Correct Answer: $60^{\circ}$
Solution :
Given that $AE:ED=5:1$, $\angle BAD=30^{\circ}$ and $\tan \left ( \angle ACB \right )=6\tan \left ( \angle DBE \right )$ Let $AE$ and $ED$ be $5x,x$. So, $DE=x, AE=5x$ and $AD=6x$ In $\triangle ABD$, $\angle ABD+\angle BAD=90^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle ABD =90^{\circ}-\angle BAD$ ⇒ $\angle ABD =90^{\circ}-30^{\circ}=60^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\tan \left ( \angle ACD \right )=\frac{AD}{DC}=\frac{6x}{DC}$ and, $\tan \left ( \angle DBE \right )=\frac{DE}{BD}=\frac{x}{BD}$ From the given expression, $\tan \left ( \angle ACB \right )=6\tan \left ( \angle DBE \right )$ ⇒ $\frac{6x}{DC}=\frac{6x}{BD}$ ⇒ $BD=DC$ ⇒ $\triangle ABD \cong \triangle ACD$ Since $\angle ABD=60^{\circ}$ then, $\angle ACB=60^{\circ}$ Hence, the correct answer is $60^{\circ}$.
