Answer: B. 180°.

Step-by-step explanation: In the attached figure, GHIJ is a square and ABCDEF is a regular hexagon having common centre O.

A square is symmetric at a rotational angle of 90° and a regular hexagon is symmetric at a rotational angle of 60°.

So, to bring the image of the square and the hexagon back to the previous position, we need to find the LCM of both the angles.

LCM(60°,90°)=180°.

So, the correct option is B. 180°.

So the problem ask on which of the following among the choices is the angle of rotation will the image coincide with the pre image if the square GHIJ shares a common center with regular hexagon ABCDEF on a coordinate place and the best angle of rotation would be letter B. 180 degrees
