(a) 100 (b) 40 (c) 80 (d) 20

Ans: (c)
Sol: Since ACB is a line
 DCA and DCB form a linear pair
 DCA + DCB = 180  5x + 4x = 180
 9 x = 180  x = 20
DCA = 5x = 5  20 = 100
DCB = 4 x = 4  20 = 80

 (a) 75 (b) 50 (c) 80 (d) 40
Ans: (b)
Sol: AOC + BOE = 80 -(i) (given)
BOD = 30 -(ii) (given)
Lines AB and CD intersect at O.
AOC = BOD = 30 (vertically opposite angle)
 AOC = 30 (from (ii))
Putting value of AOC in (i), we have
30 + BOE = 80
 BOE = 80 − 30 = 50
4. In the figure, lines XY and MN intersect at O. If POY = 90 and a = b, find c.

(a) 126 (b) 132 (c) 135 (d) 140

Ans: (c)
Sol: a=b
Let a = x then b = x
XOM + POM + POY = 180 (Angle on a straight line)
 x + x + 90 = 180
 2 x + 90 = 180  2 x = 90  x = 45
XOM = b = 45 and POM = a = 45
Now, XON = c = MOY (vertically opposite angle)
= POM + POY = 45 + 90
Hence, c = 135

(a) 122 (b) 302 (c) 258 (d) 288

Ans: (b)
Sol: XYP is a straight line
 XYZ + ZYQ + QYP = 180

 64 + ZYQ + QYP = 180 XYZ = 64

 64 + 2QYP = 180 YQ bisects ZYP 

 2QYP = 180 − 64 = 116

116
 QYP = = 58

Reflex QYP = 360 − 58 = 302
6. The value of x if AOB is a straight line, is

(a) 36 (b) 60 (c) 30 (d) 35

Ans: (b)
Sol: EOD = COF = x (vertically opposite angles)
AOE + EOD + DOB = 180 ( AB is a straight line)
 x + x + x = 180
  3x = 180
 x = 60

(a) 40 (b) 35 (c) 50 (d) 45
Ans: (d)
Sol: Let the angle be x
 its complement = 90 − x
And its supplement = 180 − x
According to question,
180 − x = 3 ( 90 − x )

 180 − x = 270 − 3x
 2 x = 90
 x = 45
8. An angle is 18 less than its complementary angle. The measure of this angle is
(a) 36 (b) 48 (c) 83 (d) 81
Ans: (a)
Sol: let the angle be x
 its complement = 90 − x
According to question,
( 90 − x ) − ( x ) = 18
 90 − 2 x = 18
 2 x = 90 − 18
 2 x = 72
 x = 36

(c) 22, 44,84 (d) 48, 24, 22
Ans: (a)
Sol: Since OR and OS are in same line
ROP + POT + TOS = 180
 2b + 60 + b = 180  3b + 60 = 180
 3b = 120  b = 40
Since PQ and RS intersect at O.
QOS = POR (vertically opposite angles)

 a = 2b  a = 2  40 = 80 ( b = 40 )

Also, ROQ + QOS = 180 (Linear pair)

 3 c + a = 180
 3 c + 80 = 180 ( a = 80 )
 3 c = 100  c = 33.3
 a = 80, b = 40 and c = 33.3
