Solution: There is no change in an angle when an arm of an angle is extended.

10. The angles  x  30  and 120  x  are _____ angles

A) Obtuse angles B) Supplementary angles
C) Complementary angles D) None of these
Answer: C
Solution: Sum of angles  x  30  120  x
 90
 Given angles are complementary angles.

A) 16 B) 17 C) 25 D) 30
Answer: D
Solution: Count the unit squares  16
Count the 2  2 squares = 9
Count the 3  3 squares = 4
Count the 4  4 squares = 1
Total  16  9  4  1  30 .

14. P, Q, R and S are four collinear points. If PQ  RS , which of the following must be true?
I. PQ  QR , II. PR  QS , III. PR  RS
A) II only B) I only C) II and III only D) III only
Answer: C

Q R S
Solution: P
Given, PQ  RS
PQ  QR  RS  QR
PR  QS
Hence, PR  RS also
 Only II and III are correct.
