Solution

The correct option is D 30°
Given: $∠ A$ and $∠ B$ are vertically opposite angles.
$∠ A = 5 x$
$∠ B = 90 ° + 2 x$
We know that when two lines intersect each other, the vertically opposite angles thus formed are equal.
$\Rightarrow ∠ A = ∠ B$
$\Rightarrow 5 x = 90 ° + 2 x$
$\Rightarrow 3 x = 90 °$
$\Rightarrow x = 30 °$
