In the given figures below, decide whether l is parallel to m.

Solution
As we know vertically opposite angles are equal. So at the point of intersection of line l and n vertically opposite angle of 75∘ is also 75∘.
Now, n is transversal to line l and m and, 75∘+75∘=150∘ ⇒Sum of interior angles on the same side of transversal is not 180∘ ⇒l is not parallel to m because sum of angles does not obey the property of parallel lines.
