Vivek Rana answered
Given, AB ║ CD and AB ║ EF
so CD || EF
which means ∠ECD + ∠CEF = 1800 (corresponding angles)
∠ECD = 180 - 150 = 300
since AB || CD so 
∠ABC= ∠BCD (alternate interior angles)
∠ABC = 30 + ∠ECD = 30 + 30 = 600

Ritu Agarwal answered
Explanation:
When two lines intersect, they form a point. Therefore, the first line can intersect the other three lines at three points each, resulting in a total of 9 points of intersection. However, when we add the second line, it can only intersect the remaining two lines at two points each, resulting in a total of 4 additional points of intersection. Similarly, the third line can only intersect the remaining one line at one point, resulting in only one additional point of intersection. Therefore, the maximum number of points of intersection is 9 + 4 + 1 = 14. However, each point of intersection is counted twice (once for each line), so we need to divide by 2 to get the total number of distinct points of intersection. Therefore, the answer is (9 + 4 + 1) / 2 = 7.

Answer: (C) 6

An exterior angle of triangle is 80° and the interior opposite angles are in the ratio 1:3. Measure of each interior opposite angle is:​
  • a)
    30°, 60°
  • b)
    30°, 90°
  • c)
    40°, 120°
  • d)
    20°, 60°
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Ananya shah answered
so interior angle corresponding to 80° will be 100°
let there ratio be x so angles would be x and 3x
x + 3x + 100° = 180°
4x = 80°
x = 20°
so x and 3x  will be 20° and 60° respectively  

If the arms of one angle are respectively parallel to the arms of another angle, then the two angles are :
  • a)
    Neither equal nor supplementary
  • b)
    Not equal but supplementary
  • c)
    Equal but not supplementary
  • d)
    Either equal or supplementary
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Imk Pathshala answered
  1. Option A: "Neither equal nor supplementary"
    This is incorrect because the angles will either be equal or supplementary.
  2. Option B: "Not equal but supplementary"
    This is partially correct but does not include the case when the angles are equal.
  3. Option C: "Equal but not supplementary"
    This is also partially correct but does not include the case when the angles are supplementary.
  4. Option D: "Either equal or supplementary"
    This is correct as it covers both possibilities.

If two angles are complementary of each other, then each angle is :
  • a)
    An Obtuse angle
  • b)
    A Right angle
  • c)
    An Acute angle
  • d)
    A supplementary angle
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

C is correct...If angles are complementary or of 90 degrees then each angle is acute angle because acute angles are those angles whose measure is less than 90 degree... ...Each angle will not be obtuse,right and not supplementary...

In the given figure, straight lines PQ and RS intersect at O. If the magnitude of θ is 3 times that of ϕ, then (∠ϕ) is equal to :
  • a)
    30°
  • b)
    40°
  • c)
    45°
  • d)
    60°
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Correct option is C
In the above figure straight lines PQ and RS intersect at O.
It is given that θ=3ϕ  .....(1)
∠POR and ∠QOR form linear pair of angles
Also ∠POR=ϕ and ∠QOR=θ 
∠POR+∠QOR=180
ϕ+θ=180
ϕ+3ϕ=180 .....(From 1)
4ϕ=180
ϕ= 180/4 =45
Hence, ∠ϕ=45.

Two parallel lines have:
  • a)
    A common point
  • b)
    Two common points
  • c)
    No common point
  • d)
    Infinite common points
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sara Nair answered
Explanation:
In geometry, two lines are parallel if they never intersect each other. Therefore, they cannot have any common points.

Definition of Parallel Lines:
Parallel lines are two lines that are always the same distance apart and never intersect.

Visual Representation:
We can visualize two parallel lines as two train tracks that run side by side. They never cross each other, and they remain at a constant distance apart.

Common Points:
If two lines have a common point, then they are not parallel. Instead, they are intersecting lines.

Two Common Points:
If two lines have two common points, then they are not parallel. Instead, they are coincident lines. In other words, they are the same line.

Infinite Common Points:
If two lines are the same line, then they have infinite common points. However, this is not the same as having parallel lines with infinite common points. Parallel lines cannot have any common points, whether finite or infinite.

Which one of the following is not correct?
  • a)
    If two lines are intersected by a transversal, then alternate angles are equal.
  • b)
    If two lines are intersected by a transversal then sum of the interior angles on the same side of transversal is 180°.
  • c)
    If two lines are intersected by a transversal then corresponding angles are equal.
  • d)
    none of these.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

B)If two lines are intersected by a transversal then sum of the interior angles on the same side of transversal is 180 is not correct. The sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is always equal to 180 degrees for any pair of parallel lines intersected by the transversal.

An angle is 14° more than its complementary angle, then angle is :
  • a)
    38°
  • b)
    52°
  • c)
    50°
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Hansa Sharma answered
Let the angle be x
Then the complement angle will be 90 −x
Given x is 14 more than 90 −x
⟹ x = 14 + 90 −x
⟹ 2x = 104
⟹ x = 52
The measure of the angle is 52

Let's Tute answered
let ratio be x
a + b = 180° 
2x  + 3x = 180°
5x = 180°
x = 180°/5
x =36°

h = 180° - a 
h = 180° - 2(36°)
h = 180° -72°
h = 108°

In a triangle ABC if ∠A = 53° and ∠C = 44° then the value of ∠B is:

    46°
  • b)
    83°
  • c)
    93°
  • d)
    73°
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashish Sen answered
Solution:

Given, A = 53 and C = 44

We know that sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

So, A + B + C = 180°

Substituting the given values, we get:

53 + B + 44 = 180

97 + B = 180

B = 180 - 97

B = 83

Therefore, the value of B is 83.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    30°, 50°, 100°
  • d)
    30°, 60°, 80°
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dev Thapliyal answered
Let the greatest no. be x. Let the smaller no. be 2x Let the third angle be 2x+20 A.T.Q Sum of all angles in a triangle is 180 so, x+2x+2x+20=180 5x+20=180 5x=180-20 5x=160 x=160÷5 x=32 therefore angles are 32,32×2,32×2+20 32,64,84

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Geetika Chopra answered
To solve this problem, we can use the properties of parallel lines and perpendicular lines.

Let's label the points as follows:
- A and C are points on line l.
- B and D are points on line m.
- AB is perpendicular to both l and m.
- CD is perpendicular to both l and m.

We are given that AB = 4 cm.

We can use the property that if a line is perpendicular to two parallel lines, then it is perpendicular to any line drawn between them. This means that AB is perpendicular to CD.

Since AB and CD are perpendicular, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of CD.

The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.

In this case, AB and CD form a right triangle, with AB as the hypotenuse. So, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of CD.

Let's assume that CD = x cm.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

AB^2 = AC^2 + CD^2

Substituting the given values, we have:

4^2 = AC^2 + x^2

16 = AC^2 + x^2

We don't know the value of AC, so we can't directly solve for x. However, we can use the fact that AC is parallel to BD to find a relationship between AC and AB.

Since AC is parallel to BD, we can use the property that corresponding angles formed by a transversal cutting parallel lines are equal. This means that angle BAC is equal to angle BCD.

Since AB is perpendicular to l and m, angle BAC is a right angle. Therefore, angle BCD is also a right angle.

So, we have a right triangle BCD, where angle BCD is a right angle.

Since AC is parallel to BD and angle BCD is a right angle, we can conclude that triangle BCD is similar to triangle ABD.

In similar triangles, the ratio of corresponding sides is equal. So, we have the following ratio:

AB/CD = AD/BD

Substituting the given values, we have:

4/x = AD/BD

We know that AB = 4 cm, so AD = 4 cm. Therefore, we have:

4/x = 4/BD

We can simplify this equation to:

1/x = 1/BD

This means that x = BD.

Since BD is the length of CD, we can conclude that CD = x.

Therefore, CD = BD.

In the given diagram, BD is the length of CD.

Since AB is perpendicular to both l and m, and CD is perpendicular to both l and m, we can conclude that AB = CD.

Therefore, CD = 4 cm.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

In the figure, AB || CD and ∠F = 30° the value of ∠ECD is
  • a)
    110°
  • b)
    109°
  • c)
    120°
  • d)
    105°

The sum of interior angles on the same side of the transversal of two parallel lines is 180 therefore; 2x+3x=180 5×=180 ×=180 /5 =36 therefore the larger angle = 3x = 3×36=108

Two planes intersect each other to form a :

  • A:

    straight line

  • B:

    angle

  • C:

    point

  • D:

    plane

The answer is a.

Sarita Reddy answered
Two non-parallel planes in space form a line upon intersection, as long as each plane is unique. Three non-parallel planes intersect at a point. The best and simplest example is to fold a piece of paper. Since the folded paper now represents two distinct planes, the crease itself is the intersection point, forming a line.

In the figure, AB║CD. If ∠2 = (2x + 30)°, ∠4 = (x + 2y)° and ∠6 = (3y+10)° the measure of ∠5 is

    50°
  • c)
    60°

2 = 4 …(vertically opposite angles),
4 = 6 …(Alternate angles)
(2x + 30) = (x + 2y) …(1)
(x+2y) = (3y +10) …(2)

  • a)
    80°
  • b)
    100°
  • c)
    130°
  • d)
    120°
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

- Given that in triangle ABC, AB = AC
- We know that in an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal
- So, angle B = angle C
- Let the value of angle B be r
- Therefore, angle C = r
- From angle sum property of a triangle, we have: A + B + C = 180°
- Substituting the values, we get: A + r + r = 180°
- Simplifying, we get: A + 2r = 180°
- 80° +2r =180°
- 2r = 100°
- r = 50°
so x + r = 180°
    x + 50° = 180°
    x = 130°
