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 100∘100^\circ form a linear pair (adding up to 180∘180^\circ):

∠A=180∘−100∘=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 180∘180^\circ:

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

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

130∘+y=180∘130^\circ + y = 180^\circ

y=50y = 50


2. Finding the value of xx:

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

x+y=180∘x + y = 180^\circ

x+50∘=180∘x + 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
