    Question

    Four angles of a quadrilateral are in arithmetic progression with a common difference of 20 degrees. What is the smallest angle of that quadrilateral?

    A.

    40 degrees

    B.

    60 degrees

    C.

    80 degrees

    D.

    100 degrees

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    There are 4 angles in arithmetic progression.
    Common difference = 20 degrees
    Sum of all interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360 degrees

    Formula:
    For 4 terms in A.P.:
    Sum=n2[2a+(n1)d]\text{Sum} = \frac{n}{2} \left[ 2a + (n - 1)d \right]​​
    Where:
    n = 4, d = 20, a = first (smallest) angle

    Solution:

    360 = 4/2 × [2a + 3d]
    => 360 = 2 × [2a + 60]
    => 360 = 4a + 120

    4a + 120 = 360
    => 4a = 240
    => a = 60

    Final Answer:
    (B) 60 degrees
