Solution

The correct option is A 60
Given: ABCD is a trapezium.

$\Rightarrow B C ∥ A D$

$\Rightarrow ∠ A D C + ∠ D C B = 180^{\circ} (Interior angles on the same side of$
$transversal DC)$

$\Rightarrow 120^{\circ} + ∠ D C B = 180^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow ∠ D C B = 180^{\circ} - 120^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow ∠ D C B = 60^{\circ}$
