  • A
    115º
  • B
    125º
  • C
    110º
  • D
    65º
Answer
  1. 115º
    Solution:
    We have,
    $\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOD}$ [Vertically-Opposite Angles]
    $\therefore\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOD}=130^\circ$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{AOC}=130^\circ [\therefore\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOD}]$
    $\Rightarrow2\angle\text{AOC}=130^\circ$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOC}=65^\circ$
    Now,
    $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{AOD}=180^\circ$ [$\because$ COD is a straight line]
    $\Rightarrow65^\circ+\angle\text{AOD}=180^\circ$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOC}=115^\circ.$

  • B

  • C
    63
  • D
Answer
  1. 54
    Solution:
    AOB is a straight line.
    $\therefore$ xº + yº 90º = 180º
    ⇒ x + y = 90 .....(i)
    Since the angles around a point sum up to 360º,
    ⇒ xº + 90º + yº + 72º + 3xº = 360º
    ⇒ 4x + y = 198 .....(ii)
    Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
    3x = 108 ⇒ x = 36º
    Substituting in (i), we get
    y = 54º

    The complement of (90º - a) is:
    • A
    • B
      -aº
    • C
      90º + a
    • D
      90º - a
    Answer

    1. Solution:
      Two angles, whose sum is 90º, are called the complementary angle.
      Let x is a complimentary angle of (90º - a)
      x + (90º - a) = 90º
      x = 90º - (90º - a)
      x = 90º - 90º + a
      x = aº.

    • A
      88º
    • B
      72º
    • C
      80º
    • D
      90º
    Answer
    1. 80º
      Solution:
      We know that two angles, whose sum is 90º, are called the complementary angle.
      Let one angle be x then its complementary angle be 8x,
      x + 8x = 90º
      9x = 90º
      x = 10º
      Its complementary angle is 8 × 10 = 80º.

    An exterior angle of a triangle is $80^\circ$ and the interior opposite angles are in the ratio 1 : 3. Measure of each interior opposite angle is:
    • A
      20º, 60º
    • B
      40º, 120º
    • C
      30º, 90º
    • D
      30º, 60º3
    Answer
    1. 20º, 60º
      Solution:
      Let the common ratio is x
      The ratio of interior angles are 1 : 3
      So angles are x and 3x
      x + 3x = 80
      4x = 80
      $\text{x}=\frac{80}{4}$
      x = 20
      So angles are 20º and 60º.

      Solution:
      In$\triangle\text{ABC}$
      $\text{2x}+\text{2y}+\angle\text{A}=180^\circ$ (Angle sum property)
      $\text{x}+\text{y}+(\frac{\angle\text{A}}{2})=90^\circ$
      $\text{x}+\text{y}=90^\circ-(\frac{\text{A}}{2})$(1)
      In$\triangle\text{BOC},$ we have
      $\text{x}+\text{y}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$
      $90^\circ- (\frac{\angle\text{A}}{2})+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$ [From (1)]
      $\text{BOC}=180^\circ-90^\circ+(\frac{\text{A}}{2})$
      $\angle\text{BOC}=90^\circ+(\frac{\text{A}}{2})$
      $\angle\text{BOC}=90^\circ+25^\circ=115^\circ.$

    A, B, C are the three angles of a triangle. If A - B = 15º and B - C = 30º, then angles A, B, C are respectively:
    • A
      80º, 65º, 35º
    • B
      65º, 80º, 35º
    • C
      80º, 35º, 65º
    • D
      35º, 65º, 80º
    Answer
    1. 80º, 65º, 35º
      Solution:
      Since ABC is a triangle
      A + B + C = 180º (Angle sum property) (i)
      A - B = 15º
      A = 15º + B (ii)
      B - C = 30º
      C = B - 30º (iii)
      From (i) equation
      15º + B + B + B - 30º = 180º
      B = 65º
      From equation (ii) and (iii)
      A = 15º + B = 15º + 65º = 80º
      C = B - 30º = 65º - 30º = 35º.

    Write the correct answer in the following:
    The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 5 : 3 : 7 The triangle is.
    • A
      An acute angled triangle.
    • B
      An obtuse angled triangle.
    • C
      A right triangle.
    • D
      An isosceles triangle.
    Answer
    1. An acute angled triangle.
      Solution:
      Let the angles of the triangle be 5x, 3x and 7x.
      As the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180° then
      5x + 3x + 7x = 180°
      ⇒ 15x = 180° ⇒ x = 180° ÷ 15 = 12°
      Therefore, the angle of the triangle are:
      5 × 12°, 3 × 12° and 7 × 12°, i.e., 60°, 36° and 84°
      As the measure of each angle of the triangle is less than 90°, so the angles of triangle are acute angles.
      Therefore, the triangle is an acute angled triangle.
      Hence, (a) is the correct answer.

    An exterior angle of a triangle is 110º and its two interior opposite angles are equal. Each of these equal angles is:
    • A
      $70^\circ$
    • B
      $55^\circ$
    • C
      $35^\circ$
    • D
      $27\frac{1^\circ}{2}$
    Answer
    1. $55^\circ$
      Solution:
      Let each interior opposite angle be x.
      Then, x + x = 110° (Exterior angle property of a triangle)
      ⇒ 2x = 110°
      ⇒ x = 55°

    The angles of a triangle are in the ration 3 : 5 : 7. The triangle is:
    • A
      Acute-angled.
    • B
      Obtuse-angled.
    • C
      Right-angled.
    • D
      An isosceles triangle.
    Answer
    1. Acute-angled.
      Solution:
      Let the angles measure (3x)º, (5x)º and (7x)º.
      Then,
      3x + 5x + 7x = 180º
      ⇒ 15x = 180º
      ⇒ x = 12º
      Therefore, the angles are 3(12)º = 36º, 5(12)º = 60º and 7(12)º = 84º.
      Hence, the triangle is acute-angled.
