  1. If the three angles of a triangle are : (x + 15°), [ (6x / 5) + 6° ] and [ (2x / 3) + 30° ] , then the triangle is:
    1. isosceles
    2. right angled
    3. equilateral
    4. scalene
Correct Option: C

As we know that, Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180°

∴ x + 15° +
6x
+ 6° +
2x
+ 30° = 180°
53

⇒ x +
6x
+
2x
+ 51° = 180°
53

15x + 18x + 10x
= 180° - 51° = 129°
15

⇒ 43x = 129 × 15
⇒ x =
129 × 15
= 45°
43

∴ The angles of triangle are :
x + 15° = 45° + 15° = 60°
6x
+ 6° =
6 × 45
+ 6° = 60° and
2x
+ 30° =
2 × 45
+ 30° = 60°

It is an equilateral triangle.
