    In the given adjacent figure, BA and BC are produced to meet CD and AD produced in E and F. Then \[\angle AED+\angle CFD=\]

    A)  \[{{80}^{o}}\]                                

    B)  \[{{50}^{o}}\]        

    C)  \[{{40}^{o}}\]                    

    D)  \[{{160}^{o}}\]      

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

            In  \[\Delta \,AED,\] \[\angle AED+\angle EAD+{{90}^{o}}={{180}^{o}}\](Angle sum property) \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\angle AED+\angle EAD={{90}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]            \[\angle EAD={{90}^{o}}-\angle AED\]         ?..(i) Also,     \[\angle EAD=({{50}^{o}}+\angle AFB)\]       .....(ii) (Exterior angle property) From (i) and (ii), we have \[{{50}^{o}}+\angle AFB={{90}^{o}}-\angle AED\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\angle AFB+\angle AED={{90}^{o}}-{{50}^{o}}={{40}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\angle AED+\angle CFD={{40}^{o}}\]
