We know that the sum of supplementary angles is 180^{\circ}.

(i) The maximum value of the sum of two acute angles is less than 180^{\circ}. Thus two acute angles can never be supplementary.

(ii) The minimum value of the sum of two obtuse angles is more than 180^{\circ}. Thus two obtuse angles can never be supplementary.

(iii) Sum of two right angles is 180^{\circ}. Hence two right angles are supplementary.
