Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given from the figure shown

AB = 2

BC = 5

AC = √29

We need to find ∠C in ΔABC:

For this we will use "Trigonometric Ratios" :


\tan C=(AB)/(BC)\\\\\tan C=(2)/(5)\\\\\tan C=0.4\\\\C=\tan^(-1)(0.4)\\\\C=21.8\textdegree\\\\C=22\textdegree\ approx.

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
