  1. (i) 50°+ x =120° [Exterior angle property of a ∆ ]
    ⇒ x =120°- 50° = 70°
    Now, 50° + x + y =180° [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
    ⇒ 50° + 70°+ y = 180°
    ⇒ 120° + y = 180°
    ⇒ y =180° – 120° = 60°

    (ii) y = 80° ……….(i) [Vertically opposite angle]
    Now, 50° + x + y =180° [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
    ⇒ 50° + 80° + y = 180° [From equation (i)]
    ⇒ 130° + y =180°
    ⇒ y =180° – 130° = 50°

    (iii) 50°+ 60°= x [Exterior angle property of a ∆ ]
    ⇒ x =110°
    Now 50° + 60°+ y =180° [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
    ⇒ 110° + y =180°
    ⇒ y = 180° – 110°
    ⇒ y = 70°

    (iv) x = 60° ……….(i) [Vertically opposite angle]
    Now, 30° + x + y =180° [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
    ⇒ 50° + 60° + y =180° [From equation (i)]
    ⇒ 90° + y =180°
    ⇒ y =180° – 90° = 90°

    (v) y = 90° ……….(i) [Vertically opposite angle]
    Now, y + x + x =180° [Angle sum property of a ∆ ]
    ⇒ 90°+ 2x =180° [From equation (i)]
    ⇒ 2x = 180°- 90°
    ⇒ 2x = 90°
    ⇒ x = 90°/2 = 45°

    (vi) x = y ……….(i) [Vertically opposite angle]
    Now, x + x + y =180° [Angle sum property of a  ]
    ⇒ 2x + x =180° [From equation (i)]
    ⇒ 3x = 180°
    ⇒ 180° / 3 = 60°
