MCQ
Two supplementary angles differ by $34^\circ .$ Then the angles are __________.
  • A
    $74^\circ , 107^\circ$
  • $107^\circ , 73^\circ $
  • C
    $120^\circ , 60^\circ $
  • D
    $72^\circ , 108^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$107^\circ , 73^\circ $
 Let two supplementary angles are $x$ and $y$
We know, $x + y = 180^\circ ....(1)$
As given in the question $x - y = 34^\circ $
$\Rightarrow x = 34 + y .....(2)$
Putting the value of $x$ in terms of $y$ in the eqn $(1)$
we get $34 + y + y = 180$
$\Rightarrow 2y = 146$
$\Rightarrow y = 73^\circ $ And $x = 34 + y = 34 + 73 = 107^\circ $
Therefore, the angles are $107^\circ $ and $73^\circ $
