    If one of the interior angles of a regular polygon is equal to 5/6 times of one of the interior angles of a regular pentagon, then the number of sides of the polygon is:

    A) 3                         

    B)        4

    C) 6                         

    D)        8

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Explanation Option [b] is correct. \[\therefore \,\,Interior angle of pentagon = 180{}^\circ -\frac{360{}^\circ }{5}~=108{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \,\,Interior angle of\,required\,polygon = \frac{5}{6}\times 180{}^\circ =90{}^\circ \] \[=180{}^\circ -90{}^\circ =90{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \,\,\,Each interior angle of the required polygon\,\] \[\therefore \,Number\,of\,sjdes\,\,=\,\,\frac{360{}^\circ }{Exterior\,angle}\,=\frac{360{}^\circ }{90{}^\circ }=4\]
