Given :- All are straight lines
To find x-y where x and y are angles

Lines are straight but no information about the relationship between the lines such as whether they are parallel, perpendicular etc.

i) x=20 => we don't have y - Not Sufficient

ii) y/10 is a perfect square less than 20 => y=10, 40, 90, 160 - Again Not sufficient

Combining we can multiple values for x-y => Not Sufficient

Answer - E

Hi GMATWhizTeam ,
First of all, thank you for the detailed video on GMAT traps.

My 2 cents on the answer, the lines may or may not be parallel, hence can't say for sure the exact value of x-y. Just took me less time to solve this question.

Regards, Shashank
