Answer

In a parallelogram, adjacent angles are supplementary.

Let one of the angle of parallelogram be x.

The adjacent angle is given as 4x5\dfrac{4x}{5}.

x+4x5=180°5x+4x5=180°9x5=180°9x=180°×59x=900°x=100°.\Rightarrow x + \dfrac{4x}{5} = 180° \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{5x + 4x}{5} = 180° \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{9x}{5} = 180° \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9x = 180° \times 5 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9x = 900° \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 100°.

The adjacent angle = 4×100°5\dfrac{4 \times 100°}{5} = 80°.

The angles opposite to 100° is also 100°.

The angle opposite to 80° is also 80°.

Hence, option 1 is the correct option.
