Question : ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Sides AB and DC, when produced, meet at E and sides AD and BC, meet at F. If $\angle $ADC = 76$^\circ$ and $\angle$AED = 55$^\circ$, then $\angle$AFB is equal to:

Option 1: $34^\circ$

Option 2: $26^\circ$

Option 3: $29^\circ$

Option 4: $27^\circ$

Correct Answer: $27^\circ$


Solution :


We know that the sum of all the sides of the triangle is $180^\circ $.
In $\triangle DAE$,
$⇒ \angle ADC + \angle AED + \angle DAE = 180^\circ$
$⇒ 76^\circ+ 55^\circ+ \angle DAE = 180^\circ$
$⇒ 131^\circ+ \angle DAE = 180^\circ$
$⇒ \angle DAE = (180^\circ - 131^\circ)$
$⇒ \angle DAE = 49^\circ$
The exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the interior opposite angle.
$⇒ \angle DAE = \angle DCF = 49^\circ $
Now,
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.
$⇒ \angle ADC = \angle DCF + \angle AFB$
$⇒ 76^\circ= 49^\circ+ \angle AFB$
$⇒ \angle AFB = (76^\circ - 49^\circ)$
$\therefore \angle AFB = 27^\circ$
Hence, the correct answer is  $27^\circ$.
