Line segments AB and CD intersect segment EF at points X and Y, respectively. What is the measure of angle AXF?
(1) Angle CYF is 120°.
(2) Angle AXY is 30°.
(1) Angle CYF is 120°.
(2) Angle AXY is 30°.

Answer will be " B"
Refer attached picture:
From statement 1: Given Angle CYF is 120°, with this we cannot find angle AXF as it is not mentioned whether line AB & CD is parallel or not. Hence insufficient.
From statement 2: Angle AXY is 30°. From the attached picture, angle AXY=angle AXF=30 degree. So sufficient.
Hence answer is "B"
Please advice.

\(? = \angle AXF\)
Without loss of generality we may assume line segment EF is contained in a horizontal line.
We went immediately to (1+2), because our GEOMETRIC BIFURCATION proves the right answer is (E).
Please see image attached, in which we have two different numerical values for our FOCUS:
> Angle AXF may be equal to 30 degrees.
> Angle AXF may be equal to 150 degrees (the supplement of 30 degrees).
This solution follows the notations and rationale taught in the GMATH method.
