    Question

    In a △ABC, ∠A:∠B:∠C=2:3:4.A line drawn parallel to AB , then the ∠ACD is.

    A.

    4040^∘​​

    B.

    6060^∘​​

    C.

    8080^∘​​

    D.

    2020^∘

    Correct option is A

    We are tasked to determine \angle​ ACD in \triangle​ ABC when a line is drawn parallel to AB and the ratio of angles A:B:C\angle A : \angle B : \angle C​ = 2 : 3 : 4 .

    Step-by-Step Solution:

    1. Given:

    - Ratio of angles A:B:C=2:3:4\angle A : \angle B : \angle C = 2 : 3 : 4

    - Line parallel to AB is drawn.

    2. Calculate the angles of \triangle ABC :

    - The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ​ .

    - Let k be the common multiplier. Then:

    A=2k,B=3k,C=4k\angle A = 2k, \quad \angle B = 3k, \quad \angle C = 4k

    2k + 3k + 4k = 180180^\circ

    9k=180=>k=209k = 180^\circ \quad \Rightarrow \quad k = 20^\circ

    - Substituting k :

    A=40,B=60,C=80\angle A = 40^\circ, \quad \angle B = 60^\circ, \quad \angle C = 80^\circ

    3. Properties of the parallel line:

    - The line drawn parallel to AB forms alternate interior angles with \triangle​ ABC .

    - Hence, ACD=A\angle ACD = \angle A

    Final Answer:

    ACD=40\boxed{\angle ACD = 40^\circ}
