○=> Correct option :

Angle (p+7)° and angle (3p+1)° are a linear pair so their sum will be equal to 180°.

Which means :

$=\tt 3p + 1 + p + 7 = 180$

Let us solve that equation to find the value of p and the two angles :

$=\tt 3p + 1 + p + 7 = 180$

$=\tt 3p + p + 1 + 7 = 180$

$=\tt 4p + 8 = 180$

$= \tt4p = 180 - 8$

$= \tt4p = 172$

$=\tt p = (172)/(4)$

$\hookrightarrow \tt \color{plum}p = 43$

Thus, value of p = 43

Measure of angle (p+7)° :

$=\tt 43 + 7$

$\tt\color{plum}angle \: (p + 7)° =\tt 50°$

Measure of angle (3p+1)° :

$=\tt 43 * 3 + 1$

$= \tt129 + 1$

$\tt\color{plum}angle \: (3p + 1)° = 130°$

Thus, the measure of the larger angle = 130°

Therefore, the correct option is (a) 130
