(i) No,

Two right angles would up to 180° so the third angle becomes zero. This is not possible. Therefore, the triangle cannot have two right angles.

(ii) No,

A triangle can’t have two obtuse angles as obtuse angle means more than 90°. So, the sum of the two sides exceeds more than 180° which is not possible. As the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°.

(iii) Yes,

A triangle can have two acute angle as acute angle means less than 90°.

(iv) No,

Having angles more than 60° make that sum more than 180° which is not possible as the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

(v) No,

Having all angles less than 60° will make that sum less than 180° which is not possible as the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

(vi) Yes,

A triangle can have three angles equal to 60° as in this case the sum of all three is equal to 180° which is possible. This type of triangle is known as equilateral triangle.
