Question : $A_1$ and $A_2$ are two regular polygons. The sum of all the interior angles of $A_1$ is $1080^{\circ}$. Each interior angle of $A_2$ exceeds its exterior angle by $132^{\circ}$. The sum of the number of sides $A_1$ and $A_2$ is:
Option 1: 21
Option 2: 22
Option 3: 23
Option 4: 24
Correct Answer: 23
Solution : Let the sides of polygon $A_1$ be $n$. The sum of all the interior angles $A_1 = 1080^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow (n-2)\times 180^{\circ} = 1080^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow (n-2) =6$ $\Rightarrow n=8$ Now, Let $I$ be the interior angle and $E$ be the exterior angle. $\Rightarrow I-E = 132^{\circ}$.....(1)
