(i) each exterior angle of the polygon ;
(ii) number of sides in the polygon.

Solution
Interior angle : exterior angle = 2 : 1
Let interior angle = 2x° & exterior angle = x°
∴ 2x° + x° = 180°
3x = 180°
x = 60°
∴ Each exterior angle = 60°
Let no.of. sides = n
`(360°)/"n" = 60°`
n = `(360°)/(60°)`
n = 6
∴ (i) x = 60° (ii) 6
