    B 12° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 14° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 16° Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the angle be 'A'.

    Complement of 'A' = 90° - A

    So, 'A' = (4/5) X (90° - A)

    Or, 5A = 360° - 4A

    Or, 9A = 360°

    Or, 'A' = 40°

    Complement of 'A' = 90° - 40° = 50°

    Required difference = 50° - 40° = 10°

    Hence, option a.
