Concept:

Polygon of n sides, 

  • Interior angle + exterior angle = 180°    
  • Each interior angle of polygon = \(\rm \left ( n-2 \right )\times \frac{180^{0}}{n}\)  . 


Calculation:

We know that ,  interior angle + exterior angle = 180° 

⇒ Interior angle + 24° = 180° 

⇒ interior angle of polygon = 1560 

∴ 156 = \(\rm \left ( n-2 \right )\times \frac{180^{0}}{n}\)  

⇒ 26n = 30n - 60

⇒  4n = 60

 n = 15

The correct option is 3.
