In the given figure, lines AB and CD intersect at a point O . The sides CA and OB have been produced to E and F respectively such that
(a) 190∘ (b) 230∘ (c) 210∘ (d) 270∘
ANSWER:
In the given figure, ∠BOD=∠COA
∴ ∠BOD=40∘
.....(1)
(Vertically opposite angles)In △ACO,
∠OAE=∠OCA+∠COA (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)
⇒ x=80∘+40∘=120∘ .....(2)
In △BDO,
∠DBF=∠BDO+∠BOD (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles)
⇒ y=70∘+40∘=110∘ [Using (1)]
.....(3)
Adding (2) and (3), we get
x° + y° = 120° + 110° = 230°
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).
