    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​​
