  1. The side BC of a triangle ABC is produced to D. If ∠ACD = 112° and ∠B = 3/4 ∠A, then the measure of ∠B is
    1. 30°
    2. 48°
    3. 45°
    4. 64°
Correct Option: B

We draw a figure triangle ABC whose the side BC is produced to D ,

Exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of remaining two interior angles.
From triangle ,
∴ ∠A + ∠B = ∠ACD = 112°

Given , ∠B =
3
∠A

⇒ ∠B =
112 × 3
= 48°
