Detailed Solution

Methanol is used as a solvent for paints, varnishes, fats, cellulose etc.

The C-O-H bond angle in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle because of the repulsion between the two lone pairs of electrons on oxygen atoms as these pairs pushes the C-O bonds closer to each other.
