Question

Which angles form a linear pair? Helppp

Answer 1

Given:

Pairs of angles in options.

To find:

The angles that form  a linear pair.

Solution:

Linear pair: Two angles are called linear pair if they are lie on the same side of a straight line and their sum is 180 degrees.

In the given figure, we have two straight lines MO and NP.

Linear pairs for line MO are

$\angle MRN$ and $\angle NRO$

$\angle MRP$ and $\angle ORP$

$\angle LRM$ and $\angle LRO$

Linear pairs for line NP are

$\angle ORP$ and $\angle NRO$

$\angle MRP$ and $\angle MRN$

$\angle PRL$ and $\angle LRN$

So, pairs of angles in options A, B and D are not linear because they are not lie on the same side of a straight line.

Therefore, the correct option is C.
