 : 3, then the greatest of two angles is:
  • A
    36º
  • B
    108º
  • C
    72º
  • D
    54º

Answer

  1. 108º
    Solution:
    Let a and b are two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2 : 3 and we know that If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is supplementary.
    Let common ratio is x,
    a = 2x and b = 3x
    a + b = 180º
    2x + 3x = 180º
    5x = 180º
    $\text{x} = \frac{180^\circ}{5} = 36^\circ$
    x = 36º
    3x = 3 × 36º = 108º.
