Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

The measure of two complementary angles are in the ratio 1 : 5

We know that the sum of complementary angles is 90 degree

Let the first angle be x

Let the other angle be 5x

Thus the equation we get:

x+5x = 90 degree

6x=90 degree

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6= 90/6

x= 15 degree

Now put the value of x in 5x

5x = 5(15)

= 75 degree

Thus the correct option is 15 degree, 75 degree....
