MCQ
In Fig. $\text{ABC}$ ids an isosceles triangle whose side $AC$ is produced to $E$. Through $C, CD$ is drawn parallel to $BA$. The value of $x$ is:
  • A
    $52^\circ$
  • B
    $76^\circ$
  • C
    $156^\circ$
  • $104^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$104^\circ$

$\triangle\text{ABC}$ is isosceles
$\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}=52^\circ$
then $\angle\text{BAC}=180^\circ-52^\circ-52^\circ=76^\circ$
If $\text{AB}\parallel\text{CD}, AC$ is transversal
then $\angle\text{BAC}=\angle\text{ACD}\ ($alternate angles$)$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{ACD}=76^\circ$
Now from figure,
$\angle\text{ACD}+\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ-76^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^\circ=104^\circ$
Hence, correct option is $(d)$.
