Question

In Fig. 60, the values of x and y are
(a) x = 20, y = 130
(c) x = 20, y = 140
(b) x = 40, y = 140
(d) x = 15, y = 140

Solution

∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°
⇒ 40° + y° = 180°
⇒ y° = 140°
⇒ y = 140
Now, ∠ACD = ∠ABC + ∠BAC [Exterior angle property]
⇒ 3x° + 4x° = y°
⇒ 7x° = 140°
⇒ x = 20
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).
