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°
  • B
    40°
  • C
    60°
  • D
    80°

Answer

Correct option: A.
20°

$\text{AB}=\text{AC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}$ (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).
