Step-by-Step Solution
In three terms in arithmetic progression the middle one is the average, so it is 180°/3 = 60° and the angles are 60° − , 60°, 60° + . The condition 60° + (60° − d) gives °, so ° and the angles are 40°, 60°, 80° — and indeed 80° = °. Each of the other lists is also an arithmetic progression summing to 180°, but there the greatest is three times, one and two-thirds times, and five times the least respectively.
Answer: C) 40°, 60°, 80°
