Ans: According to the question given that, AOC  BOE  70 and BOD  40 .

We need to find BOE and reflex COE .
According to the given figure, we can conclude that COB and COE form a
linear pair.
As we also know that sum of the angles of a linear pair is 180 .
So, COB  COE  180
Because, COB  AOC  BOE , or
So, AOC  BOE  COE  180
 70  COE  180
 COE  180  70
 110.
Reflex COE  360  COE
 360  110
 250.
AOC  BOD (Vertically opposite angles), or
BOD  BOE  70

40  BOE  70
BOE  70  40
 30 .
Hence, we can conclude that Reflex COE  250 and BOE  30 .
2. In Fig. 6.14, lines XY and MN intersect at 0. If POY  90 and a : b  2 : 3 ,

 x  18
Hence, b  3 18  54
Now b  c  180 [Linear pair]
 54  c  180
 c  180  54  126

 SRX  180  130  50.

QRX  SRX  QRS
 110  50  QRS
 QRS  60 .
Hence, we can determine that QRS  60 .

2. In fig the side AB and AC of ABC are produced to point E and D
respectively. If bisector BO And CO of CBE and BCD respectively meet at
1
point O , then prove that BOC  90  BAC

3. In given fig. AB ‖ CD. Determine a .
Ans: Through O draw a line l parallel to both AB and CD
Clearly
a  1  2
1  38
2  55 [Alternate interior angles]
a  55  38

Hence, the value of a  93 .
4. In fig M and N are two plane mirrors perpendicular to each other; prove
that the incident ray CA is parallel to reflected ray BD.
Ans: Now we draw AP  M and BQ  N
So, BQ  N and AP  M and M  N
So, BOA  90

 BQ  AP
In BOA2  3  BOA  180 [By angle sum property]
 2  3  90  180
So, 2  3  90
Also 1  2 and 4  3
 1  4  2  3  90
So, (1  4)  (2  3)  90  90  180
 (1  2)  (3  4)  180
or CAB  DBA  180

So, CA ‖ BD [By sum of interior angles of same side of transversal]
Hence proved.
5. It is given that XYZ  64 and XY is produced to point P . Draw a figure

from the given information. If ray YQ bisects ZYP . Find XYQ and reflex
QYP .
Ans:
According to the figure,

YQ bisects ZYP
So, 1  2
1  2  64  180 [YX is a line]
1  1  64  180
21  180  64
21  116
1  58
So, XYQ  64  58  122
2  XYQ  180
1  2  QYP  58
2  122  180

2  180  122
QYP  2  58
Reflex QYP  360  QYP
 360  58
 302
Hence, the value of XYQ =122 and reflex QYP  302 .

Class IX Maths www.vedantu.com 9

As we also know that sum of the angles of a linear pair is 180 .

So, COB  COE  180

Because, COB  AOC  BOE , or

So, AOC  BOE  COE  180

 70  COE  180
