An angle which is greater than 180° but less than 360° is called a reflex angle.
Q 5 - The complement of 62° is.
A - 118°
B - 28°
C - 38°
D - 48°
Answer - B
Explanation
Complement of 62°= (90° – 62°) = 28°.
Q 6 - The supplement of 60° is
A - 30°
B - 40°
C - 120°
D - 300°
Answer - B
Explanation
Supplement of 60° = (180°-60°) =120°.
Q 7 - The complement of 72° 40' is
A - 107°20'
B - 27°20'
C - 17°20'
D - 12°40'
Answer - C
Explanation
Complement of 72° 40' = (90°-72° 40') =17° 20'.
Q 8 - An angle is one fifth of its supplement. The measure of the angle is
A - 15°
B - 30°
C - 75°
D - 150°
Answer - B
Explanation
x = 1/5 (180 – x )⇒ 5x = 180 – x ⇒ 6x = 180 ⇒ x = 30°.
Q 9 - If an angle is its own complementary angle, then its measure is
A - 30°
B - 45°
C - 60°
D - 90°
Answer - B
Explanation
x=(90-x) ⇒ 2x = 90 ⇒ x = 45° .
Q 10 - How many angles are made by rays shown in the figure?
A - 5
B - 6
C - 8
D - 10
Answer - D
Explanation
The angle are ∠AOB , ∠BOC,∠COD,∠DOE,∠AOC,∠AOD, ∠AOE,∠BOD,∠BOD,∠COE.
Thus , 10 angle are formed.
Q 11 - An angle is 24° more than its complement.The measure of the angle is
A - 57°
B - 47°
C - 53°
D - 66°
Answer - A
Explanation
x – (90-x ) = 24 ⇒ 2x = 114 ⇒ x = 57
∴ Required angle is 57°.
Q 12 -An angle is 32° less than its supplement. The measure of the angle is
A - 37°
B - 74°
C - 48°
D - 66°
Answer - A
Explanation
(180 –X) – X = 32 ⇒ 2x = 180 – 32 = 148 ⇒ x = 74.
Required angle is 74°.
Q 13 - Two Supplementary angles are in th ratio 3:2. The smaller angle measures
A - 108°
B - 81°
C - 72°
D - 66°
Answer - C
Explanation
Let the measures of the angle be (3x)° and (2x)°. Then,
3x+2x=180 ⇒ 5x = 180 ⇒ x = 36.
Smaller angle = (2x)° = (2*36)° = 72°.
Q 14 - In the given figure, AOB is a straight line, ∠AOC = 68° and ∠BOC = x°. The value of the x is
A - 120°
B - 22°
C - 112°
D - 132°
Answer - A
Explanation
Since ∠AOB is a straight angle , we have
X+ 68 = 180 ⇒ x= (180-68)° = 120°
Q 15 - In the given figure , AOB is a straight line, ∠AOC = (3x+20)° and ∠ BOC =(4 x-36)°. The value of the x is
A - 32°
B - 22°
C - 26°
D - 24°
Answer - B
Explanation
Since ∠AOB is a straight angle , we have
∠AOC + ∠ BOC =180°
⇒ 3x + 20 +4x – 36 = 180
⇒ 7x = 164 ⇒ x = 22.
Q 16 - In the given figure , AOB is a straight line, ∠ AOC = (3x-8)° and ∠COD =50 and ∠BOD° =(x+10)°. The value of the x is
A - 32°
B - 42°
C - 36°
D - 52°
Answer - A
Explanation
Since ∠AOB is a straight angle , we have
∠AOC + ∠ COB + ∠ BOD = 180°
⇒ (3X – 8)° + 50° + (X+ 10)° = 180°
⇒ 4X = 128 ⇒ X = 32.
