The two corresponding angles formed by the intersection of two parallel lines by a transversal are \((3x - 20^\circ)\) and \((5x - 60^\circ)\). Then, the value of \((4x + 30^\circ)\) is :

  • A.150°
  • B.90°
  • C.110°
  • D.130°

Answer: C

The value of \((4x + 30^\circ)\) is 110°.

Corresponding angles formed by a transversal across parallel lines are equal:

\[ \begin{aligned} 3x - 20^\circ &= 5x - 60^\circ \\ 2x &= 40^\circ \\ x &= 20^\circ \end{aligned} \]

So \(4x + 30^\circ = 80^\circ + 30^\circ = 110^\circ\). Treating the angles as supplementary instead (adding to 180°) gives x = 32.5° and a different value.
