  1. 20°
  2. 30°
  3. 45°
  4. 60°
Answer
  1. 30°
Solution:

From figure,
$\angle\text{DPQ}+\angle\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ\dots(1)$ [linear pair]
Also,
$\angle\text{DPQ}=\angle\text{AQP}$ [Interior opposite angles] 
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{DPQ}=120^\circ+\text{x}$

Question 21 Mark
In figure, which of the following statement must be true? (i) a + b = d + c (ii) a + c + e = 180° (iii) b + f = c + e
  1. (i) only
  2. (ii) only
  3. (iii) only
  4. (ii) and (iii) only
Answer
  1. (ii) and (iii) only
Solution:

From figure, we can see that
$\angle\text{a}^\circ+\angle\text{b}^\circ+\angle\text{c}^\circ=\angle\text{FOC}=180^\circ$
Also,
$\angle\text{b}^\circ=\angle\text{e}^\circ$ [Opposite angles]
So,
$\angle\text{a}^\circ+\angle\text{e}^\circ+\angle\text{c}^\circ=180^\circ$
⇒ (ii) is correct
Now,
$\angle\text{FOB}\neq\angle\text{DOB}$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{a}^\circ+\angle\text{b}^\circ\neq\angle\text{d}^\circ+\angle\text{c}^\circ$
⇒ (i) is correct
Now,
$\angle\text{b}^\circ=\angle\text{e}^\circ$ and $\angle\text{f}^\circ=\angle\text{c}^\circ$ [Opposite angles are equal]
Thus,
$\angle\text{b}^\circ=\angle\text{f}^\circ=\angle\text{e}^\circ+\angle\text{c}^\circ$
⇒ (iii) is correct.

Question 41 Mark
In figure, if line segment AB is parallel to the line segment CD, what is the value of y?
  1. 12
  2. 15
  3. 18
  4. 20
Answer
  1. 20
Solution:

From figure,
$\angle\text{ABD}+\angle\text{EBD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{EBD}=180^\circ-\angle\text{ABD}\dots(1)$
Now,
$\angle\text{ABD}=\text{y}^\circ+2\text{y}^\circ+\text{y}^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{ABD}=4\text{y}^\circ\dots(2)$
Substituting (2) in (1), we have 
$\angle\text{EBD}=180^\circ-4\text{y}^\circ$
Now,
$\angle\text{EBD}=\angle\text{BDC}$ [Alternate angles]
$\Rightarrow\ 180^\circ-4\text{y}^\circ=5\text{y}^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 180^\circ=9\text{y}^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{y}^\circ=20^\circ$

From figure, we can see that $\angle\text{POR}$ and $\angle\text{QOR}$ are two adjacent angles and are supplement.
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{POR}+\angle\text{QOR}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 3\text{x}+2\text{x}+10^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 5\text{x}=170^\circ$

  1. 15°
  2. 25°
  3. 70°
  4. 35°
Answer
  1. 25°
Solution:

From figure,
$\angle\text{AEF}=\angle\text{EGH}$ [Corresponding angles]
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{EGH}=\angle\text{AEF}=95^\circ$
Also,
$\angle\text{BGH}+\angle\text{EGH}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BGH}=180^\circ-\angle\text{EGH}=180^\circ-95^\circ$
$=85^\circ$
$\angle\text{BHS}=110^\circ$
Now,
$\angle\text{BHG}+\angle\text{BHS}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BHG}=180^\circ-\angle\text{BHS}=180^\circ-110^\circ$
$=70^\circ$
Now, in $\triangle\text{BHG}$
$\angle\text{BGH}+\angle\text{BGH}+\text{x}=180^\circ$ [Sum of all angles of a $\triangle$ is 180°]
$\Rightarrow\ 85^\circ+70^\circ+\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}^\circ=180^\circ-155^\circ=25^\circ$

Answer
  1. 18°
Solution:

From figure, we can see that
$\angle\text{x}^\circ+\angle\text{y}^\circ+\angle\text{z}^\circ=180^\circ\dots(1)$
Now,
$\frac{\text{y}}{\text{x}}=5\Rightarrow\ \text{y}=5\text{x}$
And,
$\frac{\text{z}}{\text{x}}=4,\text{z}=4\text{x}$
Substituting these value in equation (1), we have
$\angle\text{x}^\circ+\angle5\text{x}^\circ+\angle4\text{x}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle10\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ$

 $\angle\text{BOD}=90^\circ$ [Given]
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{AOD}=180^\circ-90^\circ=90^\circ$
Now,
$\text{x}^\circ=\angle\text{COE}=\angle\text{FOD}$ [Opposite angles are equal]
Now,
$\angle\text{AOF}+\angle\text{FOD}=90^\circ=\angle\text{AOD}$
$\Rightarrow\ 3\text{x}^\circ+10^\circ+\text{x}^\circ=90^\circ$

Also,
$\angle\text{3}\text{x}^\circ+\angle\text{y}^\circ+\angle2\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ$
Now,
$\angle\text{x}^\circ=\angle\text{y}^\circ$
$\therefore\ \angle\text{3}\text{y}^\circ+\angle\text{y}^\circ+\angle2\text{y}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle6\text{y}^\circ=180^\circ$

$=180^\circ-\angle\text{ABC}$ [From (1)]
$=180^\circ-70^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{ECF}=110^\circ$
Now, in $\triangle\text{CEF}$
$\angle\text{ECF}+\angle\text{CFE}+\angle\text{FEC}=180^\circ$

Question 231 Mark
Consider the following statement:
When two straight lines intersect:
  1. Adjacent angles are complementary
  2. Adjacent angles are supplementary
  3. Opposite angles are equal
  4. Opposite angles are supplementary
Of these statements
  1. (i) and (ii) are correct
  2. (ii) and (iii) are correct
  3. (i) and (iv) are correct
  4. (ii) and (iv) are correct
Answer
  1. (ii) and (iii) are correct
Solution:

Let two lines AB and CD intersect each other at O.
Now,
We can see from fogure any two adjacent angles
$\angle\text{AOD}$ and $\angle\text{DOB},\angle\text{DOB}$ and $\angle\text{BOC}$ etc are supplementary because their sum is 180°.
$\angle\text{AOD}+\angle\text{DOB}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{DOB}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$
So two adjacent angles are always supplementary.
Now,
Two opposite angle like $\angle\text{AOC}$ and $\angle\text{DOB},\angle\text{AOD}$ and $\angle\text{COB}$ are always equal to each other as they are vertically opposite angles
$\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{DOB}$
$\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{COB}$
Hence statement (ii) and (iii) are correct.
