DAV Class 6 Maths Ch 11 Brain Teasers Solutions
Question 1.
A. Tick (✓) the correct answer.
(a) The opposite edges of a rectangular blackboard are:
(i) parallel
(ii) perpendicular
(iii) intersecting
(iv) none
Answer:
(i) parallel.
Parallel lines do not intersect each other.
(b) In the given figure ‘t’ is a transversal to line l and m. The angles a and b
(i) alternate angles
(ii) alternate interior angles
(iii) a linear pair
(iv) corresponding angles
Answer:
(iii) linear pair.
Linear pairs are those angles which adding together to form an angle of 180°.
(c) A pair of corresponding angles in the given figures:
(i) ∠1 and ∠6
(ii) ∠2 and ∠4
(iii) ∠3 and ∠4
(iv) ∠1 and ∠3
Answer:
(iv) ∠1 and ∠3
Corresponding angles are on the same sides of the transversal but one of the angles is on the exterior sides of the given parallel lines. Here ∠1 is in the interior while ∠3 is in the exterior of the parallel lines.
(d) In the given figure, ‘t’ is a transversal to the lines AB and CD. ∠b and ∠h are:
(i) alternate interior angles
(ii) alternate exterior angles
(iii) corresponding angles
(iv) linear pair
Answer:
(ii) alternate exterior angles
∠b and ∠h lie on the exterior of the parallel lines AB and CD but on the alternate sides of the transversal line ‘t’.
(e) In which figure given below, the angles marked are alternate angles?
Answer:
These angles lie on the alternate sides of the transversal but on the same side

Question 2.
In the given figure l ∥ m and t is transversal. Find the value of x.
Answer:
(2x + 35)° + (3x + 25)° =180°
⇒ 2x + 35° + 3x + 25° =180°
(Sum of interior angles on the same side)
⇒ 5x + 60° =180°
⇒ 5x + 60° – 60° =180° – 60°
⇒ 5x =120°
x =120° ÷ 5 = 24
