Step-by-step solution for: RD Sharma Solutions for Class 7 Maths Chapter 14 - Lines And ...
Let's solve each of the six angle problems in Fig 21 step by step. These are all geometry problems involving angles at a point, straight lines, and vertically opposite angles.
---
Given:
- A straight line AC with point O on it.
- ∠AOB = 60°
- ∠BOC = x°
Since AO and OC form a straight line, the total angle is 180°.
So:
$$
∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180^\circ \\
60^\circ + x^\circ = 180^\circ \\
x = 180 - 60 = 120^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: x = 120°
---
Given:
- A straight line PR with point O on it.
- ∠POQ = 3x°
- ∠QOR = 2x°
These two angles make up a straight line:
$$
3x + 2x = 180^\circ \\
5x = 180^\circ \\
x = \frac{180}{5} = 36^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: x = 36°

Given:
- A straight line LM with point O on it.
- ∠POL = 35°
- ∠MON = 60°
- ∠PON = x°
Note: Points P, O, N form an angle x° between them.
But we need to consider that ∠POL + ∠PON + ∠NOM = 180° (since they lie on a straight line).
Wait — actually, from the diagram:
- From left to right: L → O → M is a straight line.
- Ray OP makes 35° with LO.
- Ray ON makes 60° with OM.
- So, the angle between OP and ON is x°.
So the full straight line is:
$$
∠LOP + ∠PON + ∠NOM = 180^\circ \\
35^\circ + x^\circ + 60^\circ = 180^\circ \\
x = 180 - 95 = 85^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: x = 85°

This is a point O where multiple rays meet.
We are given:
- ∠COA = 83°
- ∠AOB = 47°
- ∠BOE = 75°
- ∠DOE = 92°
- We are to find x°, which is ∠COB?
Wait — looking carefully: The angle marked as x° is ∠COB.
Let’s label the angles around point O.
From the diagram:
- ∠COA = 83°
- ∠AOB = 47°
- So ∠COB = ∠COA + ∠AOB = 83° + 47° = 130°
But wait — are these adjacent? Yes, if C-O-A-O-B are in order.
But let's check the full circle.
We can also use the fact that sum of angles around a point is 360°.
List known angles:
- ∠COD = ?
- ∠DOE = 92°
- ∠EOB = 75°
- ∠BOA = 47°
- ∠AOC = 83°
Wait — but ∠COA = 83°, so from C to A is 83°.
Now, going around the point O:
Let’s go clockwise:
1. ∠COA = 83°
2. ∠AOB = 47°
3. ∠BOE = 75°
4. ∠EOD = 92°
5. ∠DOC = ?
Wait — but we don’t know ∠DOC yet.
But we are told that ∠COB = x°
From earlier: ∠COB = ∠COA + ∠AOB = 83° + 47° = 130°
So x = 130°
But let’s verify this with full circle:
Sum of all angles around point O should be 360°.
Let’s compute:
- ∠COA = 83°
- ∠AOB = 47°
- ∠BOE = 75°
- ∠EOD = 92°
- ∠DOC = ? → But we don’t have D to C directly.
Wait — maybe the angle between D and C is missing.
Alternatively, perhaps ∠DOC is not needed.
But if we assume the rays are in order: C, A, B, E, D, back to C.
Then:
- ∠COA = 83°
- ∠AOB = 47° → total so far: 130°
- ∠BOE = 75° → total: 205°
- ∠EOD = 92° → total: 297°
- Then ∠DOC = 360° - 297° = 63°
But we were asked for ∠COB, which is ∠COA + ∠AOB = 83 + 47 = 130°
✔ Answer: x = 130°

At point O, four rays: R, Q, P, S.
Angles given:
- ∠ROQ = 2x°
- ∠QOP = x°
- ∠POS = 2x°
- ∠SOR = 3x°
All these angles go around point O.
So sum of angles around a point = 360°
Add them:
$$
2x + x + 2x + 3x = 8x = 360^\circ \\
x = \frac{360}{8} = 45^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: x = 45°

Two intersecting lines forming an "X" shape.
One angle is 105°, another is 3x°.
They are vertically opposite angles, or adjacent?
Looking at the diagram:
- The angle marked 105° and 3x° are adjacent angles on a straight line (they form a linear pair).
So:
$$
105^\circ + 3x^\circ = 180^\circ \\
3x = 180 - 105 = 75 \\
x = 25^\circ
$$
Alternatively, if they were vertically opposite, they would be equal, but 105 ≠ 3x unless x=35, but then 3x=105, so that could be.
Wait — let’s look carefully.
In figure (vi), two lines cross at O.
One angle is labeled 105°, and the opposite one is labeled 3x°.
If they are vertically opposite, then:
$$
3x = 105 \Rightarrow x = 35^\circ
$$
But the angle next to 105° is 3x°, and since they are adjacent on a straight line, they must add to 180°.
So:
$$
105 + 3x = 180 \Rightarrow 3x = 75 \Rightarrow x = 25
$$
But then the opposite angle would be 3x = 75°, and the other vertical angle would be 105°, which matches.
So yes, 105° and 3x° are adjacent, forming a straight line.
Therefore:
$$
3x = 180 - 105 = 75 \Rightarrow x = 25^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: x = 25°

35^\circ + x^\circ + 60^\circ = 180^\circ \\
x = 180 - 95 = 85^\circ

- ∠AOB = 47°
- ∠BOE = 75°
- ∠DOE = 92°
- We are to find x°, which is ∠COB?
Wait — looking carefully: The angle marked as x° is ∠COB.
Let’s label the angles around point O.
From the diagram:
- ∠COA = 83°
- ∠AOB = 47°
- So ∠COB = ∠COA + ∠AOB = 83° + 47° = 130°
But wait — are these adjacent? Yes, if C-O-A-O-B are in order.
But let's check the full circle.
We can also use the fact that sum of angles around a point is 360°.

But we are told that ∠COB = x°

Angles given:
- ∠ROQ = 2x°
- ∠QOP = x°
- ∠POS = 2x°
- ∠SOR = 3x°
All these angles go around point O.
So sum of angles around a point = 360°
Add them:
$$
2x + x + 2x + 3x = 8x = 360^\circ \\
x = \frac{360}{8} = 45^\circ

They are vertically opposite angles, or adjacent?
Looking at the diagram:
- The angle marked 105° and 3x° are adjacent angles on a straight line (they form a linear pair).
So:
$$
105^\circ + 3x^\circ = 180^\circ \\
3x = 180 - 105 = 75 \\
x = 25^\circ
$$
Alternatively, if they were vertically opposite, they would be equal, but 105 ≠ 3x unless x=35, but then 3x=105, so that could be.
Wait — let’s look carefully.
In figure (vi), two lines cross at O.
One angle is labeled 105°, and the opposite one is labeled 3x°.
If they are vertically opposite, then:
$$
3x = 105 \Rightarrow x = 35^\circ
$$
But the angle next to 105° is 3x°, and since they are adjacent on a straight line, they must add to 180°.
So:
$$
105 + 3x = 180 \Rightarrow 3x = 75 \Rightarrow x = 25
$$
But then the opposite angle would be 3x = 75°, and the other vertical angle would be 105°, which matches.
So yes, 105° and 3x° are adjacent, forming a straight line.
Therefore:
$$
3x = 180 - 105 = 75 \Rightarrow x = 25^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: x = 25°
