Correct Answer: 9

Solution : Let $ x=\sqrt{72+\sqrt{72+\sqrt{72+...}}}$
$x=\sqrt{72+x}$.
By squaring both sides, we get,
$⇒ x^{2}=(\sqrt{72+x})^{2}$
$ ⇒x^{2}=72+x$
$ ⇒x^{2}-x-72=0$
$ ⇒x^{2}-9x+8x-72=0$
$⇒x(x-9)+8(x-9)=0$
$⇒(x-9)(x+8)=0$
$\therefore x=9,-8$
Since $x$ can not be equal to –8, the value of $x$ will be 9.
Hence, the correct answer is 9.

Correct Answer: Right-angle triangle

Solution : Given: the angles of a triangle are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3.
Let the angles be $x, 2x,$ and $3x$.
The sum of the angles of a triangle = 180°
⇒ $x+2x+3x = 180°$
⇒ $6x = 180°$
⇒ $x
