Solution

Let us draw the following diagram showing two straight lines AD and BC intersecting each other at a point O.

Now, let us consider each statement one by one:

(i) When two lines intersect adjacent angles are complementary.
This statement is incorrect
Explanation:
As the adjacent angles form a linear pair and they are supplementary.

 (ii) When two lines intersect adjacent angles are supplementary.
This statement is correct.
Explanation:
As the adjacent angles form a linear pair and they are supplementary.
(iii) When two lines intersect opposite angles are equal.
This statement is correct.
Explanation:
As the vertically opposite angles are equal.

(iv) When two lines intersect opposite angles are supplementary.
This statement is incorrect.
Explanation:
As the vertically opposite angles are equal
Thus, out of all, (ii) and (iii) are correct.
Hence, the correct choice is (b).

11. In Fig. 8.126, which of the following statements must be true?
(i) a + b = d + c
(ii) a + c + e = 180°
(iii) b + f = c + e

(a) (i) only
(b) (ii) only
(c) (iii) only
(d) (ii) and (iii) only

Solution

(i) Statement: a+b = d+c

This statement is incorrect.

Explanation: We have, a and dare vertically opposite angles.

Therefore, a=d ---(i) 

Similarly, band e are vertically opposite angles. 

Therefore, 

b=e ---(ii)

On adding (i) and (ii), we get 

a+b=d+e 

Thus, this statement is incorrect.

(ii) Statement a+c+e = 180° 

This statement is correct.

Explanation: As a°, f° and e° form a linear pair, therefore their sum must be supplementary.

a+f+e = 180° ---(iii)

Also f° and c° are vertically opposite angles, therefore, these must be equal.

f =c 

Putting f=c in (iii), we get:

a+c+e=180°

(iii) Statement: b+ f =a+e 

This statement is correct.

Explanation:  As a°, f° and b° form a linear pair, therefore their sum must be supplementary.

a+ f +b=180° ---(iv) 

Also c°,d° and e° form a linear pair, therefore their sum must be supplementary.

c+d+e=180° ---(v)

On comparing (iv) and (v), we get:

a+ f +b=c+d+e

Also a° and d° are vertically opposite angles, therefore, these must be equal.

Therefore,

a= d

Substituting the above equation in (vi), we get:

a+f+b = c+d+e 

a+b+f = c+a+e

b+f = a+e

Thus, out of all, (ii) and (iii) are correct.
