    In the given figure, \[\Delta ABC\]is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and\[\angle ABC={{50}^{o}}.\]Find the sum of \[\angle BDC\]and\[\angle BEC.\]

    A) \[30{}^\circ \]         

    B) \[60{}^\circ \]

    C) \[50{}^\circ \]          

    D) \[180{}^\circ \]    

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\Delta ABC\]is isosceles with \[AB=AC\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\angle BCA=\angle ABC={{50}^{o}}\](Base angles) \[\Rightarrow \]\[\angle BAC={{180}^{o}}-2\times {{50}^{o}}={{80}^{o}}\] \[\angle BDC=\angle BAC={{80}^{o}}\](Angles in the same segment are equal.) BECD is a cyclic quadrilateral in which opposite angles are supplementary. \[\Rightarrow \]\[\angle BEC={{180}^{o}}-\angle BDC\] \[={{180}^{o}}-{{80}^{o}}={{100}^{o}}\] Hence, the required sum \[=BDC+BEC={{80}^{o}}+{{100}^{o}}={{180}^{o}}\]
