Question

The measures of two supplementary angles are in the ratio 3 : 7. Find the measure of the greater of the two angles.

RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

126°

Let the two supplementary angles be \(3x\) and \(7x\).

Since the angles are supplementary, their sum is 180°:

\(3x + 7x = 180°\)

\(10x = 180°\)

\(x = \frac{180°}{10} = 18°\)

The measures of the two angles are:

\(3x = 3(18°) = 54°\)

\(7x = 7(18°) = 126°\)

The greater of the two angles is \(126°\).
