Correct Answer: 23
Solution : Let the sides of polygon $A_1$ be $n$. The sum of all the interior angles $A_1 = 1080^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow (n-2)\times 180^{\circ} = 1080^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow (n-2) =6$ $\Rightarrow n=8$ Now, Let $I$ be the interior angle and $E$ be the exterior angle. $\Rightarrow I-E = 132^{\circ}$.....(1) $\Rightarrow I+E = 180^{\circ}$....(2) Adding equation (1) and (2), $\Rightarrow 2I = 180^{\circ} + 132^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow 2I = 312^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow I = 156^{\circ}$ Putting the value of $I$ in equation (1), we get, $\Rightarrow 156^{\circ} - E = 132^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow E = 24^{\circ}$ Number of sides of polygon $ A_2=\frac{360}{24} = 15$ Now, The sum of the number of sides of polygon $A_1$ and $A_2 = (8 + 15) = 23$ Hence, the correct answer is 23.
