    Three of the exterior angles of a hexagon are 40°, 51 ° and 86°. If each of the remaining exterior angles is x°, find the value of x.
    Ans : Sum of exterior angles of a hexagon = 4 x 90° = 360°
    Three angles are 40°, 51° and 86°
    Sum of three angle = 40° + 51° + 86° = 177°
    Sum of other three angles = 360° - 177° = 183°
    Each angle is x°
    3x = 183°
    ⇒ x = 183/3
    Hence x = 61
