Answer

It is given that the interior angle of a regular polygon is 165°.

According to the properties of polygons, if a polygon has n sides, then each of its interior angles is (2n4)×90°n\dfrac{(2n - 4) \times 90°}{n}.

(2n4)×90°n\dfrac{(2n - 4) \times 90°}{n} = 165°

⇒ (2n - 4) x 90° = 165°n

⇒ 180°n - 360° = 165°n

⇒ 180°n - 165°n = 360°

⇒ 15°n = 360°

⇒ n = 360°15°\dfrac{360°}{15°}

⇒ n = 24

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
