ANSWER

It is given that ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral

(∠B−∠D)=60

o

......(1)

(∠B+∠D)=180

o

.....(2)

By adding both the equations

∠B−∠D+∠B−∠D=60

o

+180

o

So we get

2∠B=240

o

By division

∠B=120

o

By substituting equation it in equation (1)

(∠B−∠D)=60

o

120

o

−∠D=60

o

On further calculation

∠D=120

o

−60

o

by subtraction

∠D=60

o

Therefore, the smaller of the two angles ∠D=60

o

.
