The difference between the largest and the smallest angles of a triangle whose angles are in the ratio 4 : 3 : 8, is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Here,
Ratio of angles of a triangle are = 4 : 3 : 8
⇒ Let the angles be = 4a, 3a and 8a
⇒ 4a + 3a + 8a = \({180}^\circ\)
⇒ 15a = \({180}^\circ\)
⇒ a = \({12}^\circ\)
⇒ Difference between Largest and smallest angle of triangle = 8a - 3a = 5a
⇒ 5a = 5 x 12 = \({60}^\circ\).
