Q39

0. The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5 : 8. The sum of the supplement of the largest angle and the complement of the smallest angle is

  • Option : D
  • Explanation : Let 2x, 3x, 5x and 8x be the angles of the quadrilateral.
    Sum of angles of a quadrilateral = 360 °
    ⇒ 2x+3x+5x+8x=360o
    ⇒ 18x=360°  ⇒ x=20° Now, smallest angle = 2x = 2 x 20° = 40o
    Complement of the smallest angle = 90o- 40° = 50°...(i)
    Largest angle=8x =8 x20o =160°
    Supplement of the largest angle= 180° -160° = 20° ... (ii)
    Now, sum of the supplement of largest
    angle and complement of smallest angle= 20o +50°= 70o
