Open in App
Solution

The correct option is A 40

In ΔABC,

ADDB=43 and AEEC=4.83.6=43

ADDB=AEEC=43

We know that in a triangle, if a line segment intersects two sides and divides them in the same ratio, then it will be parallel to the third side.

DE || BC

So, AED=ACB=40
(Corresponding angles are equal)
