If ∠A = 2x°, ∠B = (6y + 10)°, ∠C = (2x + y)° and ∠D = (x + 10)° are the angles of a quadrilateral, then the values of x and y will be :

  1. x = 40°, y = 20°

  2. x = 20°, y = 40°

  3. x = 45°, y = 15°

  4. x = 15°, y = 45°

Answer

We know that,

Sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360°.

⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°

⇒ 2x° + 6y° + 10° + 2x° + y° + x° + 10° = 360°

⇒ 5x° + 7y° + 20° = 360°

⇒ 5x° + 7y° = 340°

Substituting x = 40°, y = 20° in L.H.S. of the above equation, we get :

⇒ 5 × 40° + 7 × 20°

⇒ 200° + 140°

⇒ 340°.

Since, L.H.S. = R.H.S.

Solution : x = 40°, y = 20°.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
