    Question

    P is a point on line AB and PQ is a ray such that ∠QPA =7x and ∠QPB = 5x. Then, the value of (8x-10°) is:

    A.

    140°

    B.

    102°

    C.

    110°

    D.

    118°

    Correct option is C

    P is a point on line AB
    PQ is a ray
    ∠QPA = 7x
    ∠QPB = 5x
    We need to find the value of (8x-10°)
    Since P is on line AB, the sum of the angles at point P is 180°. Therefore, we can set up an equation:
    ∠QPA + ∠QPB + ∠P = 180°
    Substituting the given values:
    7x + 5x + ∠P = 180°
    12x + ∠P = 180°
    12x = 180° - ∠P
    Now, consider triangle PQA:
    ∠QPA = 7x
    ∠A = 180° - ∠QPA - ∠P
    ∠A = 180° - 7x - ∠P
    The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180°, so we can set up an equation for triangle PQA:
    ∠QPA + ∠A + ∠P = 180°
    7x + 180° - 7x - ∠P + ∠P = 180°
    180° - ∠P = 180°
    -∠P = 0
    Therefore, ∠P = 0°
    Substituting this value back into the equation 12x = 180° - ∠P:
    12x = 180° - 0°
    12x = 180°
    x = 15°
    Now we can calculate the value of (8x-10°):
    (8x-10°) = (8 × 15°) - 10°
    (8x-10°) = 120° - 10°
    (8x-10°) = 110°
    Therefore, the value of (8x-10°) is 110°. So the answer is (c) 110°.
