Question

Three angles of ∆ABC are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5, taken in order. If side AB is extended to X, what is the measure of exterior angle ∠CBX?

A.

100°

B.

80°

C.

120°

D.

60°

Correct option is C

Given:

Angles of \triangle​ ABC are in ratio =3:4:5

Formula Used:

Exterior angle = Sum of interior opposite angles

Sum of angles of a triangle = 180o180^o​​

Solution: 

Let the angles A, B and C are in ratio 3x,4x and 5x respectively

Then 3x + 4x + 5x = 180^o

12x = 180o180^o​​

x = 18012=15o \frac{180}{12} = 15^o​​

A=3x=45o\angle A = 3x = 45^o​​

B=4x=60o\angle B = 4x = 60^o​​

C=5x=75o\angle C = 5x = 75^o​​

For CBX\angle CBX​ the interior opposite angles areA and C \angle A \text{ and }\angle C​​

CBX=A+C=45o+75o=120o\angle CBX = \angle A + \angle C = 45^ o + 75^o =120^o​​
