Correct Answer: 75°
Solution : Given, ABCD is a square, i.e. AB = BC = CD = AD Also, $\triangle \mathrm{MAB}$ is an equilateral triangle, i.e. AB = BM = MA Now, $\angle MAD = 90°+60°=150°$ In $\triangle MAD$, $\angle MAD + \angle ADM + \angle DMA=180°$ ⇒ $150° + 2\angle ADM=180°$ (Since MA = AD) ⇒ $\angle ADM=15°$ Now, $\angle MDC=\angle ADC - \angle ADM$ ⇒ $\angle MDC=90° - 15°$ ⇒ $\angle MDC=75°$ Hence, the correct answer is 75°.
