∠QRS is equal to

(A) 85°
(B) 135°
(C) 145°
(D) 110°

Solution:
As ARQ  RQD  25o [alt. s ]
Also, RQC  180  60  120 (linear pair)
And, SRA  120o (Corresponding angle)

Now,
SRQ  120  25
SRQ  145
Hence, the correct option is (C).

2. If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles, then

5 x  3 x  7 x  180o
15 x  180o
180o

2 x  2 y  180o  130o
2 x  2 y  50o
x  y  25
That is OBC  OCA  25

RQ is a line segment.
So, PXQ  RXV  180 [linear pair axiom]

PXQ  180  RXP  180  130

PXQ  50

In triangle PQX, OPQ is an exterior angle,

110  50  PQX
PQX  110  50

triangle is
(A) 60°
(B) 40°
(C) 80°
(D) 20°

Solution:
Given, the ratio of angles of a triangle is 2 : 4 : 3.
Let the angles of a triangle be ∠A, ∠B and ∠C.
∠A = 2x, ∠B = 4x ∠C = 3x,
∠A+∠B+ ∠C= 180° [sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180°]
2x + 4x + 3x = 180°
9x = 180°
x =180°/9
=20°

∠A=2x =2 x 20° = 40°

∠B = 4x = 4 x 20° = 80°
∠C = 3x = 3 x 20° = 60°
So, the smallest angle of a triangle is 40°.
Hence, the correct option is (B).

Short Answer Questions with Reasoning:
1. For what value of x + y in Fig. will ABC be a line? Justify your answer.

Solution:
See the figure, x and y are two adjacent angles.
For ABC to be a straight line, the sum of two adjacent angle must be 180 .

2. Can a triangle have all angles less than 60°? Give reason for your
answer.

Solution:
We know that in a triangle, sum of all the angles is always 180 . So, a triangle can’t have all
angles less than 60 .

3. Can a triangle have two obtuse angles? Give reason for your answer.

Solution:
If an angle whose measure is more than 90 but less than 180 is called an obtuse angle.
We know that a triangle can’t have two obtuse angle because the sum of all the angles of it
can’t be more than 180 . It is always equal to 180 .

4. How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as 45°, 64° and 72°?
Give reason for your answer.

Solution:
We know that sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 .
The sum of all the angles is 45  64  72  181 . So, we can’t draw any triangle having
sum of all the angle 181 .

5. How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as 53°, 64° and 63°?
Give reason for your answer.

Solution:
We know that sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180 .
Sum of these angles = 53  64  63  180 . So, we can draw infinitely many triangles
having its angles as 53°, 64° and 63°.

6. In Fig., find the value of x for which the lines l and m are parallel.

Solution:
See the given figure, l || m and if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then sum of
interior angles on the same side of a transversal is supplementary.
x  44  180
x  180  44
x  136

7. Two adjacent angles are equal. Is it necessary that each of these angles
will be a right angle? Justify your answer.

Solution:
No, because if it will be a right angle only when they form a linear pair.

8. If one of the angles formed by two intersecting lines is a right angle, what
can you say about the other three angles? Give reason for your answer.

Solution:
If two intersecting line are formed right then by using linear pair axiom aniom, other three
angles will be a right angle.

9. In Fig., which of the two lines are parallel and why?

Solution:
In the first figure, sum of two interior angle is:
 Lines and Angles
132° + 48° = 180° [Equal to 180°]
Hence, we know that, if sum of two interior angle are equal on the same side of n is 180°,
then they are the parallel lines.

In the second figure, sum of two interior angle is:

73° + 106° = 179° ≠ 180°.
Hence, we know that, if sum of two interior angle are equal on the same side of r is not equal
to 180°, then they are not the parallel lines.

10. Two lines l and m are perpendicular to the same line n. Are l and m
perpendicular to each other? Give reason for your answer.

Solution:
If two lines l and m are perpendicular to the same line n, then each of the two corresponding
angles formed by these lines l and m with the line n are equal to 90 .
Hence the line l and m are not perpendicular but parallel.

To show that l||m.

Now, prove that AP||BQ are t is transversal, therefore:

PAB  ABQ [Alternate interior angle] … (I)
2PAB  2ABQ [Multiplying both sides by 2 in equation (I)]

Since, alternate interior angle are equal.

So, if two alternate interior angle are equal then lines are parallel.
