In a cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, it is being given that ∠A = (x + y + 10)°, ∠B = (y + 20)°, ∠C = (x + y – 30)° and ∠D = (x + y)°. Then, ∠B = ?
A. 70°
B. 80°
C. 100°
D. 110°
Answer :
It is given in the question that,
In cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, we have:
∠ A = (x + y + 10)o
∠ B = (y + 20)o
∠ C = (x + y – 30)o
∠ D = (x + y)o
As ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral
∴ ∠ A + ∠ C = 180o and ∠ B + ∠ D = 180o
Now, ∠ A + ∠ C = 180o
(x + y + 10)o + (x + y – 30)o = 180o
2x + 2y – 20o = 180o
x + y = 100o (i)
Also, ∠ B + ∠ D = 180o
(y + 20)o + (x + y)o = 180o
x + 2y + 20o = 180o
x + 2y = 160o (ii)
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get
y = (160 – 100)o
y = 60o
Putting the value of y in (i), we get
x + 60o = 100o
x = 100o – 60o
x = 40o
∴ ∠ B = (y + 20)o
∠ B = 60o + 20o = 80o
Hence, option B is correct
