Detailed Solution

When two lines intersect each other at a point, then vertical opposite angles are equal. A straight angle or a linear angle is equal to 180 °   .
Note the given conditions.
Question ImageNow, from figure we have AB, CD and EF are intersecting lines, at point O.
And angles are AOD=2x ..(1)   COE=3x (2)  
BOF=5x(3)  
Compute vertically opposite angle, and apply formulae of tip.
Now, from figure we have line AB and EF are intersecting lines, then vertically opposite angles are equal,
AOE=BOF  
AOE=5x(4)  
Evaluate the sum of angles at linear angle.
Now, the angle COD   is a straight angle.
COD= 180 °  
COE+EOA+AOD= 180 °  
3x+5x+2x= 180 °  
10x= 180 0  
x= 18 °  
Therefore, value of x is 18 °  .
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
