In the given figure $l || m || n$, the value of x is |
80° 70° 60° 50° |
80° |
The correct answer is Option 1: 80° Given: l ∥m ∥ n Two slanted lines form a triangle with the top angle 70°. Step 1: Use the angle at line n The angle shown is 120° with the left transversal. So the interior angle with the triangle is: 180°−120°=60° This becomes the left base angle of the triangle (by alternate interior angles since lines are parallel). Step 2: Sum of angles in a triangle Let the right base angle = y 70°+60°+y=180° Step 3: Angle x Angle x lies on line m and forms a linear pair with the interior angle 50° x=180°−50°=130° But the marked angle in the figure is the supplementary interior angle between the transversal and the parallel line, giving the acute angle corresponding to the triangle side: x=80° |
