Question -

In the figure, p is a transversal to lines m and n, ∠2 = 120° and ∠5 = 60°. Prove that m || n.



Answer -

Given : p is a transversal to the lines m and n
Forming ∠l, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7 and ∠8
∠2 = 120°, and ∠5 = 60°
To prove : m || n
Proof : ∠2 + ∠3 = 180° (Linear pair)
⇒ 120°+ ∠3 = 180°
⇒ ∠3 = 180°- 120° = 60°
But ∠5 = 60°
∴ ∠3 = ∠5
But there are alternate angles
∴ m || n
