Maths NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Chapter 6 Exercise 6.2

 NCERT Solutions Class 9 Chapter 6 Ex 6.2 

The solutions to exercise 6.2 (from class 9th's maths NCERT book) are given below. The exercise has 6 questions which have been explained thoroughly with proper reasoning. 


50+ x = 1800 (Linear Pair)

x= 1300

y= 1300 (vertically opposite angles)

The measure of x and y is equal, and that is only possible if AB//CD because only then they will be treated as alternate angles. 

Given: AB//CD and CD//EF

Let y = 3a and z =7a

AB//CD and CD//EF, therefore AB//EF

x= z = 7a (Alternate angles) … (1)

AB//CD

 x + y = 1800 (interior angles are supplementary)

Using (1)

7a + 3a = 1800 

10a = 1800

a= 180

Therefore x = 7a => 7 x 18 => 1260

AB//CD 

GED = AGE= 1260 (alternate angles)

FEC = 900

GED can be written as:

GED = GEF +FED

1260 = GEF + 900

GEF = 360

AGE + FGE = 1800 (Linear Pair)

1260 + FGE = 1800

FGE = 1800 – 1260

FGE = 540

Extend PQ to form PU and let PQ intersect RS at O


SOQ = TSQ (Alternate angles)

SOQ= 1300


SOQ + ROQ = 1800(Linear Pair)

130 +∠ROQ = = 1800

ROQ = = 500


PQR + RQO = 1800 (Linear Pair)

1100 +RQO = 1800

RQO = 700


In triangle QRO

RQO + ROQ + QRO = 1800 (Angle sum property of a triangle)

700 + 500 + QRO = 1800

QRO = 600

QRO can also be written as QRS. Therefore QRS = 600

Alternate method

As per the hint provided by NCERT


Draw a line XY through R, such that XY //PQ, and XY//ST


XRQ + RQP = 1800 (Interior angles are supplementary) 

XRQ + 1100 = 1800

XRQ = 700


Similarly YRS + RST = 1800 (Interior angles are supplementary) 

YRS + 1300 = 1800

YRS = 500


Now XRQ + YRS + QRS = 1800

700 + 500 + QRS = 1800

QRS = 600

AB//CD, therefore x= QPA = 500 (Alternate angles)

PRQ + PRD = 1800 (Linear Pair)

PRQ + PRD = 1800

PRQ + 1270 = 1800

PRQ = 530


In triangle PQR

PRQ + x+ y = 1800 (Sum angle property of a triangle)

530 + 500 + y = 1800

1030 + y= 1800

y= 770



ABN1 = N1BC (Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection)

Similarly BCN2 = N2 CD (Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection)

But BN1// CN2

Therefore, N1BC = BCN2 (Alternate angles) 

Multiplying 2 on both sides

2∠N1BC = 2BCN2

N1BC+ N1BC = BCN2 + BCN2

Using (1) & (2)

ABN1 + N1BC = BCN2 + N2 CD

∠ABC = B CD

But this is only possible if AB//CD (As only in that case they will be treated as alternate equal angles)
