Answer:
(c) 80 degree is the answer.
The Angle PCB = Angle PED = 80 degree
as ΔPBC ∼ ΔPDE, by SAS similarity criterion.
Step-by-step explanation:
PB / PD = 6/12 = 1/2 (1)
and PC/PE = 5/10= 1/2 (2)
Hence; from (1) and (2)
PB / PD = PC/PE
and Angle BPC = Angle EPD (vertically opoiste angles)
Since, one angle of Δ PBC is equal to one angle of ΔPDE and the sides including these angles are proportional, so both triangles are similar. Hence, ΔPBC ∼ ΔPDE, by SAS similarity criterion.
So, Angle PBC = Angle PDE = 60 degree,
and, the Angle PCB = Angle PED = 80 degree
