  • Question
  • A, B, C are the three angles of a ?. If A ? B = 15° and B ? C = 30°. Then ?A is equal to :


  • Options
  • A. 65°
  • B. 80°
  • C. 75°
  • D. 85°

  • Correct Answer
  • 80° 

    Explanation

    Since A, B and C are the angles of a ?,
    ? A + B + C = 180° .......................................... (1)
    According to question,
    A ? B = 15° ;
    ? A = B + 15°....................................................(2)
    B ? C = 30°;
    ? B = C + 30°;...................................................(3)
    Put the value of B from equation (2) in Equation (1), we will get
    ? A = B + 15°
    A = C + 30° + 15°
    A = C + 45° ........................................................(4)
    From a equation,
    ? A + B + C = 180°
    ? (C + 45°) + (C + 30°) + C = 180°
    ? 3C + 45° + 30° = 180°
    ? 3C = 180° ? 75° = 105°
    ? C = 35° ..........................................................(5)
    From equation (4)
    A = C + 45°
    Put the value of C from equation (5) , we will get
    ? ?A = 35° + 45° = 80°.
