MCQ
In figure, if $AB \| CD$, then $x =$
  • $100$
  • B
    $105$
  • C
    $110$
  • D
    $114$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$100$

Extending line $BA$ and $CP$ to meet at point $E.$
$\angle\text{APE}=180^\circ-148^\circ=32^\circ$
$\angle\text{EAP}=180^\circ-132^\circ=48^\circ$
$\angle\text{AEP}=\text{x}^\circ$ [(Correspondence angles) because $AB \| CD$ cut by transverse $EC]$
Now, in $\triangle\text{APE}$
$\angle\text{APE}+\angle\text{EAP}+\angle\text{AEP}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 32^\circ+48^\circ+\text{x}^\circ=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}^\circ=100$
