Solution

The correct options are
A 0
C 180


The ray PM can be drawn at any angle to the line segment PQ other than angles 0 and 180.
If the ray PM is drawn at an obtuse angle to PQ, PP4Q and PP5Q become so small and makes the constructions difficult. So we generally draw the ray at an acute angle.
When the ray is drawn at angles 0 and 180 to PQ, there will be no triangle formed with the points on ray PM and segment PQ. So while dividing a segment in a given ratio, we can not draw the ray at angles 0 and 180.
