Q.

The angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5. The smallest angle of the quadrilateral is equal to the smallest angle of a triangle. One of the angles of the triangle is twice the smallest angle of the triangle. What is the second largest angle of the triangle ?

View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Given the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5 Let the angles of a quadrilateral are 2x, 4x, 7x, 5x But we know that sum of the angles = 360 degrees. => 2x + 4x + 7x + 5x = 360 => x = 20 Therfore, the smallest angle of the quadrilateral = 2x = 2x20 = 40 degrees. One of the angle of the triangle = 2 x 40 = 80 degrees The other angle is 180 - (40 + 80) = 60 degrees. Hence the second largest angle of the triangle is 60 degrees.
