Solution

The correct option is B

191


Step 1:
Draw the base line AB of the length 6 cm.

Step 2:
Use your compass to make a circle with centre at point A and the radius 4 cm.

Step 3:
Use your compass to make a circle with centre at point B and the radius 4 cm.

Step 4:
In the point of intersection between the two circles, you'll find the point C.
Complete the triangle by drawing the lines between all three points.

Now, we need to construct another triangle, taking AB as the base.

Step 5:
Use your compass to make a circle with centre at point A and the radius 5 cm.

Step 6:
Use your compass to make a circle with centre at point B and the radius 3 cm.

Step 7:
In the point of intersection between the two circles, you'll find the point D.
Complete the triangle by drawing the lines between all three points.

Now, by above construction, we see that the ACB = 97 and ADB = 94.

Now, ACB + ADB = 97 + 94 = 191
