MCQ
The angle which is one - fifth of its complement is:
  • $15^\circ$
  • B
    $30^\circ$
  • C
    $45^\circ$
  • D
    $60^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$15^\circ$
We need to find out Angle which is $\frac{1}{5}$ of its complement is:
Let, the angle be $x$
$\therefore$ Its complement is $(90 - x)$ According to the question,
$\text{x}=\frac{1}{5}\times(90-\text{x})\text{x}=18-\frac{\text{x}}{5}$
​Now, $\text{x}+\frac{\text{x}}{5}=18$
$\therefore\frac{5\text{x}+\text{x}}{5}=18$
or $\frac{6\text{x}}{5}=18$
or $6\text{x}=90$
$\therefore\text{x}=15^\circ$
