We need to know two properties of parallelogram while solving this problem. 1. Opposite sides are equal. 2. The angles on the same side equal to 180 degree. Using the first property 3x =4y. Corollary to this. x = 1.2y and hence x > y (ans A)

Please correct my approach if I am wrong.

internal angles of above parallelogram will be 360. Therefore each angle can be 90.

now I equated 3x= 90 and 4y=90

I got x=30 y =22.5

hence X > y

Is this appraoch is right.

Here 3x = 4y Opposite angles are equal in case of parallelogram.[Note: Opposite sides are also equal]
then, 3 X 4 = 4 X 3
So, x = 4 and y = 3
Ans: A
