Correct Answer: $36^{\circ}$
Solution :
Sides of a pentagon, $n$ = 5
Each interior angle of a pentagon = $(\frac{2×5-4}{5})×90^{\circ}$ = $6 × 18^{\circ}$ = $108^{\circ}$
External angle of a pentagon = $\frac{360^{\circ}}{5}$ = $72^{\circ}$
Difference = $108^{\circ}$ – $72^{\circ}$ = $36^{\circ}$
Hence, the correct answer is $36^{\circ}$.
