Answer

An obtuse angle is between 90° and 180°.

  1. Right angle (90°) + acute angle (e.g., 20°) = 110° (obtuse) — possible.

  2. Obtuse angle (e.g., 100°) + acute angle (e.g., 20°) = 120° (obtuse) — possible.

  3. Two acute angles (e.g., 60° + 60°) = 120° (obtuse) — possible.

  4. Two right angles = 90° + 90° = 180° (straight angle, not obtuse) — not possible.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
