    Smallest angle of a triangle is equal to two-third the smallest angle of a quadrilateral. The ratio between the angles of the quadrilateral is 3: 4: 5: 6. Largest angle of the triangle is twice its smallest angle. What is the sum of second largest angle of the triangle and largest angle of the quadrilateral?

    A)  \[160{}^\circ \]

    B)  \[180{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[190{}^\circ \]

    D)  \[170{}^\circ \]

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] Let the angles of the quadrilateral be and \[3x,\]\[4x,\]\[5x\] and \[6x\]respectively.
    Then, \[3x+4x+5x+6x=360{}^\circ \]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[18x=360{}^\circ \]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=20{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \] Smallest angle of the triangle
    \[=3\times 20\times \frac{2}{3}=40{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \] Largest angle of the triangle \[=40{}^\circ \times 2=80{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \] Second largest angle of triangle
    \[=180{}^\circ -(40{}^\circ +80{}^\circ )=60{}^\circ \]
    and largest angle of the quadrilateral
    \[=6x=6\times 20{}^\circ \]
    \[=120{}^\circ \]
    Hence, required sum \[=60{}^\circ +120{}^\circ =180{}^\circ \]
