smallest angles of the quadrilateral?
A. 940
B. 960
C. 820
D. 890
Solution (B)
Let the angles are 13x0,9x0 and 5x0
13x0 + 9x0 +5x + 360 = 3600
27x = 3600 - 360 = 3240
x = 120

angles are = 1560, 1080, 600, 360,

.˙. difference = 1560 - 600 = 960

Solution (B)

A's capital = 9 × 500

= 4500

B's capital = 6 ×x = 6x

D. 16 years
Solution (D)
25 × 14 + 25 × 12 + 15 × x = 890
350 + 300 + 15x = 890
650 + 15x = 890
15x = 890 - 650 = 240
x = 16 years
