    if the angles of a triangle are in the ratio 2:3:4, then the difference between the greatest and the smallest angle is ____.

    A)  \[\text{10 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\]                            

    B)  \[\text{20 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\]    

    C)         \[\text{30 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\]                

    D)         \[\text{40 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\]                

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the angles of the triangle be \[2x,\text{ }3x\] and\[4x\]. As sum of angles of a triangle Is\[\text{180 }\!\!{}^\circ\!\!\text{ }\] \[\therefore \] \[2x+3x+4x=180{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow 9x=180{}^\circ \Rightarrow x=\frac{180{}^\circ }{9}=20{}^\circ \] So, the angles are \[2x=2\times 20{}^\circ =40{}^\circ \]                         \[3x=3\times 20{}^\circ =60{}^\circ \]                         \[4x=4\times 20{}^\circ =80{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \] Difference between the greatest and smallest angles \[=\text{ }80{}^\circ -40{}^\circ =40{}^\circ \]
