    In the given figure, lines AB and CD intersect at point 0. If \[a:b=2:3,\] then what is the measure of\[\angle BOD\]

    A)  \[54{}^\circ \]                      

    B)  \[72{}^\circ \]          

    C)  \[100{}^\circ \]                    

    D)  \[105{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): \[\angle a+\angle b=180{}^\circ \frac{\angle a}{\angle b}=\frac{2}{3}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,\angle a=2x\,\,\,\,\,\angle b=3x\] \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,2x+3x=180{}^\circ \Rightarrow x=36{}^\circ \] Now, \[\angle BOD\] is vertically opposite to \[\angle a\,\,\,\therefore \,\,\angle BOD=\angle a=2x=72{}^\circ \]
