In the figure above, line \(\ell\) is parallel to line \(k\). Transversals \(m \) and \(n\) intersect at point \(P\) on \(\ell\) and intersect \(k\) at points \(R\) and \(Q\), respectively. Point \(Y\) is on \(k\), points \(S\) and \(T \) are on \(\ell\), the measure of \(∠PRY\) is 140°, and the measure of \(∠QPR\) is 100°. Which of the following angles have measure 40°?


I. ∠PQR
II. ∠QPS
III. ∠RPT

A. I only
B. III only
C. I and II only
D. I and III only
E. I, II and III

Should be E .
Since the lines are parallel and we have a transversal, the below properties will be applied
1. Sum of interior angles = 180
2. Alternate interior angles are equal
3. Corresponding angles are equal

Angle PRY + Angle PRQ = 180
Angle PRQ = 40

Angle QPR + Angle PRQ + Angle PQR = 180
Angle PQR = 40

Angle QPS and Angle PQR are alternate interior angles and hence equal = 40
Angle RPT and Angle PRQ are alternate interior angles and hence equal = 40

IMO (E)

The sum of all angles in a triangle = \(180^{\circ}\)
\(\angle\)QPR = \(180^{\circ}\)

\(\angle\)PQR = \(40^{\circ}\)
\(\angle\)PRQ = \(40^{\circ}\)


We know that \(\angle\)PRQ and \(\angle\) RPT are alternate angles and both equal to \(40^{\circ}\)

So all angles are equal to \(40^{\circ}\)

Ans E
