| A polygon has 5 diagonals and one angle of that polygon is
. If the remaining angles are in the ratio 1:2:3:4, then the size of the greatest angle is

A.
B.
C.
D.
Right Answer is: D
SOLUTION
let number of sides be n, then
No. of diagonals =
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒ n(n-5) + 2(n-5) = 0
⇒ (n+2)(n-5) = 0
⇒ n = 5, n = -2
But number of sides cannot equal to -2.
Hence the given polygon is a Pentagon.
One angle of the pentagon is .
Since, the remaining angles are in the ratio 1:2:3:4.
Let the remaining angles be x, 2x, 3x and 4x.
But the sum of interior angles of a pentagon =
According to question
⇒
⇒
⇒
Hence the angles of the pentagon are and
.
Hence the size of greatest angles =
