Solution

Let the angles of a quadrilateral be (3x)°, (4x)°​, (5x)° and (6x)°.
Sum of all the angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.

∴ 3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 360°
⇒ 18x = 360°
⇒ x = 36018
⇒ x = 20°
So,
3x = 60°
4x = 80°
​ 5x = 100°
​ 6x = 120°
The largest of these angles is 120°​.
So, the correct answer is given in option (b).
