1. In the given figure, AB CD and PQ is a transversal. If ANM is 3 times of CMN then the value
of x is

(a) 45 (b) 60 (c) 35 (d) 120

Ans: (c)
Sol: Given ANM = 3CMN
Also, CMN = 2x − 25 (vertically opposite angle)

ANM = 3 ( 2 x − 25 )
CMN = 2 x − 25
CMN + ANM = 180 (co-interior angles)
3 ( 2 x − 25 ) + 2 x − 25 = 180

 6 x − 75 + 2 x − 25 = 180

 8 x − 100 = 180
 8 x = 280
280
x=

= 35

2. The side BC, CA and AB of ABC are produced in order, forming exterior angles ACD, BAE
and CBF , then ACD + BAE + CBF = ?
 (a) 180 (b) 270 (c) 360 (d) 290
Ans: (c)
Sol: a + b + c = 180 (angle sum property)
ACD = a + b -(i) (exterior angle property)
BAE = b + c -(ii) (exterior angle property)
CBF = a + c -(iii) (exterior angle property)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii)
ACD + BAE + CBF = 2 ( a + b + c )

 ACD + BAE + CBF = 2 (180 ) ( a + b + c = 180 )

 ACD + BAE + CBF = 360
3. If AB DE and BC EF , then DEF =

(a) 140 (b) 105 (c) 70 (d) 84

Ans: (c)
Sol: Given BC EF , and AB DE, for transversal BC ,
DOC = ABC (corresponding angles)
 DOC = 70
Also, for transversal DE,
 DEF = DOC (corresponding angles)
DEF = 70
4. If AE BC and AE is the bisector of CAD, then C =

(a) 60 (b) 90 (c) 45 (d) 80

Ans: (c)
Sol: Given, AE BC

 DAE = DBC (corresponding angle)

 DAE = 45
Also, DAC = 2DAE ( AE is bisector of DAC )
 DAC = 2  45
= 90
  ABC + BCA = 90 (exterior angle property)
 45 + C = 90
 C = 45

BCD = 40
x + BCD = 180 (co-interior angles)
x = 180 − 40
= 140
6. If BA CD, then find x

(a) 125 (b) 255 (c) 130 (d) 85

Ans: (b)
Sol: Draw EF CD passing through O.
 1 + 55 = 180 (co-interior angles)
1 = 180 − 55
= 125
Similarly,
2 + 50 = 180 (co-interior angles)
2 = 130
x = 1 + 2

Sol:
DCE = 40
ADC = BAD (interior alternate angle)
ADC = 52
CEA = DCE + ADC (exterior angle property)
= 40 + 52
= 92
DEC = 180 − 92
= 88

Ans: (c)
Sol:

FSD = 2 y
SPB = 2 y (corresponding angles)
Also,
RQP = SPB (corresponding angles)
RQP = 2 y

Now, RQP + GQP = 1800 (linear pair)

 2 y + x = 1800

9. What value of x will make CD EF and AB CD ?

(a) 1500 (b) 1450 (c) 1400 (d) 1350

Ans: (b)
Sol: For AB CD,

BCD = 650 (alternate interior)

 BCE + ECD = 650

 300 + ECD = 650
 ECD = 650 + 300
= 350
Also, for EF CD

 x + ECD = 1800 (Linear pair)

 x + 350 = 1800
 x = 1800 − 350
 = 1450
10. In the figure, x is equal to

(a) 300 (b) 500 (c) 1200 (d) 900

Ans: (b)
Sol: ABC = 1800 − 1200 (linear pair )

= 600

ACB = 1800 − 1100 = 70o (linear pair )

 x + ABC + ACB = 1800 (angles of a triangle)

 x + 600 + 700 = 1800
 x = 1800 − 1300
 = 500
