45 + a + a = 180º
2a = 135º

a

Now x = 45 + a (Exterior angle equal to sum of interior opposite angle)
so, 2x = 2(45 + a)
= 90 + 2a
= 90 + 135
2x = 225º

Fill in the blanks

16. Let speed of C2 = 
so speed of C1 = 80% of  = .8 
they have to travel equal distance

17. Side = 1
P1 = 10
P2 = 12
P3 = 14
P4 = 16
(P1 + P4) – (P2 + P3)
(10 + 16) – (12 + 14)
26 – 26 = 0

18. Let number = a b

according to question  a = 2b ... (1)
Now , if we swap the digits  ba
so
ab + ba = 132
(10a + b) + (10 b + a) = 132
11a + 11b = 132
a + b = 12
2b + b = 12 {from equation (1)}
b=4
So a=8
Number = 84

20. Number = 1,2,3,4,5,6

Consecutive number pair = (1,2,3)  6
(2,3,4)  6
(3,4,5)  6
(4,5,6)  6
Total = 24

In OCD
COD + ODC + OCD = 180º
COD + 55º + 90º = 180º
COD = 180– 145 = 35º
COD = AOB (vertically opposite angle)

In AOB
AOB + OAB + ABO = 180º
35º + 20º + xº = 180º
xº = 180º – 55º = 125º

22. 34a5b  36
3 4 a 5 b must be divisible by 9 & 4
to be divisible by 9
3 + 4 + a + 5 + b = 12 + a + b
Also 5b must be divisible by 4
so b = 2, 6
If b = 2
then 12 + a + 2 has to be divisible by 9
14 + a
14 + 4 = 18 Divisible by 9
So a=4

If b = 6
then 12 + a + 6 = 18 + a
So a = 0 and 9
