The Given Triangle PMO is a Right Angled Triangle with m∠M = 90°

Given m∠P = 40°

We know that : Sum of Angles in a Triangle = 180°

⇒ m∠P + m∠M + m∠O = 180°

⇒ 40° + 90° + m∠O = 180°

⇒ 130° + m∠O = 180°

⇒ m∠O = 180° - 130°

⇒ m∠O = 50°

We can notice that m∠O and m∠1 form a Linear Pair (180°)

⇒ m∠O + m∠1 = 180°

⇒ 50° + m∠1 = 180°

⇒ m∠1 = 180° - 50°

⇒ m∠1 = 130°

Last Option is the Answer
