 Given that , ∠QPR = 40°
 AC = QC
 ∴ ∠QAC = ∠CQA = y ( say )
 CR = CB
 ∴ ∠ CBR = ∠CRB = z
 ∴ From ∆ PQR,
 ∠y + ∠z + 40° = 180°
 ∠y + ∠z = 140° ......(i)Correct Option: DAccording to question , we draw a figure of a triangle PQR in which points A, B and C are taken on PQ, PR and QR respectively  
 Given that , ∠QPR = 40°
 AC = QC
 ∴ ∠QAC = ∠CQA = y ( say )
 CR = CB
 ∴ ∠ CBR = ∠CRB = z
 ∴ From ∆ PQR,
 ∠y + ∠z + 40° = 180°
 ∠y + ∠z = 140° ......(i)
 Again, ∠ ACQ + ∠ ACB + ∠ BCR = 180°
 ⇒ 180° – 2y + ∠ ACB + 180° – 2z = 180°
 ⇒ ∠ ACB = 2 (y + z) – 180° = 2 × 140 – 180° = 100°
