Q3 of 32 Page 67

In Figure 5.61 OP || RS, OPQ = 110° and QRS = 130° then PQR is equal to-

For the above figure let us draw a straight line through Q as follows:


It is given that OP || RS and OPQ = 110° and QRS = 130°


Sum of interior angles lying on the same side of the transversal is always 180°.


So by referring above figure:


OPQ + PQX = 180°


110° + PQX = 180°


PQX = 180 – 110


PQX = 70°


Again Sum of interior angles lying on the same side of the transversal is always 180°.


So by referring above figure:


QRS + RQY = 180°


130° + RQY = 180°


RQY = 180 – 130


RQY = 50°


Now we have assumed that XY is a straight line.


So PQR + RQY + PQX = 180° as they form a linear pair.


PQR + 70° + 50° = 180°


PQR + 120° = 180°


PQR = 180 – 120


PQR = 60°


So the correct answer is C.
