Answer: 225°

Explanation:

The correct option is D)

Refer Figure

Given:

ABCD is a square

ABP is an equilateral triangle

AB=BP=BC (△ABP is equilateral and AB and BC belong to a square, hence all are equal)

∠ABC=∠ABP+∠PBC=60°+∠PBC

90°−60°=∠PBC

∠PBC=30°

In △BPC

BP=BC

∠BPC=∠BCP= 2

180−∠PBC

​ ( angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

∠APC=∠APB+∠BPC=(60+75)°=135°

Hence, Reflex ∠APC=(360−135)°=225°
