MCQ
In figure, if lines $l$ and $m$ are parallel, then $x =$
  • A
    $20^\circ$
  • $45^\circ$
  • C
    $65^\circ$
  • D
    $85^\circ$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$45^\circ$

From figure,
$\angle\text{ABD}=\angle\text{CDF}$ [Correspondence angles]
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{CDF}=65^\circ$
Now,
$\angle\text{FDE}=180^\circ-\angle\text{CDF}=180^\circ-65^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{FDE}=115^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{EDF},$
$\angle\text{FDE}+\angle\text{DEF}+\angle\text{EFD}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\ 115^\circ+\text{x}+20^\circ=180^\circ$ [Sum of all interior angles of a $\triangle$ as 180°]
$\Rightarrow\ \text{x}=180^\circ-20^\circ-115^\circ=45^\circ$
