Solution

The correct option is D


Finding diagram having parallel lines cut by transversal:

Well, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal (i.e., get crossed by a third line), then not only do we notice the vertical angles and linear pairs that are subsequently formed, but the following angle pair relationships are created as well:

  • Corresponding angles are congruent
  • Alternate exterior angles are congruent
  • Alternate interior angles are congruent
  • Same side interior angles (Consecutive interior angles) sum to 180° degrees

If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, each pair of alternate interior angles are equal. If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary, i.e. they add up to 180° degrees.

From all the given fig. the option(D) interior angles are supplementary.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
