    In the figure (not drawn to scale), EFA is a right-angled triangle with \[\angle EFA={{90}^{o}}\]and FGB is an equilateral triangle, find \[y-2x.\]

    A)  \[{{2}^{o}}\]                      

    B)  \[{{8}^{o}}\]                      

    C)  \[{{17}^{o}}\]        

    D)         \[{{20}^{o}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    In \[\Delta FGC,\] \[\angle CBF={{60}^{o}}\] (Angle of equilateral triangle)             \[\therefore \]  \[x+{{60}^{o}}+{{92}^{o}}={{180}^{o}}\]             \[\Rightarrow \] \[x={{180}^{o}}-{{152}^{o}}={{28}^{o}}\]             Now, In \[\Delta \,BCF,\] \[\angle CBF={{60}^{o}}\]             \[\angle FCB={{180}^{o}}-{{92}^{o}}\]  (Linear pair)             \[\Rightarrow \] \[\angle FCB={{88}^{o}}\]             \[\therefore \] \[\angle BFC+{{88}^{o}}+{{60}^{o}}={{180}^{o}}\]                         (Angle sum property)             \[\Rightarrow \] \[\angle BFC={{180}^{o}}-{{148}^{o}}={{32}^{o}}\] And  \[\angle AFE={{90}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y+{{32}^{o}}={{90}^{o}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[y={{90}^{o}}-{{32}^{o}}={{58}^{o}}\] \[\therefore \] \[y-2x={{58}^{o}}-2\times {{28}^{o}}={{58}^{o}}-{{56}^{o}}={{2}^{o}}\]
