उत्तर

Let the measure each interior and exterior angles are 3k and 2k.
Let the number of sides of the polygon is n.
Now we can write:
n.3k = ( 2n - 4 ) x 90°
3nk = ( 2n - 4 ) 90°                  ....(1)
Again
n.2k = 360°
nk = 180°
From (1)
3.180° = ( 2n - 4 ) 90°
3 = n - 2 
n = 5
Thus the number of sides of the polygon is 5.
