Question
In the adjoining figure, it is given that AB || CD, ∠BAO = 108∘ and ∠OCD = 120∘ then ∠AOC = ________.
Answer: Option C
:
C
Let us redraw the given figure as follows:
Now we know that interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary
Therefore ∠BAO + ∠AOR = 180∘
⇒ ∠AOR = 72∘
and similarly
∠ROC + ∠OCD = 180∘
⇒ ∠ROC + 120∘ = 180∘
⇒ ∠ROC = 60∘
Hence
∠AOC = 60∘ + 72∘
⇒ ∠AOC = 132∘
