We know that the sum of linear pair are always equal to 180°
POY + a + b = 180°
Putting the value of POY = 90° (as given in the question) we get,
a + b = 90°
Now, it is given that a : b = 2 : 3
Let a be 2x and b be 3x
∴ 2x + 3x = 90°
Solving this we get
5x = 90°
x = 18°
∴ a = 2 × 18° = 36°
Similarly, b can be calculated and the value will be
b = 3×18° = 54°
From the diagram, b + c also forms a straight angle so,
b + c = 180°
c+54° = 180°
∴ c = 126°
