Solution

Correct Option: 1

1. Finding the value of yy:

The angles at vertex AA lie on a straight line. Therefore, the interior angle A\angle A inside the triangle and the exterior angle 100100^\circ form a linear pair (adding up to 180180^\circ):

A=180100=80\angle A = 180^\circ - 100^\circ = 80^\circ

Now, looking inside the triangle ABC\triangle ABC, the sum of all interior angles must be 180180^\circ:

A+B+y=180\angle A + \angle B + y = 180^\circ

80+50+y=18080^\circ + 50^\circ + y = 180^\circ

130+y=180130^\circ + y = 180^\circ

y=50y = 50


2. Finding the value of xx:

The angles xx^\circ and yy^\circ lie on a straight horizontal line at vertex CC, making them a linear pair:

x+y=180x + y = 180^\circ

x+50=180x + 50^\circ = 180^\circ

x=130x = 130

(Alternatively, by the exterior angle theorem, xx is equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles: x=A+B=80+50=130x = \angle A + \angle B = 80^\circ + 50^\circ = 130.)


Conclusion:

  • x=130x = 130
  • y=50y = 50
