The interior angles of a polygon are in A.P. if the smallest angle be 120 degree and the common difference be 5 degree then the number of sides of the polygon is?

Expert Answer
Smallest angle = 120°
Common difference = d = 5
A.P. is 120, 125, 130,……..
The sum of interior angles of a polygon = 180(n - 2)
Hence Sum of n terms of an A.P. = 180(n - 2)
n/2 {2 × 120+(n - 1)5} = 180(n-2)
5n2 - 125n + 720 = 0
n2 - 25n + 144 = 0
n = 9 or 16
hence number of sides can be 9 or 16.
Hence, the correct option is c.
