IMO B

Following alternate angle property, we get two angles are 30deg & 40deg
Therfore X = 180-30-40 =110 deg

Angle x = Angle opposite to it = 180- (180-140)-30 = 110

So, I think B. :)

We have one of the angle = 40 , so we have one angle opposite to 40 is 180-40 = 140

We also have another angle which is 30, so based on alternative angle , we have 3rd angle as 30.
x = 180-40-30 = 110

Ans B

Angle BCD = \(30°\) (Alternate angles property).

Angle next to \(140°\) =\( 40°\)( Supplementary angles)

Angle x= \(180°- (40°+30°)\)

Angle X= \(110°\).

The OA is B.
