MP Board Class 9th Maths Solutions Chapter 6 Lines and Angles Ex 6.1
Question 1.
 In the given fig., lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70° and ∠BOD = 40°, find ∠BOE and reflex ∠COE.
 Solution:
 Given
 ∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70°
 ∠BOD = 40°
 To find:
 ∠BOE and Reflex ∠COE
 
 Calculation:
 ∠BOD
 = ∠AOC = 40° (VOA’s)
 ∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70°
 40° + ∠BOE = 70°
 ∴ ∠BOE = 30°
 ∠AOC + ∠COE + ∠BOE = 180°
 (∴ Angles on the same line)
 70° + ∠COE = 180°
 ∴ ∠COE – 110°
 Reflex ∠COE = 360° – ∠COE
 = 360° – 110° = 250°
Question 2.
 In Fig. below, lines XY and MN intersect at O. If ∠POY = 90° and a : b = 2 : 3, find c.
 
 Solution:
 Given
 ∠POY= 90°
 a : b = 2 : 3
 To find. ∠C
 Calculation:
 a = 2x
 b = 3x
 b + a + 90° = 180° (∴ Angles on the same line)
 3x + 2x + 90° = 180°
 5x = 90°
 x = 18°
 a = 2 x 18° = 36°
 b = 3 x 18° = 54°
 b + c = 180 (LPA’s)
 c = 180° – 54° = 126°

Question 3.
 In Fig. below, if ∠PQR = ∠PRQ, then prove that ∠PQS = ∠PRT.
 
 Solution:
 Given
 ∠PQR = ∠PRQ
 To prove:
 ∠PQS = ∠PRT
 Proof:
 ∠PQS + ∠PQR = 180° (LPA’s) …..(1)
 ∠PRT + ∠PRQ = 180° (LPA’s)
 => ∠PRT + ∠PQR = 180° (∴ ∠PRQ = ∠PQR) …(2)
 From (1) and (2), we get
 ∠PQS + ∠PQR = ∠PRT + ∠PQR
 ∠PQS = ∠PRT Proved.
Question 4.
 In Fig. below, if x + y = w + z, then prove that AOB is a line.
 
 Solution:
 Given
 x + y = w + z
 To prove
 AOB is a line
 Proof:
 x + y + z + w = 360° (Complete angle)
 x + y + x + y = 360° (∴ w + z = x + y)
 2(x + y) = 360°
 x + y = 180° (LPA’s)
 AOB is a line. Proved
Question 5.
 In Fig. below. POQ is a line. Ray OR is perpendicular to line PQ. OS is another ray lying between rays OP and OR. Prove that
 ∠ROS = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠QOS – ∠POS).
 Solution:
 Given
 POQ is a line, OR ⊥ PQ
 
 To prove:
 ∠ROS = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠QOS – ∠POS).
 Proof:
 ∠QOS = ∠QOR + ∠ROS
 ∠QOS = 90° + ∠ROS ….(1)
 ∠POS = ∠POR – ∠ROS
 ∠POS = 90° – ∠ROS …..(2)
 Subtracting (1) and (2), we get
 ∠QOS – ∠POS = 90° + ∠ROS – (90° – ∠ROS)
 = 90° + ∠ROS – 90° + ∠ROS
 ∠QOS – ∠POS = 2 ∠ROS
 ∠ROS = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (∠QOS – ∠POS)
Question 6.
 It is given that ∠XYZ = 64° and XY is produced to point P. Draw a figure from the given information. If ray YQ bisects ∠ZYP, find ∠XYQ and reflex ∠QYP.
 Solution:
 Given
 ∠XYZ = 64°
 To find:
 ∠XYQ and Reflex ∠QYP
 
 Calculation:
 ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ + ∠QYP
 = 180° (∴ Angles on the same line)
 64° + x + x = 180°
 2x = 180° – 64° = 116°
 x = 58°
 ∠XYQ = ∠XYZ + ∠ZYQ
 = 64° + 58° = 122°
 Reflex ∠QYP = 360° – 58° = 302°
Transversal:
 A line which intersects two or more lines at distinct points is called a transversal.
 
Angles and their Name formed by Transversal:
 Line intersects line m and n at point P and Q respectively. So line l is a transversal ftk lines m and n. Observe that four angles are formed at each of the points P and Q. Name these angles ∠1, ∠2, ∠3, ∠4, ∠5, ∠6, ∠7 and ∠8. There are two type of angles: exterior angles and interior angles as shown in Fig. above.
(a) ∠1, ∠2, ∠7 and ∠8 are Exterior angles and
 (b) ∠3, ∠4, ∠5 and ∠6 are Interior angles
Same pairs of angles are formed when a transversal intersects two lines. These are given below:
(a) Corresponding angles:
- ∠1 and ∠5
- ∠2 and ∠6
- ∠4 and ∠8
- ∠3 and ∠7
(b) Alternate interior angles:
- ∠4 and ∠6
- ∠3 and ∠5
(c) Alternate exterior angles:
- ∠1 and ∠7
- ∠2 and ∠8
(d) Interior angles on the same side of the transversal:
- ∠4 and ∠5
- ∠3 and ∠6

Axiom 3:
 If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then each pair of corresponding angles is equal.
 
 If AB ∥ CD and l is the transversal.
 ∠1 = ∠5; ∠4 = ∠8
 (Corresponding angles)
 ∠2 = ∠6; ∠3 = ∠7
Axiom 4:
 If a transversal intersects two lines such that a pair of correspond-ing angles are equal, then the two lines are parallel to each other.
 
 In Fig., AB and CD are two lines, intersected by transversal ‘l’ such that ∠1 = ∠2 (corresponding angles,) then AB ∥ CD.
