(b) Lines FQ and MW are ___________ lines.
(c) Lines CN and FQ are ___________ lines.
(d) Lines DZ and YG are ___________ lines.
(e) Lines CN and YG are ___________ lines.
(f) Lines HT and MW are ___________lines.

(c) Lines CN and FQ are perpendicular lines.
(d) Lines DZ and YG are perpendicular lines,
(e) Lines CN and YG are perpendicular lines.
(f) Lines HT and MW are intersecting lines.

Question 2.
State which lines are parallel and why?
Solution:
If a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of alternate interior angles is equal, then
the two lines are parallel.
Since ∠EQR = ∠PRQ =110° and lines FE and PR are intersected by a transversal DC such
that the pair of alternate angles is equal.
So, FE || PR.

Question 3.
In the given figure, l || m and t is a transversal. If ∠1 = 55°, find ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7 and
∠8.

Solution:
Since l || m and ∠1 = 55°
So, ∠3 = ∠1 = 55° (Vertically opposite angles)
and ∠1 + ∠2 = 180° (Linear pair)
or, ∠2 = 180° – ∠1 = 180° – 55° = 125°
Also, ∠5 = ∠3 = 55° (Alternate interior angles)
Now, ∠4 + ∠5 = 180°
(Interior angles on the same side of the transversal)
or ∠4 = 180° – ∠5 = 180° – 55° = 125°
Also, ∠6 = ∠2 = 125° (Corresponding angles)
Now ∠5 = ∠7 = 55° (Vertically opposite angles)
Also, ∠6 = ∠8 = 125° (Vertically opposite angles)
Hence, ∠2 = 125°, ∠3 = 55°, ∠4 = 125°, ∠5 = 55°, ∠6 = 125°, ∠7 = 55° and ∠8 = 125°.

Question 4.
In the given question, a statement of Assertion (A) is followed by a statement of Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Two vertically opposite angles can be obtuse.

Reason (R): Two vertically opposite angles are always equal to each other.
Choose the correct option as:
(a) Both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Both assertion and reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the
assertion.
(c) Assertion is true and the reason is false.
(d) Assertion is false, and the reason is true.
Solution:
(b) The assertion is true—vertically opposite angles can be obtuse.
The reason is also true, as it is a fundamental property of vertically opposite angles.

Thus, both the assertion and the reason are true, but the reason does not directly explain why
vertically opposite angles can be obtuse.
Question 5.
Find whether the lines AB and CD are parallel or not.

Solution:
∠CIF + ∠FIJ = 180° “[Linear pair]
∠CIF = 180°- ∠FIJ
= 180° -50°= 130°
So, ∠ALI = ∠CIF = 130° .
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, then each pair of corresponding angles
are equal.
Here, ∠ALI = ∠CIF = 130° are two corresponding angles.
Hence, AB || CD.

Question 6.
In the figure given below, if AB is parallel to CD and CD is parallel to EF, find ∠ACE.
Solution:
Given that AB is parallel to CD and CD is parallel to EF.
∠CEF + ∠ECD = 180°
[Sum of the interior angles of same side of transversal]
130° + ∠ECD = 180°
∠ECD = 180°-130° = 50°
Also, ∠BAC = ∠ACD = 70° [Alternate angles]
Now, ∠ACD = ∠ECD + ∠ACE
∠ACE = ∠ACD – ∠ECD
= 70° – 50°
= 20°
Therefore, ∠ACE = 20°.

Question 1.
Draw any rectangle and find the measures of angles at the four vertices made by the
intersecting lines.
Answer:
Let A B C D be the rectangle.
A B C D is a parallelogram with ∠A = 90°.
We have, ∠C = ∠A = 90°
[opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]

Again, ∠A+∠B = 180°

[ ∵ ∠A and ∠B are adjacent angles of a parallelogram]
→ 90°+∠B = 180°
→ ∠B = 180°-90° = 90°
∴ ∠D = ∠B = 90°
[ ∵ opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal]
Hence, ∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°

Question 2.
Name the pair of angles in figure.

Answer:
∠11 and ∠12 are pair of linear pair of angles.

Question 3.
Find the value of x in the following figure if I and m are parallel lines.

Answer:
Since, l and m are parallel lines and a is a transversal.
∴ ∠x = 100° [corresponding angles]
Hence, the required value of x is 100°.

Question 4.
Find the value of x in the following figure if I and m are parallel lines.

Answer:
We have, l and m are parallel lines and t is a transversal.
∴ ∠x = ∠1 [alternate interior angles]

Now, ∠1 + 110° = 180°

[by linear pair]
∴ ∠1 = 180°-110° = 70° → ∠x = 70°
Hence, the required value of x is 70°.

Question 5.
In the given figure, state whether l is parallel to m or not?
Answer:
Since, 44°+126° = 170°
But 170° ≠ 180°
i.e.The sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal is not 180°.
So, l and m are not parallel.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
In the following figure, I1 is parallel to I2. Find the value of ∠1 and ∠2.

Answer:
Since, line l1 is parallel to the line l2, where line l3 is transversal and ∠30° and ∠1 are alternate
interior angles.
So, ∠1 = 30°
Also, ∠1 and ∠2 form a linear pair angles.
So, ∠1+∠2 = 180° → 30°+∠2 = 180°
→ ∠2 = 180°-30° → ∠2 = 150°.

Question 2.
In the following figure, I2 is parallel to I3. Find the value of ∠m and ∠n.

Answer:
Since, lines l2 and l3 are parallel to each other, where l1 is transversal.
∴ ∠60° and m are alternate interior angles.
So, m = 60°
Also, angles m and n form a linear pair angles.
So, m + n = 180°
→ 60° + n = 180°
→ n = 180° – 60°
→ n = 120°
Question 3.
In the following figure, I1 is parallel to I2. Find the value of ∠P and ∠Q.

Answer:
Since, lines l1 and l2 are parallel to each other, where l3 is transversal.
∴ ∠130° and ∠P are corresponding angles.
So, ∠P = 130°
Also, ∠P and ∠Q are vertically opposite angles.
So, ∠Q = ∠P = 130°
→ ∠Q = 130°

Question 4.
In the following figure, I1 is parallel to I2. Find the value of ∠M.

Answer:
Since, lines l1 and l2 are parallel to each other, where l3 is transversal.
∴ ∠P and ∠130° form a linear pair angles.
So, ∠P+130° = 180°
→ ∠P = 180° – 130°
→ ∠P = 50°
Also, ∠P and ∠M are alternate interior angles.
∴ ∠M = ∠P = 50°

Question 5.
In the following figure, l1 is parallel to l2. Find the value of ∠P and ∠Q.
Answer:
Since, lines l1 and l2 are parallel to each other, where l3 is transversal.
∴ ∠Q and ∠52° are vertically opposite angles.
So, ∠Q = 52°
Also, angles 128° and ∠P form a linear pair angles.
So, 128° + ∠P = 180°
→ ∠P = 180 °- 128°
→ ∠P = 52°

Question 6.
In the following figure, if l is parallel to m, find the value of ∠a and ∠b.

Answer:
Since, ∠b and ∠132° are pair of interior angles on the same side of transversal.
∴ ∠b + 132° = 180° [∵ cointerior angles ]
→ ∠b = 180°-132°
→ ∠b = 48°
Also, ∠a+∠b and ∠65° are pair of interior angles on the same side of transversal.
∴ ∠a+∠b+65° = 180°
→ ∠a+48°+65° = 180°
→ ∠a = 180° – 113°
→ ∠a = 67°
Hence, ∠a = 67° and ∠b = 48°

Question 7.
In the following figure, QP is parallel to RS, then find the value of ∠a and ∠b.
Answer:
Since, QP and RS are parallel lines, PR is a transversal.
∴ ∠QPR = ∠PRS = 65° [alternate interior angles]
∠a = 65° [∵ ∠PR S = ∠a]
∠PQR = ∠b = 70° [corresponding angles]
Hence, ∠a and ∠b are 65° and 70°, respectively.

Question 8.
In the following figure, PQ is parallel to RT. Find the value of a + b.

Answer:
Since, PQ and RT are parallel lines and RQ is a transversal.
∠RPQ and ∠a are corresponding angles.
∴ ∠RPQ = ∠a
→ ∠a = 45°
Also, ∠b and ∠RQP are alternate interior angles.
∴ ∠b = 55°
Hence, ∠a+∠b = 45°+55° = 100°

Question 9.
In the following figure, ∠2 = 58°. Find ∠1 and ∠3.

Answer:
Given, ∠2 = 58°
→ ∠1 = ∠2 = 58°
[alternate interior angles]
Also, ∠1 + ∠3 = 180°
[linear pair]
∴ 58°+∠3 = 180°
→ ∠3 = 180° – 58°
So, ∠1 = 58° and ∠3 = 122°

Question 10.
In the adjoining figure, I, m and n are parallel lines and the lines p and q are also parallel.
Find the values of a, b and c.

Answer:
Given, l || m || n and p || q
∴ 6a = 120°
⇒ a = 120°6 = 20°
Similarly, 4c = 120°
⇒ c = 120°4 = 30° and 3b = 4c[correspondingangles]
⇒ b = 4×30°3
⇒ b =40°
Question 11.
In the given figure, AB is parallel to CD. Find the reflex of ∠EFG.

Answer:
Given, ∠1 = 34°
∠AEF = 34° [alternate interior angles]
∵ ∠FGD = 135°
∴ ∠2 + 135° = 180° [sum of pair of cointerior angles is 180°]
∠2 = 180°-135°
→ ∠2 = 45°
→ ∠1 + ∠2 = 34° + 45° = 79°
Reflex of ∠EFG = 360° – 79° = 281°
[∵ reflex angle is less than 360° and more than 180°]

Question 12.
In the given figure, two parallel lines / and m are cut by two transversals n and p. Find the
values of x and y.

Answer:
Given, l and m are parallel lines, n and p are transversals, ∠TBO = 66°.
∴ ∠TBO + ∠x = 180°
[∵ l and m are parallel lines and cointerior angles has a sum of 180°]
→ ∠x = 180°-66° = 114°
∵ ∠OCA = ∠BDO
[alternate angles formed by transversal m are equal]
So, ∠BDO = 48° [alternate interior angles]
∵ ∠BDO+∠QDO = 180° [linear pair]
→ 48°+∠y = 180°
→ ∠y = 180°-48° = 132°

Long Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
In the following figure, AB is parallel to CD, AF is parallel to ED, ∠AFC = 70° and ∠FED =
40°, then find ∠EFD.

Answer:
Since, AF || ED and E F is a transversal.
Also, AB || CD
So, ∠AFE = ∠FED = 40° [alternate interior angles] 70° and (∠AFE + ∠EFD) form a linear
pair angles.
70° + ∠AFE + ∠EFD = 180°
→ 70°+40° + ∠EFD = 180°
→ ∠EFD = 180° – 110°
→ ∠EFD = 70°

Question 2.
Iron rods a, b, c, d, e and f are making a design of a bridge as shown in figure, in which a is
parallel to b, c is parallel to d, e is parallel to f. Find the marked angles between
(i) band c
(ii) d and e
(iii) d and f
(iv) c and f

Answer:
(i) Angle between b and c = 30° [vertically opposite angles]

(ii) Angle between d and e + Angle between

e and c = 180° [cointerior angles]
∴ Angle between d and e = 180°-75° = 105°
[∵ angle between c and e = 75°]

(iii) Angle between d and f+ Angle between d and e = 180°

[ ∵ pair of cointerior angles]
∴ Angle between d and f = 180°-105° = 75°

(iv) Angle between c and f = Angle between d and f [corresponding angles]

∴ Angle between c and f = 75°

Question 3.
In the following figure, land m are parallel lines and a line t, intersects these lines at P and Q,
respectively. Find the value of 2a + b.
Answer:
Since, lines l and m are parallel to each other and line t is a transversal.
∴ ∠132° and ∠b are vertically opposite angles.
So, ∠b = 132°
Also, ∠132° and ∠a are corresponding angles.
So, ∠a = 132°
Now, the value of 2a + b = 2 × 132° + 132° = 264° + 132°
∴ 2a + b = 396°
Hence, the value of 2a + b is 396°.

Question 4.
In the given figure, AE is parallel to GF and GF is parallel to BD, again AB is parallel to CG
and CG is parallel to DF then find ∠ABC and ∠CDE

Answer:
Given, AE is parallel to GF and GF is parallel to BD, AB is parallel to C G and CG is parallel
to DF.
∠CHE = 120°
∵ AE and BD are parallel lines.
∴ ∠CHE+∠HCD = 180° [cointerior angles]
→ 120°+∠HCD = 180°
→ ∠HCD = 180°-120° = 60°
→ ∠HCD = ∠ABC = 60° [corresponding angles]
Also, ∠HCD + ∠CDE = 180° [cointerior angles]
→ 60°+∠CDE = 180°
→ ∠CDE = 180° – 60°
∴ ∠CDE = 120°
Question 5.
In the given figure, examine whether the following pairs of lines are parallel or not.
(i) E F and GH
(ii) A B and CD

Answer:
Given, ∠PSR = 115° ; ∠RQD = 70° and ∠CPF = 65°
(i) ∠PQR+∠RQD = 180°
[linear pair]
→ ∠PQR = 180°-70°
→ ∠PQR = 110°
∠CPF = ∠SPQ = 65° [vertically opposite angles]
If E F and G H are parallel lines then according to the definition of cointerior angles, the sum
of ∠SPQ + ∠RQP should be 180°.
∴ 65° + 110° = 175° ≠ 180°
So, EF is not parallel to GH.

(ii) ∠CPF + ∠CPS = 180°

→ 65° + ∠CPS = 180°
→ ∠CP S = 180°-65° = 115° [linear pair]
If AB and CD are parallel lines then according to the definition of alternate angles,
∠RSP = ∠CPS
It is satisfying the condition. [∵ ∠RSP = ∠CPS = 115°] So, AB is parallel to CD.
Question 6.
In the following figure, E F is parallel to GH, ∠EAB = 70° and ∠ACH=120°. Then, find
∠CAF and ∠BAC.

Answer:
Since, lines EF and G H are parallel to each other.
Where, ∠EAB = 70° and ∠ACH = 120°
∠EAB and ∠CBA are alternate interior angles.
So, ∠CBA = 70°
∵(∠EAB + ∠BAC) and ∠ACH are alternate interior angles.
so, ∠EAB + ∠BAC = 120°
→ 70° + ∠BAC = 120°
→ ∠B A C = 120°-70° = 50°
∠CAE = ∠EAB + ∠BAC
∴ ∠CAE = 70°+50° = 120°
Also, ∠FAC + ∠CAE = 180° [linear pair]
→ ∠FAC = 180°-120°
∴ ∠FAC = 60°

Question 7.
Amisha makes a star with the help of line segments a, b, c, d, e and f in which a is parallel to
d, b is parallel to e and c is parallel to f. Chhaya marks an angle as 120°, as shown in figure
and asks Amisha to find ∠x, ∠y and ∠z. Help Amisha in finding the angles.

Answer:
Given, a is parallel to d, b is parallel to e, c is parallel to f and a, b, c, d, e and f are line
segments.
Give them points A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K.

∵ ∠AKE = 120°
∴ ∠IKL = ∠AKE = 120° [vertically opposite angles]
Now, a and d are parallel lines.
∴ ∠JKL+∠KCH = 180°
→ 120°+∠z = 180°
→ ∠z = 180°-120° = 60° [cointerior angles]
Also, ∠FGH+∠KCH = 180° [cointerior angles]
→ ∠FGH = 180°-60° = 120°
∠FGH = ∠BGD [vertically opposite angles]
→ ∠BGD = 120° → ∠y = 120°
and ∠x+∠FGH = 180° [cointerior angles]
∴ ∠x = 180°-120° = 60°
Hence, ∠x = 60°, ∠y = 120° and ∠z = 60°.

Question 8.
A road crosses a railway line at an angle of 30° as shown in figure. Find the values of a, b and
c.

Answer:
Firstly, make a rough diagram of given figure.
Given, ∠PQR = 30°
∠HST = ∠PQS [corresponding angles]
or ∠PQS = ∠c
∵ ∠RQS = 180° [by linear pair]
∴ ∠PQR+∠PQS = 180°
30°+∠c = 180°
→ ∠c = 180° – 30°
→ ∠c = 150°
∵ ∠XYQ = ∠PQS [corresponding angles]
and ∠XYQ = ∠b [vertically opposite angles]
∴ ∠b = ∠c or ∠b = 150°
Now, ∠IXS = ∠XYQ [corresponding angles]
∴ ∠IXS = 150°
Here, ∠IXS+∠a = 180° [linear pair]
→ 150°+∠a = 180°
→ ∠a = 180° – 150° = 30°
