    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 \[=\text{ }180{}^\circ -\frac{{{360}^{{}^\circ }}}{5}=108{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \] Interior angle of required polygon \[=\frac{5}{6}\times 108{}^\circ =90{}^\circ \] = 180° - 90° = 90° \[\therefore \] Each interior angle of the required polygon \[\therefore \]   Number of sides \[=\frac{{{360}^{{}^\circ }}}{Exterior\text{ }angle}=\frac{{{360}^{{}^\circ }}}{{{90}^{{}^\circ }}}=4\]
