Question:

The exterior angle of a triangle is 115° and the corresponding interior opposite angles are in the ratio 2 : 3. The measure of greatest angle of the triangle is:

Options:

70°

65°

69°

79°

Correct Answer:

65°

Explanation:

Let the angles are 3x and 2x

We know that,

3x + 2x = 115°

5x = 115°

x = 23°

3x = 69°

2x = 46° 

Third angle = 180° - 115° = 65° ( Greatest)
