Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Draw a line n passing through O and parallel to l and m. Since, $ l||n, $ $ \angle 1+100{}^\circ =180{}^\circ $ [sum of the interior angles on the same side of the transversal]
$ \Rightarrow $ $ \angle 1=80{}^\circ $ Since, $ n||m, $ $ \angle 2=30{}^\circ $ [alternate angles] Now, $ AOB=\angle 1+\angle 2 $ $ =(80+30{}^\circ )=110{}^\circ $ But $ \angle AOB=(X+5){}^\circ =110{}^\circ $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=(110-5){}^\circ =105{}^\circ $
