In the given figure, \[AB||CD\]and they cut PQ and QR at E, F and G, H, respectively.\[\angle PEB=70{}^\circ \]and \[\angle QHD=140{}^\circ \]and\[\angle PQR=x.\] Find the value of x. |
A) \[20{}^\circ \]
B) \[30{}^\circ \]
C) \[24{}^\circ \]
D) \[32{}^\circ \]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Since, \[AB||CD\]and PQ is the transversal. |
\[\therefore \]\[\angle PEF=\angle EGH\][corresponding angles] |
\[\angle EGH=70{}^\circ \] \[[\because \angle PEF=70{}^\circ ]\] |
\[\angle EGH+\angle HGQ=180{}^\circ \][linear pair] |
\[\Rightarrow \] \[\angle HGQ=180{}^\circ -70{}^\circ =110{}^\circ \] |
\[\angle DHQ+\angle GHQ=180{}^\circ \][linear pair] |
\[\Rightarrow \]\[\angle GHQ=180{}^\circ -140{}^\circ =40{}^\circ \] |
In \[\Delta GQH,\]\[\angle GQH+\angle GHQ+\angle HGQ=180{}^\circ \] |
\[\Rightarrow \]\[x+40{}^\circ +110{}^\circ =180{}^\circ \] |
\[\Rightarrow \]\[x+150{}^\circ =180{}^\circ \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=30{}^\circ \] |
