Answer

By formula,

Sum of interior angles of an 'n' sided polygon = (2n - 4) × 90°.

∴ Sum of interior angles of a seven-sided polygon = (2 × 7 - 4) × 90°

= (14 - 4) × 90°

= 10 × 90° = 900°.

Given,

One angle of a seven-sided polygon is 114° and each of the other six angles is x°.

∴ 114° + 6x = 900°

⇒ 6x = 900° - 114°

⇒ 6x = 786°

⇒ x = 786°6\dfrac{786°}{6} = 131°.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
