The correct option is Option A:  x > 38° this statement about x value is true.

Given in triangle ΔNPO the angle ∠ PNM is the exterior b to the interior angle ∠ PNO of the triangle.

Given the angle ∠NPO= 38°

∠PON= 39°

As we know the exterior angle is the sum of the two farthest interior angles of the triangle.

Then we can write the angle ∠PNM as

So, ∠PNM = ∠NPO + ∠PON

⇒ x = 38° + 39° = 77° {Given that ∠ PNM = 38° and ∠ PON = 39°}

{Since the exterior angle of an interior angle is equal to the sum of the other two interior angles of a triangle}

As x=77°

which satisfies the relation x=77° >38°.

Therefore,The correct option is Option A:  x > 38° this statement about x value is true.
