    In parallelogram PQRS, ∠Q = (4x - 5)° and ∠S = (3x + 10)°. Calculate : ∠Q and ∠R.
    Ans : In parallelogram PQRS,
    ∠Q = (4x - 5)° and ∠S = (3x + 10)°

    opposite ∠s of //gm are equal.
    ∠Q = ∠S
    4x - 5 = 3x + 10
    ⇒ 4x - 3x = 10 + 5
    ⇒ x = 15
    ∠Q = 4x - 5 = 4×15 - 5 = 55°
    Also ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
    ⇒ 55° + ∠R = 180°
    ∠R = 180° - 55° = 125°
    ∠Q = 55° ; ∠R = 125°
