Question 10 Explanation:
Assuming it as anticlockwise traverse.
Mathematically sum of interior angle for a closed traverse =(2n-4)\times 90 = (2 \times 4 -4) \times 90 = 360^{\circ}
Given sum of interior angles, = 88 + 92 + 94 + 89 = 363^{\circ}
Then error in interior angle = 363 - 360 = 3^{\circ}
Note: In this question as per clockwise traverse included angle should be taken as exterior angle. But if we take exterior angle then we get all interior angles more than 180^{\circ}.
