Question 11 Mark
If one of the angles of a triangle is 130º then the angle between the bisectors of the other two angles can be:
  1. 50º
  2. 65º
  3. 90º
  4. 155º
Answer
  1. 155º

Solution:

Let $\angle\text{A}=130^\circ$

In $\triangle\text{ABC},$ by angle sum property,

$\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}+\angle\text{A}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}+130^\circ=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=50^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{B}+\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{C}=25^\circ$

Now, in $\triangle\text{BOC},$

$\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{B}+\frac{1}{2}\angle\text{C}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow25^\circ+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BOC}=155^\circ$

Question 21 Mark
In the adjoining figure, what is the value of y?
  1. 36
  2. 54
  3. 63
  4. 72

Answer
  1. 54

Solution:

AOB is a straight line.

$\therefore$ xº + yº 90º = 180º

⇒ x + y = 90 .....(i)

Since the angles around a point sum up to 360º,

⇒ xº + 90º + yº + 72º + 3xº = 360º

⇒ 4x + y = 198 .....(ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get

3x = 108 ⇒ x = 36º

Substituting in (i), we get

y = 54º

Question 31 Mark
An angle is one fifth of its supplement. The measure of the angle is:
  1. 15º
  2. 30º
  3. 75º
  4. 150º
Answer
  1. 30º

Solution:

Let the measure of the angle be xº.

So, its supplement = (180º - x)

According to the given condition,

$\text{x}=\frac{1}{5}(180^\circ-\text{x)}$

$\Rightarrow5\text{x}=180-\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow6\text{x}=180$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=30^\circ$

Question 41 Mark
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. The largest angle of the triangle is:
  1. 120º
  2. 100º
  3. 80º
  4. 60º
Answer
  1. 80º

Solution:

By angle sum property,

2x + 3x + 4x = 180° 

⇒ 9x = 180° 

⇒ x = 20° 

Hence, largest angle = 4x = 4(20°) = 80°

Question 61 Mark
In the given figure, AOB is a straight line. If $\angle\text{AOC}=(3\text{x} +10)^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BOC}=(4\text{x}-26)^\circ,$ then $\angle\text{BOC}=?$
  1. 96º
  2. 86º
  3. 76º
  4. 106º

Answer
  1. 86º

Solution:

Since AOB is a straight line,

$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow(3\text{x}+10)+(4\text{x}-26)=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow7\text{x}-16=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow7\text{x}=196$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=28$

So, $\angle\text{BOC}=4 \text{x}-26=4(28)-26=86^\circ$

Question 71 Mark
In the given figure, AB || CD. If $\angle\text{BAO}=60^\circ$ and $\angle\text{OCD}=110^\circ$ then $\angle\text{AOC}=?$
  1. 70º
  2. 60º
  3. 50º
  4. 40º

Answer
  1. 50º

Solution:

Let $\angle\text{AOC}=\text{x}^\circ$

Draw YOZ || CD || AB.

Now, YO || AB and OA is the transversal.

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{YOA}=\angle\text{OAB}=60^\circ$ (alternate angles)

Again, OZ || CD and OC is the transversal.

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{COZ}+\angle\text{OCD}=180^\circ$ (interior angles)

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{COZ}+110^\circ=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{COZ}=70^\circ$

Now, $\angle\text{YOZ}=180^\circ$ (straight angle)

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{YOA}+\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COZ}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow60^\circ+\text{x}+70^\circ=1806^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=50^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOC}=50^\circ$

Question 81 Mark
An exterior angle of a triangle is 110º and its two interior opposite angles are equal. Each of these equal angles is:
  1. $70^\circ$
  2. $55^\circ$
  3. $35^\circ$
  4. $27\frac{1^\circ}{2}$
Answer
  1. $55^\circ$

Solution:

Let each interior opposite angle be x.

Then, x + x = 110° (Exterior angle property of a triangle)

⇒ 2x = 110°

⇒ x = 55°

Question 91 Mark
The angles of a triangle are in the ration 3 : 5 : 7. The triangle is:
  1. Acute-angled.
  2. Obtuse-angled.
  3. Right-angled.
  4. An isosceles triangle.
Answer
  1. Acute-angled.

Solution:

Let the angles measure (3x)º, (5x)º and (7x)º.

Then,

3x + 5x + 7x = 180º

⇒ 15x = 180º

⇒ x = 12º

Therefore, the angles are 3(12)º = 36º, 5(12)º = 60º and 7(12)º = 84º.

Hence, the triangle is acute-angled.

  1. 65º
  2. 55º
  3. 45º
  4. 75º

Answer
  1. 55º

Solution:

Since AB || CD,

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ACE}=\angle\text{BAC}=80^\circ$

In $\triangle\text{CEF},$

$\angle\text{ACE}=\angle\text{CEF}+\angle\text{CFE}$ (Exterior angle is equal to sum of the remote interior angles)

$\Rightarrow80^\circ=\angle\text{CEF}+25^\circ$

Question 131 Mark
The measure of an angle is five times its comlement. The angle measure.
  1. 25º
  2. 35º
  3. 65º
  4. 75º
Answer
  1. 75º

Solution:

Let the measure of the angle be xº,

So, its complement = (90 - x)º

According to the given condition,

x = 5(90 - x)

⇒ x = 450 - 5x

⇒ 6x = 450

⇒ x = 75º

So, the angle measures 75º.

Question 141 Mark
In the given figure, straight lines AB and CD interect at O.If $\angle\text{AOC}=\phi,\angle\text{BOC}=\theta$ and $\theta=3\phi,$
then $\phi=?$
  1. 30º
  2. 40º
  3. 45º
  4. 60º

Answer
  1. 45º

Solution:

$\angle\text{AOD}=\angle\text{COB}=\theta$

$\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOD}=\phi$

Since the sum of the measures of the angles around a point is 360º,

$\angle\text{AOD}+\angle\text{COB}+\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOD}=360^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\theta+\theta+\phi+\phi=360$

$\Rightarrow2(\theta+\phi)=360$

$\Rightarrow\theta+\phi=180$

Given that $\theta=3\phi.$

So, $3\phi+\phi=180$

$\Rightarrow4\phi=180$

$\Rightarrow\phi=45$

Question 151 Mark
In the adjoining figure, AOB is a straight line. If x : y : z = 4 : 5 : 6, then y =?
  1. 60º
  2. 80º
  3. 48º
  4. 72º

Answer
  1. 60º

Solution:

The ratio of the angles is given to be 4 : 5 : 6.

So, let the measure of the angles be 4m, 5m and 6m.

Since AOB is a straight line,

$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COD}+\angle\text{BOD}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow4\text{m}+5\text{m}+6\text{m}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow15\text{m}=180$

$\Rightarrow\text{m}=12$

So, y = 5m = 5(12) = 60º.

Question 161 Mark
Two complementary angles are such that twich the measure of the one is equal to three times the measure of the other. The larger of the two measure.
  1. 72º
  2. 54º
  3. 63º
  4. 36º
Answer
  1. 54º

Solution:

Let the measure of each angle be xº and (90 - x)º.

According to the given condition,

2x = 3(90 - x)

⇒ 2x = 270 - 3x

⇒ 5x = 270

⇒ x = 54º

So, (90 - x)º = (90 - 54)º = 36º

So, the larger of the two angles is 54º.

Question 171 Mark
In the given figure, AOB is a straight line. If $\angle\text{AOC}=(3\text{x}-10)^\circ,\angle\text{COD}=50^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BOD}=(\text{x}+20)^\circ$ then $\angle\text{AOC}=?$
  1. 40º
  2. 60º
  3. 80º
  4. 50º

Answer
  1. 80º

Solution:

Since AOB is a straight line,

$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{COD}+\angle\text{BOD}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow(3\text{x}-10)+50+(\text{x}+20)=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow4\text{x}+60=180$

$\Rightarrow4\text{x}=120$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}=30$

So, $\angle\text{AOC}=3\text{x}-10=3(30)-10=80^\circ$

  1. 65º
  2. 115º
  3. 110º
  4. 125º

Answer
  1. 115º

Solution:

$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{BOD}=1306^\circ$ (given)

But $\angle\text{AOC}=\angle\text{BOD}$ (Vartically Opposite angles)

$\Rightarrow2\angle\text{AOC}=130^\circ$

Since COD is a straight line,

$\angle\text{AOC}+\angle\text{AOD}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow65^\circ+\angle\text{AOD}=180^\circ$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{AOD}=115^\circ$

Question 211 Mark
In the given figure AB || CD and CD || EF. If y : z = 3 : 7 then x = ?
  1. 108º
  2. 126º
  3. 162º
  4. 63º

Answer
  1. 126º

Solution:

AB || CD

x + y = 180º and y = p (Vertically opposite angles)

Also, CD || EF and t is the transversal.

$\therefore$ p + z = 180º

⇒ y + z = 180º $(\because\text{p}=\text{y})$

$\therefore$ x + y = y + z

⇒ x = z

But y : z = 3 : 7

$\therefore\text{y}=\Big(180\times\frac{3}{10}\Big)=54^\circ$ and $\text{z}=\Big(180\times\frac{7}{10}\Big)=126^\circ$

x = 126º $(\because\text{x}=\text{z})$

$\Rightarrow\angle\text{COD}=\angle\text{AOB}=50^\circ$ (Vertivcally opposite angles)

In $\triangle\text{OCD},$ we have

$\angle\text{COD}+\angle\text{OCD}+\angle\text{ODC}=180^\circ$ (Angle sum property)
