    The ratio of the number of sides of two regular polygons is 1 : 2. If each interior angle of the first polygon is \[120{}^\circ ,\] then the measure of each interior angle of the second polygon is

    A) \[140{}^\circ \]

    B) \[135{}^\circ \]

    C) \[150{}^\circ ~\]

    D) \[160{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Given, Interior angle of the first polygon \[=120{}^\circ \] Let number of sides in first polygon be \[{{n}_{1}}.\] Then,    \[\frac{{{n}_{1}}-2}{{{n}_{1}}}\times 180{}^\circ =120{}^\circ \] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[3\,{{n}_{1}}-6=2{{n}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{n}_{1}}=6\] Sides of the second polygon \[=6\times 2=12\] Interior angle of the second polygon \[=\frac{12-2}{12}\times 180{}^\circ =150{}^\circ \]
