Solution
Part (i),
Angles that share a common arm, common vertex and the non common arms lie on the either side of the common arm are called adjacent angles. (∠AOE,∠EOC), (∠EOC,∠COB), (∠COB,∠BOD), (∠BOD,∠AOD) and (∠AOC,∠BOC) are five pairs of adjacent angles.
Part (ii),
The adjacent angles whose non common arms form a straight line are called linear pairs of angles. (∠AOE,∠BOE), (∠AOC,∠BOC) and (∠BOC,∠BOD) are linear pair of angles.
Part (iii),
The non-adjacent angles formed by the intersection of two lines are called vertically opposite angles.
Here two lines AB and CD intersect at point O. (∠AOD,∠COB) and (∠AOC,∠BOD) are vertically opposite angles.
