Correct Answer: 15°


Solution :

According to the question,
$\angle BCD = 90° $and $\angle ACB = 60°$
$\angle ACD = (90 + 60)° = 150°$
Now, AB = BC = AC (∵ ABC is an equilateral triangle)
Also, BC = CD = DE = EB (∵ BCDE is a square)
⇒ AC = CD = BC
So, ΔACD is an isosceles triangle where AC = CD and $\angle CAD = \angle ADC$
⇒ $\angle ADC = \frac{180°−150°}{2}$ = 15°
Hence, the correct answer is 15°.
