Solution

Define alternate angles and identify the alternate angles from the figure

Definition : When a transversal crosses a pair of parallel lines ,the pair of angles formed on the inner side of the parallel lines but on the opposite side of the transversal are called alternate interior angles.

These angles are always equal. From the figure , 1,4 are a pair of alternate interior angles.
