b. 140°
c. 90°

11) An exterior angle of a triangle is 105° and its two interior opposite angles are equal. Each of
these equal angles is
(a) 37 ½°
(b) 72 ½°
(c) 75°
(d) 52 ½°
Answer: d
Explanation:
The exterior angle of triangle = 105°
Let the interior angles be “x”.
By using, exterior angle theorem, Exterior angle = Sum of interior opposite angles
Therefore, 105° = x+x
2x = 105°
x = 52 ½°
12) If one of the angles of a triangle is 130°, then the angle between the bisectors of the other two
angles can be
 4

(a) 50°
(b) 65°
(c) 145°
(d) 155°
Answer: d
Explanation:
Assume a triangle ABC, such that ∠BAC=130°

Also, the bisectors of ∠B and ∠C meet at O.

To find: ∠BOC
In a triangle △ABC,
∠BAC+∠ABC+∠ACB=180°
By using the angle sum property of the triangle,
130°+∠ABC+∠ACB=180°
∠ABC+∠ACB=50°
½ (∠ABC+∠ACB)=25°
Since OB and OC bisect ∠ABC and ∠ACB
∠OBC+ ∠OCB=25°
Now, consider △OBC, by using the angle sum property of the triangle,
∠OBC+ ∠OCB+∠BOC=180°
25°+∠BOC=180°
∠BOC=155°
13) If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the
ratio 2 : 3, then the greater of the two angles is:
(a) 54°
(b) 108°
(c) 120°
(d) 136°
Answer: b
 5

Explanation: Consider the following figure,

Here, line AB is parallel to the line CD and t is the transversal.

Here, ∠1 and ∠2 are on the same side of the transversal. Hence, ∠1: ∠2 = 2:3
Let ∠1 = 2x and ∠2 = 3x.
Therefore, ∠1+∠2 = 180° (If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, each pair of consecutive
angles are supplementary)
On substituting ∠1 = 2x and ∠2 = 3x in the above equation, we get
2x+3x = 180°
5x = 180°
x = 180°/5 = 36°
Hence, 3x >2x. It means ∠2 >∠1
The value of ∠2 = 3(36°) = 108°
14) If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles, then the triangle is
(a) a right triangle
(b) an isosceles triangle
(c) an equilateral triangle
(d) an obtuse triangle
Answer: a
Explanation: If one angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two angles, then the triangle is
a right triangle. We know that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°. In the right
triangle, one angle should be equal to 90°, and the remaining two angles are acute angles, and their
sum is equal to 90°.
15) The angles of a triangle are in the ratio 5 : 3: 7. The triangle is
(a) a right triangle
(b) an acute-angled triangle
(c) an obtuse-angled triangle
(d) an isosceles triangle
Answer: b
 6

Explanation: If the angles are in the ratio of 5:3:7,

We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
Therefore, 5x+3x+7x = 180°
15x = 180°
x = 180°/15 = 12°
Thus, 5x = 5(12°) =60°
3x = 3(12°) =36°
7x = 7(12°) =84°
Since all the angles are less than 90°, the triangle is an acute angle triangle.
16) Angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2: 4 : 3. The smallest angle of the triangle is
(a) 20°
(b) 40°
(c) 60°
(d) 80°
Answer: b
Explanation:
We know that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
Given that, the angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 2:4:3
By using the angle sum property of the triangle
2x+4x+3x = 180°
9x = 180°
x= 20
Therefore,
2x = 2(20) = 40°
4x = 4(20) = 80°
3x = 3(20) = 60°
Hence, the angles are 40°, 80° and 60°.
Therefore, the smallest angle of a triangle is 40°.
17) In the given figure, POQ is a line. The value of x is
 7

(a) 20
(b) 25
(c) 30
(d) 35
Answer: a
Explanation:
Given that POQ is a line. Hence, POQ = 180°
Therefore, 40°+4x+3x = 180°
7x = 180-40
7x = 140
x = 140/7
x = 20
Hence, the value of x is 20.
18) In the given figure, , if AB || CD || EF, PQ || RS, ∠RQD = 25° and ∠CQP = 60°, then ∠QRS is equal
to

(a) 85°
(b) 110°
(c) 135°
(d) 145°
Answer: d
Explanation: Given that, AB || CD || EF, PQ || RS, ∠RQD = 25° and ∠CQP = 60°.
To find: ∠QRS.
 8

∠CQP + ∠CQT=180 (Linear Pair)

60°+ ∠CQT=180
∠CQT = 180-60
∠CQT=120°
∠CQT = ∠ATU (Corresponding Angles)
∠ATU=120°
∠ARS = ∠ATU (Corresponding Angles)
∠ARS = 120°
∠QRA =∠RQD=25°
Hence, ∠QRS = ∠ARS+∠QRA = 120°+25°
∠QRS = 145°
19) An obtuse angle is
(a) Less than 90°
(b) Greater than 90°
(c) Equal to 90°
(d) Equal to 180°
Answer: b
Explanation: An obtuse angle is an angle that is greater than 90° and less than 180°.
20) In the given figure, if OP||RS, ∠OPQ = 110° and ∠QRS = 130°, then ∠PQR is equal to

(a) 40°
(b) 50°
(c) 60°
 9

(d) 70°
Answer: c
Explanation:
Now, consider the figure,

Using, OP || RS, we know that,

SRW+RWV=180° (Co Interior Angles)
∠RWV = 180°- 130°
Hence, ∠RWV = 50°
Since opposite angles of intersecting lines are equal,
∠PWQ = ∠RWV = 50°
For line OP
∠OQP + θ = 180° [Straight angle]
θ = 180° – ∠OPQ = 180° − 110°
θ = 70°
Now, by using the fact, that the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°, we can write
∠PQR + θ + ∠PWQ = 180°
∠PQR = 180°- θ – ∠PWQ = 180°- 70°- 50°
∠PQR = 180° − 120°
∠PQR = 60°
Hence, ∠PQR is equal to 60°.
