Answer: Third option is correct.

Explanation:

If one of the exterior angles of a triangle is acute then,

By using the rule of "Linear Pair" we can find the interior angle

Let the exterior angle be


80\textdegree

So, its interior angle be


180-80=100\textdegree

So, our triangle become obtuse triangle .

So, we can take any measure of acute angle , always we get an obtuse angle .

Hence, Third option is correct.
