Solution

Option D is the correct answer.

Option Analysis

From the figure,

x + y = 180

6*x = 180

x = 30, y = 150

Let number of sides be “n”, hence number of interior angles is also “n”

Sum of all interior angles = 150*n

Formula for sum of interior angles

= 180*(n-2) 180*(n-2) = 150*n

30*n = 360

n = 360/30 = 12
