MCQ
In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ if $\text{AB}=\text{AC}$ and $BC$ is produced to $D$ such that $\angle\text{ACD}=100^\circ$ then $\angle\text{A}=$
  • $20^\circ$
  • B
    $40^\circ$
  • C
    $60^\circ$
  • D
    $80^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$20^\circ$

$\text{AB}=\text{AC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB} \ ($Isoscles $\triangle$ Property$)$
$\angle\text{ACB}=180^\circ-100^\circ=80^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}-=\angle\text{ACB}=80^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}=180^\circ-\angle\text{ACB}-\angle\text{ABC}$
$=180^\circ-80^\circ-80^\circ=20^\circ$
Hence, correct option is $(a)$.
