Correct Answer: $18^{\circ}$
Solution :
In an isosceles triangle, two angles are equal. Let the equal angles be $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ ($\angle B=\angle C$). The third angle which is unequal is $\angle A$. Given that the unequal angle is $4$ times the sum of the equal angles. $=4(\angle B+\angle C)$ $=4(\angle B+\angle B)$ $=4(2\angle B)$ $=8\angle B$ The sum of the angles in a triangle is always $180^{\circ}$. $=2\angle B+ 8\angle B = 180^{\circ}$ $=10\angle B = 180^{\circ}$ $=\angle B= 18^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is $18^{\circ}$.
