D.Hence three angles of the triangle are $30{}^\circ ,60{}^\circ ,90{}^\circ .$

Answer 1

Hint:Convert all the units in degrees first so that there will be no confusion. Then use the concept given by “The sum of three angles of a triangle is always $180{}^\circ$” , you will get the value of ‘x’. Then put the value of ‘x’ in all angles to get the final answer.

Complete step by step answer:
As we have given the angles of a triangle therefore we will write the given angles with using some notations therefore the given data can be written as,
$\angle A=\dfrac{2x}{3}grad$, $\angle B=\dfrac{3x}{2}degrees$, And $\angle C=\dfrac{\pi x}{75}radians$
As we have asked to find all the angles in degrees therefore we will convert all the angles in degrees as follows,
Consider,
$\angle A=\dfrac{2x}{3}grad$
To convert the angle from grad to degrees we have to multiply the angle by $\dfrac{180}{200}$, therefore by multiplying $\angle A$ by $\dfrac{180}{200}$ in the above equation we will get,
$\therefore \angle A=\left( \dfrac{2x}{3}\times \dfrac{180}{200} \right)Degrees$
$\therefore \angle A=\dfrac{6x}{10}Degrees,$
$\therefore \angle A=\dfrac{3x}{5}Degrees$ …………………………………………………………………… (1)
As the $\angle B$ is already in degrees therefore there is no need of conversion, therefore we will get,
$\angle B=\dfrac{3x}{2}Degrees$ ……………………………………………………………………... (2)
Also consider,
$\angle C=\dfrac{\pi x}{75}radians$
To convert radians to degrees we have to multiply the above angle by $\dfrac{180}{\pi }$. Therefore by multiplying the above equation by $\dfrac{180}{\pi }$, we will get,
$\angle C=\left( \dfrac{\pi x}{75}\times \dfrac{180}{\pi } \right)Degrees$
$\therefore \angle C=\left( \dfrac{x}{75}\times 180 \right)Degrees$
$\therefore \angle C=\dfrac{12x}{5}Degrees$ ……………………………………………………………….. (3)
As we have converted all the angles in degrees therefore by using the concept given below we have to find the value of ‘x’ so that we can find the angles,
Concept:
The sum of three angles of a triangle is always $180{}^\circ$
As $\angle A$, $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ are the angles of a triangle therefore according to concept given above the sum of these angles will be $180{}^\circ$ therefore we can write,
$\therefore \angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180{}^\circ$
If we substitute the values of equation (1), equation (2) and equation (3) in the above equation we will get,
$\therefore \left( \dfrac{3x}{5} \right)Degrees+\left( \dfrac{3x}{2} \right)Degrees+\left( \dfrac{12x}{5} \right)Degrees=180Degrees$
$\therefore \dfrac{3x}{5}+\dfrac{3x}{2}+\dfrac{12x}{5}=180$
$\therefore \dfrac{3x}{2}+\dfrac{3x}{5}+\dfrac{12x}{5}=180$
$\therefore \dfrac{3x}{2}+\dfrac{15x}{5}=180$
$\therefore \dfrac{15x+30x}{10}=180$
$\therefore \dfrac{45x}{10}=180$
$\therefore x=180\times \dfrac{10}{45}$
$\therefore x=20\times \dfrac{10}{5}$
$\therefore x=4\times 10$
$\therefore x=40{}^\circ$ ……………………………………………………………….. (4)
Now if we put the value of equation (4) in equation (1) we will get,
$\therefore \angle A=\dfrac{3\times 40}{5}Degrees$
$\therefore \angle A=\left( 3\times 8 \right){}^\circ$
$\therefore \angle A=24{}^\circ$ ………………………………………………………….. (5)
Also we will put the value of equation (4) in equation (2) therefore we will get,
$\angle B=\dfrac{3\times 40}{2}Degrees$
$\therefore \angle B=\left( 3\times 20 \right){}^\circ$
$\therefore \angle B=60{}^\circ$ …………………………………………………………. (6)
Likewise we will put the value of equation (4) in equation (3), therefore we will get,
$\therefore \angle C=\dfrac{12\times 40}{5}Degrees$
$\therefore \angle C=\left( 12\times 8 \right){}^\circ$
$\therefore \angle C=96{}^\circ$ ……………………………………………………………. (7)
From equation (5), equation (6) and equation (7) we can write the final answer as,
The three angles of a triangle in degrees are $24{}^\circ$, $60{}^\circ$, $96{}^\circ$.
Therefore the correct answer is option (b).

Note: Do remember to convert all angles in one unit before adding them (prefer in degrees as it reduces the calculations) otherwise you will definitely get a wrong answer.
