Answer:


In the given figure, EF || BD and CE is the transversal.

∴ ∠CAD = ∠AEF         (Pair of corresponding angles)

⇒ ∠CAD = 55°

In âˆ†ABC,

∠CAD = ∠ABC + ∠ACB       (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles)

⇒ 55° = ∠ABC + 25°

⇒ ∠ABC = 55° − 25° = 30°

Thus, the measure of ∠ABC is 30°.

Answer:


We have, ∠FGE + ∠FGH = 180°       (Linear pair of angles)

y + 120° = 180°

⇒ y = 180° − 120° = 60°

Now, AB || DF and BD is the transversal.

∴ ∠ABD = ∠BDF           (Pair of alternate angles)

⇒ ∠BDF = 50°

Also, BD || FG and DF is the transversal.

∴ ∠BDF = ∠DFG           (Pair of alternate angles)

⇒ ∠DFG = 50°       .....(1)

In âˆ†EFG,

∠FGH = ∠EFG + ∠FEG       (Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles)

⇒ 120° = 50° + x                   [Using (1)]

⇒ x = 120° − 50° = 70°

Thus, the values of x and y are 70° and 60°, respectively.

Answer:


It is given that, AB || CD and EF is a transversal.

∴ ∠EFD = ∠AEF          (Pair of alternate angles)

⇒ ∠EFD = 65°

⇒ ∠EFG + ∠GFD = 65°

Answer:

Disclaimer: In the question ACD should be 7y°.

In the given figure, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°         (Linear pair of angles)

∴ 5y° + 7y° = 180°

⇒ 12y° = 180°

⇒ y = 15         .....(1)

In ∆ABC,

∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180°       (Angle sum property)

∴ 3y° + x° + 5y° = 180°

⇒ x° + 8y° = 180°

⇒ x° + 8 × 15° = 180°              [Using (1)]

⇒ x° + 120° = 180°

⇒ x° = 180° − 120° = 60°

Thus, the value of x is 60.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
