A.
120°
B.
130°
AnswerC.
140°
D.
150°
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
Let take a point 'C' on circumference of circleThen ∠BAT = ∠BCA = 50° (Alternate segment theorem)

In Cyclic Quadrilateral ACBD
∠D = 180° - ∠C
(In a cyclic quadrilateral the sum of opposite angles is 180°)
Then ∠D = 180° - 50° = 130°
