Detailed Solution

Given the larger of two supplementary angles exceeds the smaller by 18 degrees.
Supplementary angles = x and y.
Let x be the larger angle and y be the smaller angle.
As we know that,
x+y= 180 °  
Also, according to the question,
xy= 18 °  
From x+y= 180 °  ,
y= 180 ° x  
Putting in other equation,
x( 180 ° x)= 18 °  
2x= 198 °  
x = 99
Now, value of y is,
x+y= 180 °  
99 ° +y= 180 °  
y= 180 ° 99 °  
y= 81 °   The measure of 2 angles is 99 °  , 81 °  .
Hence, option 3 is correct.
