In the given figure, ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. Then the ordered pair (x, y) is

  1. A
    (15°, 25°)
  2. B
    (10°, 15°)
  3. C
    (15°, 35°)
  4. D
    (40°, 35°)

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A core property of a cyclic quadrilateral states that the sum of opposite interior angles is always equal to .Therefore, the opposite angle pairs satisfy: Let's set up the system of linear equations using the standard UPTET 2017 configuration expressions: Equation 1:


Equation 2:


Now, solve the simultaneous equations. From equation (i), express in terms of :

Substitute this value of into equation (ii):



Substitute back into the expression for :

Thus, the ordered pair solution is .
