    The smallest angle of a triangle is equal to two third of the smallest angle of a quadrilateral. The ratio between the angles of quadrilateral is\[1:2:3:4\]. The largest angle of the triangle is five times its smallest angle. Find the second largest angle of the triangle.

    A)  \[36{}^\circ \]                         

    B)  \[72{}^\circ \]

    C)  \[24{}^\circ \]                         

    D)  \[48{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Let the angles of quadrilateral are x, 2x, 3x and 4x respectively. So, \[x+2x+3x+4x=360{}^\circ \] \[10x=360{}^\circ \] \[x=360{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \]   Smallest angle of triangle \[=\,\,\,\,\,\frac{2}{3}\times 36{}^\circ =24{}^\circ \] Largest angle of triangle \[=5\times 24{}^\circ =~120{}^\circ \] \[\therefore \]  Second largest angle of triangle \[=\,\,\,\,180{}^\circ -(24{}^\circ +120{}^\circ )\] \[=\,\,\,\,180{}^\circ -144{}^\circ \] \[=\,\,\,\,36{}^\circ \]
