1.

In the figure above, the angles a,b,c,d and e are consecutive integers in degrees, a=__________A. `70^(@)`B. `74^(@)`C. Either (a) or (b)D. Neither (a) nor (b)

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`a^(@),b^(@),c^(@),d^(@), and e^(@)` can be in ascending order or in descending order.
`:. B=a+1, c=a+2,d=a+3, and e=a+4 ro b=a-1, c=a-2, d=a-3, and e=a-4`
`:. a+b+c+d+e+=5a+10 or 5a-10`
Sum of the angles around a point is `360^(@)`.
`:. a^(@)+b^(@)+c^(@)+d^(@)+e^(@)=360^(@)`
`:. (5a+10)^(@)=360^(@) or (5a-10)^(@)=360^(@)`
`:. a^(@)=70^(@) or 74^(@)`
Hence, the correct option is ( c).
