Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

An interior angle of a regular polygon = \(\frac{(2n-4)\times 90}{n}\)

An exterior angle of a regular polygon = \(\frac{360}{n}\)

\(\frac{(2n-4)\times 90}{n}\) =5 \(\times\)  \(\frac{360}{n}\) (Given)
= (2n-4) x 90 = 5 x 360
= 180n - 360 = 1800
= 180n = 1800 + 360
= 180n = 2160
= n = \(\frac{2160}{180}\) = 12
The polygon has 12 sides which is dodecagon
