Explanation : (B) From the given information, we can form the figure as,
Now, in △ABE, AB = AE (As these are the sides of regular pentagon)
So, from base angle theorem, we know
∠BEA = ∠EBA
∠BAE = 1800 (As we know each angle of regular pentagon is 1800.)
Now, from angle sum property in △ABE,
∠BEA + ∠EBA + ∠BAE = 1800,
So, ∠BEA + ∠BEA + 1800 = 1800,
2∠BEA = 720
∠BEA = 360
∠BEA = ∠EBA 360 ....... (i)
Similarly, in △DEC,
∠CED = ∠ECD 360 ....... (ii)
And in △CDB,
∠BDC = ∠DBC = 360 ....... (iii)
Then,
∠DEA = ∠BEA + ∠CEB + ∠CED
We know, ∠DEA = 1800(Angle of regular pentagon)
Then, 360 + ∠CEB + 360 = 1080
∠CEB = 360
Similarly, ∠CEB = ∠CAD
= ∠ADB = ∠ACE
= ∠DBE = 360
And sum of all 5 vertical angles of star = 360 + 360 + 360 + 360 + 360 = 1800
Explanation : (C) Desired probability lies in the range of 1-7 only.
Then, again from 8, remainder starts with a count 1, 2 ....
Total favourable cases are 7 and in only 1 case remainder is 1. Thus, probability that the remainder is 1 = 1/7.
∴ The probability that the remainder is not 1
Explanation : (C) A proposition is a statement which can be either true or false but not both. So, (A), (B) and (C) are propositions but (C) is a question.
