Concept:

Polygon of n sides, 

  • Interior angle + exterior angle = 180°    
  • Each interior angle of polygon = \(\rm \left ( n-2 \right )\times \frac{180^{0}}{n}\)  . 


Calculation:

We know that ,  interior angle + exterior angle = 180° 

⇒ Interior angle + 36° = 180° 

⇒ angle of polygon = 1440 

∴ 144 = \(\rm \left ( n-2 \right )\times \frac{180^{0}}{n}\)  

⇒ \(\rm \frac{4n}{5}= n-2\)  

n = 10 . 

The correct option is 2.
