Solution

The correct option is C

90


In ABC,AB=AC.
We know, a
ngles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
So, ABC=ACB=1 (say)
Given that, side BA is produced to D such that BA = AD.
But we already have AB=AC.
Then, in ACD,AD=AC.So, ADC=ACD=2 (say)

In ABC,1+1+3=180(i)
In ADC,2+2+4=180(ii)
Also ,3+4=180 (Linear pair)
Adding (i) and (ii), we get2(1+2)+(3+4)=3602(1+2)=1801+2=90DCB=90
