  1. The side BC of ∆ ABC is extended to the point D. If ∠ACD = 112° and ∠B = 3/4 ∠A, then the value of ∠B is
    1. 64°
    2. 48°
    3. 46°
    4. 50°
Correct Option: B

As per the given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC whose side BC is extended to the point D

∵ Exterior angle of triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite angles.
∵ ∠ACD = 112°
∴ ∠A + ∠B = 112°

4
∠B + ∠B = 112°
3

4∠B + 3∠B
= 112°
3

∵ ∠B =
3
∠A ⇒ ∠A =
4
∠B
43

⇒ 7 × ∠B = 112 × 3
⇒ ∠B =
112 × 3
= 48°
