Solution
Given, A parallelogram ABCD.
In the ΔOBC, we have
y + 30° = 100° ...[Exterior angle property of triangle]
⇒ y = 70°
By the angle sum property of a triangle,
We have, x + y + 30° = 180°
⇒ x + 70° + 30° = 180°
⇒ x = 180° – 100°
⇒ x = 80°
Now, since AD || BC and BD is transversal,
Therefore, ∠ADO = ∠OBC ...[Alternative interior angles]
⇒ z = 30°
