A.
31°
B.
33°
C.
35°
D.
29°
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
According to question,

Given :
AC = CD
∠BAD = 111°
∠ACB = 80°
∴ ∠ACD = 180° - 80°
∠ACD = 100°
In isosceles triangle ACD
   ∠ACD + ∠CAD + ∠ADC = 180°
   2∠CAD = 180° - 100°
   ∠CAD = 40°
∴ ∠CAB = 111° - 40° = 71°
∴ ∠ABC = 180° - 71° - 80°
   ∠ABC = 29°
