If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2 : 3, then the greater of the two angles is
Question

If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2 : 3, then the greater of the two angles is:

A.

108o108^o​​

B.

54o54^o​​

C.

136o136^o​​

D.

120o120^o​​

Correct option is A

Given:
If two interior angles on the same side of a transversal intersecting two parallel lines are in the ratio 2 : 3
Concept Used:
We also, know that, if a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of consecutive interior angles are supplementary.
Therefore,

1+2=180°\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 180 \degree 

Solution:

According to given condition.

1=2x and 2=3x{\angle} 1 = 2x \,\text{and}\, \angle 2 = 3x

We know

1+2=180°2x+3x=180°5x=180°x=36°\angle 1 + \angle 2 = 180 \degree\\2x+3x = 180 \degree\\5x= 180 \degree\\x = 36 \degree\\

1=2x=2×36=72°2=3x=2×36=108°\angle 1 = 2x = 2 \times 36 = 72\degree\\\angle 2 = 3x = 2 \times 36 = 108\degree\\​​

SO, the greater angle is 108°\degree​​
