Question:

In the given figure, if AC, DE are parallel and ∠CAB = 38° , then the value of ∠ABC + 5∠CBD is:

Options:

158°

178°

218°

196°

Correct Answer:

218°

Explanation:

We have,

∠CAB = 38

∠ABC = b

∠CBD = a

∠CAB = 2a

According to the question,

2a = 38o

∠CBD = a = 19o

∠CAB + ∠ABD = 180 (Because AC and BD are parallel) 

⇒ 2a + b + a = 180o

⇒ 38 + b + 19 = 180o

⇒ b = 180 - 57

⇒ b = 123o

∴∠ABC = 123o

Now, ∠ABC + 5 ∠CBD

= 123 + 5 × 19

= 123 + 95 = 218o
