Solution

Let r1, r2 and 01, 02 be the radii and angles subtended at the centre of two circles, respectively.

Let its radius = r1

l = r1θ1

= r1 `pi/3`

∴ r1 = `(3l)/pi` …(i)

For the second circle,

Let radius = r2

Arc length = l

The angle made by the arc at the centre, θ2 = 75°

= `75 xx π/180` radians

= `(5π)/12` radians

r= `(12l)/(5π)`

On dividing equation (i) by equation (ii)

`r^1/r^2 = (3l)/π + (12l)/(5π)`

= `(3l)/πxx(5π)/(12l)` = 5 : 4.

Let the angles of the quadrilateral be \[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ \text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\]
We know: \[a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a - 2d = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow 4a = 360\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 90\]
We have:
Greatest angle = 120°
Now,
\[a + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 90 + 3d = 120\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 30\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 10\]
Hence,
\[\left( a - 3d \right)^\circ, \left( a - d \right)^\circ, \left( a + d \right)^\circ\text{ and }\left( a + 3d \right)^\circ\] are

\[60^\circ, 80^\circ, 100^\circ\text{ and }120^\circ\], respectively.
