In the adjoining figure, if l ∥ m then the value of x is

- (a)65°
- (b)105°
- (c)115°
- (d)125°

⇒ Since l ∥ m,
∠BOD = ∠AOC = 65° (Vertically opposite angles are equal)
Now, ∠BOD and x are co-interior angles, so they must be supplementary.
⇒ ∠BOD + x = 180°
⇒ 65° + x = 180°
⇒ x = 180° − 65° = 115°.
Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
