∠2 + ∠7 = 1800 (Supplementary pairs)
So ∠2 + ∠5 = 180°
∠1 = ∠3 (Corresponding angles)
∠1 + ∠8 = 1800 (Supplementary pairs)
So ∠3 + ∠8 = 180°
∠2 = ∠4 (Corresponding angles)

Supplement of 1200 = 600
So the transversal l meets the line m and n forming an angle of 600 on the same side of transversal
Therefore this two angles are corresponding pairs
Hence m and n are parallel
In Fig. 5.63, examine whether the following pairs of lines are parallel or not:
(i) EF and GH (ii) AB and CD
i) ∠ CQF≠∠ SRD (Alternate Exterior angle)
Hence EF is not || GH
ii) ∠ CQF = ∠ RQF = 650 (Vertically Opposite)
∠ RQF + ∠ SPQ = 1150 + 650 = 1800
Hence they form a pair of corresponding interior angle. So AB || CD

∠ VUF + ∠ TUV = 1800
∠ TUV = 1800-1230 = 570
∠ TUV = ∠UVH
So they form alternate interior pairs
Hence EF||GH
∠UVH≠∠ VQP
Hence PK is not parallel to EF and GH
∠ VUF≠∠RSV
Hence AB is not parallel to CD as they don’t form corresponding pairs.
EF||GH

(i) AB || CD
(ii) EF || GH

∠ APQ = ∠ SQP = 1300
∠ APQ & ∠ SPQ are alternate interior angles
Hence AB || CD
∠ APQ and ∠ QPR forms a linear pair
∠ QPR = 1800-1300 = 500
∠ QPR = ∠ GRP = 500
So ∠ QPR and ∠ GRP are alternate interior angles
Hence EF || GH
