Triangles

In figure, two line segments AC and BD intersect each other at the point P such that PA = 6 cm, PB = 3 cm, PC = 2.5 cm, PD = 5 cm, ∠APB = 50° and ∠CDP = 30°. Then, ∠PBA is equal to (a) 50° (b) 30° (c) 60° (d) 100°

Solution: (d) 100° Explanation: From triangles APB and CPD, $\angle APB\text{ }=~\angle CPD\text{ }=\text{ }50{}^\circ $ (as they are vertically opposite angles) $AP/PD\text{ }=\text{ }6/5$ … (i)...
