Question

In the given figure, if l₁ || l₂, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

In the given figure:

Since, therefore, the pair of corresponding angles should be equal.

That is;

Also, $\angle 1\mathrm{and}\angle 2$ are vertically opposite angles, therefore,

Since 58°, ∠2 and x form a linear pair. Therefore,

Hence, the correct choice is (b) .
