Answer
Let n be the number of sides of the polygon.
By formula,
Sum of interior angles of an 'n' sided regular polygon = (2n - 4) × 90°.
Sum of exterior angles of a regular polygon = 360°.
Given,
The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is equal to six times the sum of its exterior angles.
∴ (2n - 4) × 90° = 6 × 360°
⇒ 2n - 4 =
⇒ 2n - 4 = 6 × 4
⇒ 2n - 4 = 24
⇒ 2n = 24 + 4
⇒ 2n = 28
⇒ n = = 14.
Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
