In ∆ABC, u+v+70 = 180
u+v = 110

Lets call the line in between DE
In ∆BDE, r+s+70 = 180
r+s = 110

r+s+u+v = 220(Option D)

In $$\triangle$$ $$ABC$$,

$$70 + u + v = 180$$

$$u + v = 180 - 70 => 110$$

Let the smaller triangle be $$\triangle$$ $$DBE$$,

$$70 + r + s = 180$$

$$r + s = 180 - 70 => 110$$

$$r + s + u + v = 110 + 110 = 220$$

Lets call intersecting line DE

Sum of interior angles in a triangle = 180

Here we have two triangles $$\triangle ABC$$ and $$\triangle BDE$$

70 + u + v + 70 + r + s = 360
therefore, u + v + r + s = 220 (choice D)

From smaller and larger triangles, then add:

r + s + 70 = 180
u + v + 70 = 180
--------------------------------
r + s + u + v + 140 = 360

r + s + u + v = 220

Answer D
