Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

From the last triangle given in the picture,

x° = 45° + 85° [By the definition of exterior angle of a triangle]

x = 130°

Another way to get the value of x,

By triangle sum theorem,

45° + 85° + y° = 180°

y° = 180° - 130°

y = 50°

And (x° + y°) = 180° [linear pair of angles]

x + 50 = 180

x = 130°

Therefore, x = 130° because 180 - (45 + 85) = 50 and 180 - 50 = 130

Option A is the answer.
