    If two adjacent angles of a parallelogram are in the ratio \[3:2,\]what are their measures?

    A)  \[{{108}^{o}},{{72}^{o}}\]     

    B)                         \[{{72}^{o}},{{36}^{o}}\]

    C)                         \[{{100}^{o}},{{80}^{o}}\]     

    D)                         \[{{144}^{o}},{{36}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let the angles be \[3x\] and \[2x\]. We have, \[3x+2x={{180}^{o}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \] \[5x={{180}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x={{36}^{o}}\]              \[\therefore \]The angles are \[{{36}^{o}}\times 3\] and \[{{36}^{o}}\times 2={{108}^{o}}\] and \[{{72}^{o}}\].
