Two angles are called adjacent angles if they have a common vertex and a common arm but no common interior points. A linear pair is a pair of adjacent angles whose non-common sides are opposite rays. When two lines intersect, the vertically opposite angles so formed are equal.
If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal, (i) each pair of corresponding angles is equal. (ii) each pair of alternate interior angles is equal. (iii) each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal is
supplementary..

Answer:D. EF || GH. [Solution: For lines EF and GH, taking CD as transversal, ∠1 and ∠2
are interior angles on the same side of the transversal. Therefore, we check whether the sum of ∠1 and ∠2 is 180° or
not. ∠1 = 123°, ∠2 = 57°, ∠1 + ∠2 = 123° + 57° = 180° Since the sum of the interior ∠’s on the same side of the
transversal is 180°, therefore EF || GH.
