Answer:

The correct answer is option D. 85°

Explanation:

Here we consider two angles be <1, <2 and < 3, where <1 is the linear pair of angle measures 133° and <2 be the linear pair of angle measures 142°

To find the value of m<1

m<1 = 180 - 133 = 47°

To find the value of m<2

m<2 = 180 - 142 = 38°

To find the value of m<3

By using angle sum property,

m<1 + m<2 + m< 3 = 180

m<3 =180 - (m<1 + m<2)

= 180 - (47 + 38))

= 180 - 85

= 95°

To find the value of n

Here n and <3 are linear pair,

n + m<3 = 180

n = 180 - m<3

= 180 - 95 = 85°

Therefore the value of n = 85°

The correct answer is option D. 85°
