Detailed Solution

It is given that two angles of a triangle are complementary.
We know that the measure of two angles are complementary, if and only if their sum is 90 ° .   Also, we know that the total sum of all the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 ° .  
Let x, y, and z   are the angles of a triangle such that x and y   are complementary angles.
x+y+z= 180 ° 90 ° +z= 180 °                      x+y= 90 ° z= 90 °   Hence, the third angle will be 90 ° .   Thus, option (4) is correct.
