    Corresponding angle for science = 80°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 540

    ∴ 80° ≡
    540
    × 80 = 120
    360

    Correct Option: B

    Corresponding angle for science = 80°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 540

    Difference of corresponding angles = 90° – 70° = 20°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 540

    ∴ 20° ≡
    540
    × 20 = 30
    360

    Correct Option: A

    Difference of corresponding angles = 90° – 70° = 20°
    ∵ 360° ≡ 540

    ∴ 20° ≡
    540
    × 20 = 30
