1.	In the adjoining figure, `x : y : z=5 : 4 : 6`. If XOY is a straight line, find the values of x, y and z.
Answer» Correct Answer - `x=60, y=48, z=72` Let `x=(5t)^(@), y=(4t)^(@) and z=(6t)^(@)`. `x+y+z=180^(@) implies 5t+4t+6t=180 implies 15t=180 implies t=12`. `:. x=(5xx12)^(@)=60^(@), y=(4xx12)^(@)=48^(@) and z=(6xx12)^(@)=72^(@)`.
