  1. In the adjoining figure, AB || CD, t is the traversal, EG and FG are the bisectors of ∠BEE and ∠DFE respectively, then ∠EGF is equal to :


    1. 90°
    2. 75°
    3. 80°
    4. 110°
    5. None of these
Correct Option: A

AB || CD and t transversal intersects them at E and F
∠BEF + ∠EFD = 180° (co-interior angles)

1∠BEF+ 1 ∠EFD= 180/2
22

⇒ ∠FEG + ∠EFG = 90°
In Δ GEF
∠EGF + ∠FEG + ∠EFG = 180°
∴ ∠EGF + 90° = 180°
∴ ∠EGF = 90°.
The above result can be restated as :
If two parallel lines are cut by a traversal, then the bisectors of the interior angles on the same side of the traversal intersect each other at right angles.
