Match the following columns:


Column I



Column II



(a) If x° and y° be the measures of two complementary angles such that 2x = 3y, then x=………..



(p) 45o



(b) If an angle is the Supplement of itself, then


then the measure of the angle is ………….



(q) 60o



(c) If an angle is the complement of itself, then


the measure of the angle is………….



(r) 54o



(d) If x° and y° be the angles forming a linear pair such that x – y = 60°, then y = …



(s) 90o



The correct answer is:


A. – …….., B. – ……….,


C. – ………, D. – ……….,

(a) – (r), (b) – (s), (c) – (p), (d) – (q)


(a) – (r)


X + y = 90


X + 2x/3 = 90


5x/3 = 90


X = 270/5


= 54


(b) – (s)


X + y = 180 (according to question x =y)


X + x = 180


2x = 180


X = 90


(c) – (p)


X + y = 90 (according to question x =y)


X + x = 90


2x = 90


X = 45


(d) – (q)


X + y = 180 (linear pair of angles) ……………………….(i)


X – y =60 (according to question) …………………….. (ii)


Adding (i) and (ii) we get,


2x = 240


X = 120


Now putting this in (ii) we get,


Y = 120 – 60 = 60
