A portion of a roadmap is shown in the figure. What is the measure of angle p.

Step-by-step explanation:

Per our conceptual understanding, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal line then their corresponding angles are equal.

So, If PQ and RS are two parallel lines and line L1 as shown is the transversal line then the corresponding angles are equal.

Hence, ∠1 = ∠2Or, c0 = 1800 – c02c = 180c = 90°

Therefore, if we get c = 90° then PQ and RS are parallel else PQ and RS are not parallel,

With this understanding, let us now analyse the individual statements.

Step 3: Analyse Statement 1

“b = 2a”

Per conceptual understanding, the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180.

Hence, a + b + c = 180a + 2a + c = 1803a + c = 180

However, from the above equation, we can get many values of a and c.

Hence, statement 1 is not sufficient to answer the question.

Step 4: Analyse Statement 2

“c = 3a”

a + b + c = 180a + b + 3a = 180b + 4a = 180

However, from the above equation, we can get many values of a and b.

Hence, statement 2 is not sufficient to answer the question.Step 5: Combine Both Statements Together (If Needed)

From statement 1:

3a + c = 180

From statement 2:

c = 3a

Combining both the statements:

3a + 3a = 180.

From the above equation, we can find the value of a. Then we can find c.

Since we could find the answer by combining both the statements, option C is the correct answer.
