ArunSharma12 · Answer

25 + y + (180 - z) = 180
z - y = 25

10 + z + (180 - 2y) = 180
z - 2y = -10

y + 25 = 2y - 10
y = 35
z = 25 + 35 = 60
Ans: C

yashikaaggarwal · Answer

Angle ADB + Angle BDE + Angle EDF = 180°
10 + Angle BDE + 10 = 180
Angle BDE = 160

Also, In triangle BCD
Angle BDE + Angle EDF = Z+(180-2y) {exterior angle}
180-2y+Z = 170
10-2Y+Z = 0 ---------(1)

In triangle ABC 
25+Y+180-Z = 180
25+Y-Z = 0 --------(2)

equating both equations
Y = 35
Angle CBD = 180-2Y
=> 180-2(35) 
=> 180-70 = 110

Z = 180-BDC-CBD
Z = 180-10-CBD
Z = 180-120
Z = 60

Groo · Answer

∠x=10
∠z= 25º+∠y
∠y+∠y+∠a=180º
∠z+∠a+∠x=180º

Let`s define ∠z and ∠a in terms of y
25+y+180-2y+10=180 => y=35 => ∠z=25+35=60

v12345 · Answer

We have,
z + x + 180 - 2y = 180
=> z + 10 - 2y = 0
=> z -2y = -10 --------i
z = 25 + y (exterior angle property)
=> z - y = 25 
=> 2z - 2y = 50 ----------ii

Subtracting i from ii,
z = 60
Hence, OA is (C).

monikakumar · Answer

using exterior interior angle relation,
z=25+y --->1

and in triangle with line zx,
z+x+180-2y=180
z+x=2y ---->2

sub 2 in 1, 
we get z=60

Ans C

QuantMadeEasy · Answer

Step 1: Understanding the question 
Angle z is an exterior angle of triangle ABC.
Also measure of angle BCD = 180-2y (linear pair)

Step 2: Calculation 
z = y + 25 (exterior angle property)
y = z - 25 ----(I)

x+ z + (180 - 2y) = 180
x + z = 2y
x + z = 2(z - 25)
10 + z = 2z - 50
z = 60

IMO C

exc4libur · Answer

z+10+a=180
2y+a=180

25+y+180-z=180
25+y-z=0
z=25+y

(25+y)+10+a=180
y+a=145

2y+a=180
- 
y=35
z=25+35=60

Ans (C)

In the figure above angle, x is 10º. What is the measure of ∠z?
