The interior angles of a polygon are in AP. If the smallest angle is 120∘

Question

The interior angles of a polygon are in AP. If the smallest angle is 120

^{\circ}

and the common difference is 5

^{\circ}

, then find the possible number of sides of that polygon?

Options:

A . 16

B . 9

C . Both a and b

D . None of these

Answer: Option B
:
B
Sum of the interior angles of a polygon = (n-2) 180

\frac{n}{2}

* (2a+ (n-1)d)= (n-2)180

\frac{n}{2}

* [2*(120) + (n-1)5]=(n-2)180
n[48+(n-1)] = (n-2)72
n

^{2}

-25n + 144=0
n=9 and n=16
when n= 16, the greatest angle will be equal to a+15d = 120 + 15 x 5 = 195 and no interior angle of a
polygon can be equal to or greater than 180. hence answer =b
