  1. Given: Lines XY and MN intersects at O,
    ∠POY = 90° and a:b = 2:3
    Let, a = 2x, therefore b = 3x
    Here, ∠XOM + ∠POM + ∠POY = 180° [∵ XOY is a straight line]
    ⇒ 3x + 2x + 90° = 180° [∵ ∠POY = 90°]
    ⇒ 5x + 90° = 180°
    ⇒ 5x = 180° – 90° = 90°
    ⇒ x = 180°/5 = 18°
    Hence, ∠XOM = 3x = 3 × 18° = 54° and
    ∠POM = 2x = 2 × 18° = 36°
    Here, ∠XON = ∠MOY
    ⇒ c = ∠POM + ∠POY [∵ Vertically Opposite Angles]
    ⇒ c = 36° + 90° = 126° [∵ ∠XON = c and ∠MOY = ∠POM + ∠POY ]
