Regular polygons A and B have number of sides in the ratio 1 : 2 and interior angles in the ratio 3 : 4. Then the number of sides of B equals
Correct Answer: 10
Let the number of sides of polygons A and B be n and 2n, respectively.
$$\ \dfrac{\ \ \dfrac{\ \left(n-2\right)180}{n}}{\ \dfrac{\ \left(2n-2\right)180}{2n}}=\dfrac{3}{4}$$
$$\ \dfrac{\ \ \ n-2}{\ \ n-1}=\dfrac{3}{4}$$
$$\ \ \ \ 4n-8=3n-3$$
$$n=5$$
The number of sides of polygon B is 2*5, i.e. 10.
