Question

In the given figure, if AE || DC and AB = AC, the value of ∠ABD is

Options

  • 70°

  • 110°

  • 120°

  • 130°

MCQ

Solution

We have to find the value of ∠ABD in the following figure.

It is given that

∠MAE = 70°

∠NAC = 70°(Vertically apposite angle)

Now ∠MAE + ∠EAB + ∠BAC =180° (linear pair) …… (1)

Similarly ∠EAB +∠BAC +∠NAC = 180° (linear pair) …… (2)

From equation (1) we have

∠EAB + ∠BAC = 180°

= 110°

Now ∠FCA = ∠DBA (same exterior angle)

∠ACF  = ∠EAC (Interior angle)

Now 

∠EAC = 110°

So ∠AFC = 110°

Since ∠AFC =∠ABD 

Hence (b)∠ABD = 110°.
