A
86º
B
137º
C
90º
D
94º
Answer
86º Solution: Given, $\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COB}+\angle\text{BOD}=274^\circ\text{ (i)}$ $\angle\text{AOD}+\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COB}+\angle\text{BOD}=360^\circ$(Angles at a point) $\angle\text{AOD}+274^\circ=360^\circ$ $\angle\text{AOD}=86^\circ.$
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

Answer
80º Solution: Suppose $\triangle\text{ABC}$ such that $\angle\text{A}:\angle\text{B}:\angle\text{C} = 2 : 3 : 4$ Let $\angle\text{A}=2\text{k},\angle\text{B}=3\text{k}$ and $\angle\text{C} = 4\text{k}$ where k is some constant In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$ (Angle sum property) ⇒ 2k + 3k + 4k = 180º ⇒ 9k = 180º ⇒ k = 20º.
aº 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.

B
72º
C
80º
D
90º
Answer
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.
55º Solution: Since AB || CD, $\Rightarrow\angle\text{ACE}=\angle\text{BAC}=80^\circ$ In $\triangle\text{CEF},$ $\angle\text{ACE}=\angle\text{CEF}+\angle\text{CFE}$ (Exterior angle is equal to sum of the remote interior angles) $\Rightarrow80^\circ=\angle\text{CEF}+25^\circ$ $\Rightarrow\angle\text{CEF}=55^\circ$
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
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.

C
65º
D
35º
Answer
75º Solution: Let the measure of the required angle be xº Then, the measure of its complement will be (90 − x)º Therefore, x = 5 (90 - x) ⇒ x = 450 - 5x ⇒ 6x = 450 ⇒ x = 75º.

A
25º
B
35º
C
65º
D
75º
Answer
75º Solution: Let the measure of the angle be xº, So, its complement = (90 - x)º According to the given condition, x = 5(90 - x) ⇒ x = 450 - 5x ⇒ 6x = 450 ⇒ x = 75º So, the angle measures 75º.
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:

80º, 65º, 35º
B
65º, 80º, 35º
C
80º, 35º, 65º
D
35º, 65º, 80º
Answer
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
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.
15 Solution: It is given that, AOB is a straight line. $\therefore$ 60º + (5xº + 3xº) = 180º (Linear pair) ⇒ 8xº = 180º - 60º = 120º ⇒ xº = 15º Thus, the value of x is 15.
37º Solution: In $\triangle\text{DBC}$ $\angle\text{BCE}=\angle\text{DBC}+\angle\text{BDC}$ (Exterior angle property) $65^\circ=28^\circ+\angle\text{BDC}$ $\text{BDC}=37^\circ$ As, AB is parallel to CD $\angle\text{ABD}=\angle\text{BDC}=37^\circ$ (Alternate interior angle).
130º Solution: In $\triangle\text{ABC}$ $\angle\text{ABC}+\angle\text{ACB}+\angle\text{BAC}=180^\circ$ (Angle sum property) $\angle\text{ACB}=180^\circ-25^\circ-45^\circ$ $\angle\text{ACB}=110^\circ$ $\angle\text{ACB}+\angle\text{ACD}=180^\circ$ (Linear pair) $\angle\text{ACD}=180^\circ-110^\circ=70^\circ$ In $\triangle\text{CED}$ $\angle\text{AED}+\angle\text{EDC}+\angle\text{EDC}$ (Exterior angle is equal to sum of its two interior opposite angles) $\angle\text{AED}=60^\circ+75^\circ=130^\circ.$
AB and CD are two parallel lines. PQ cuts AB and CD at E and F respectively. EL is the bisector of $\angle\text{FEB}.$ If $\angle\text{LEB}=35^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{CFQ}$ will be:
126º Solution: y : z = 3 : 7 Let common ratio be a y = 3a z = 7a x = z (corresponding angle) x = 7a x + y = 180º (interior angle) 7a + 3a = 180º 10 a = 180º $\text{a}=\frac{180}{10}$ a = 18 x = 7a x = 7 × 18 x = 126º.
x = 53º, y = 37º Solution: In $\triangle\text{QXR}$ $28^\circ+\angle\text{QXR}=\angle\text{QRT}$ (Exterior angle property) $\text{QXR}=65^\circ-28^\circ=37^\circ$ $\text{y}=\angle\text{QSR}=37^\circ$ (Alternate interior angles) In $\triangle\text{PQX}$ $\angle\text{PQX}+\angle\text{QXP}+\angle\text{QPX}=180^\circ$ (Angle sum property) 37º + x + 90º = 180º x = 53º.
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
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.
