Answer: B.97

Explanation:

When two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal line then the sum of adjacent angles is 180°.

From the given figure , BD is parallel to XY and a transversal intersecting it making a pair of adjacent angles 83° and y°.


83^(\circ)+y^(\circ)=180^(\circ)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y^(\circ)=180^(\circ)-83^(\circ)=97^(\circ)

Hence, the value of y= 97.
