Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 20

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{n}{2}[2 a+(n-1) 6]=(n-2) 180^{\circ}\) and \(a n+3 n^2-3 n=3 n(n-2) 180^{\circ}\)...(i) \(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \quad \text { Given } a+(n-1) 6^{\circ}=219^{\circ} \\ & \Rightarrow a=225^{\circ}-6 n^{\circ} \end{aligned}\) Putting value of \(a\) in (i)…
