  1. 19° and 24°
  2. 17° and 25°
  3. 11° and 27°
  4. 18° and 29°

The correct answer is: 17° and 25°

    In this question we have to find x and y given that l is parallel to m and t is the transversal. First to find x we can use linear pair as we know that the sum of angles which are in linear pair is 180 deg. Next to find y we can use the theorem alternate exterior angles are equal.
