Correct Answer: 76$^\circ$


Solution : First exterior angle = 121$^\circ$
Second exterior angle = 104$^\circ$
The sum of all the exterior angles of a triangle is 360$^\circ$
Let the three interior angles be A, B, and C and the third exterior angle be x
⇒ 121$^\circ$ + 104$^\circ$ + x = 360$^\circ$
⇒ x = 360$^\circ$ - 225$^\circ$
⇒ x = 135$^\circ$
Largest interior angle = supplement of smallest exterior angle
Smallest exterior angle = 104$^\circ$
Measure of the largest angle of the triangle = 180$^\circ$ - 104$^\circ$ = 76$^\circ$
$\therefore$ The measure of the largest angle of the triangle is 76$^\circ$.
Hence, the correct answer is 76$^\circ$.
