    Smallest angle of a triangle is equal to two-third of the smallest angle of a quadrilateral. The ratio between the angles of the quadrilaterals is 3: 4: 5 : 6. Largest angle of the triangle is twice its smallest angle. What is the sum of second largest angle of the triangle and largest angle to the quadrilateral?                 [Bank of Baroda (PO) 2011]

    A) \[160{}^\circ \]            

    B) \[180{}^\circ \]

    C) \[190{}^\circ \]            

    D) \[170{}^\circ \]

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Here/ratio among the angles of quadrilateral
    = 3: 4: 5: 6
    Now, total sum of the angles of quadrilateral \[=360{}^\circ \]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[(3+4+5+6)x=360{}^\circ \]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{360{}^\circ }{18}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[x=20{}^\circ \]
    Largest angle of quadrilateral \[=6\times 20{}^\circ =120{}^\circ \]
    Smallest angle of quadrilateral
    \[3\times 20{}^\circ =60{}^\circ \]
    Now, smallest angle of triangle \[=\frac{2}{3}\times 60{}^\circ =40{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \]Largest angle of triangle \[=2\times 40{}^\circ =80{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \]Second largest angle of triangle
    \[=180{}^\circ -(80{}^\circ +40{}^\circ )\]
    \[=180{}^\circ -120{}^\circ =60{}^\circ \]
    \[\therefore \]Required sum \[=120{}^\circ +60{}^\circ =180{}^\circ \]
