Ans (a)
Sol We have, ABCD and AEFG are two parallelograms and ∠C = 55°.
Since, ABCD is a parallelogram, then opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.
∠A = ∠C = 55° .... (i)
Also, AEFG is a parallelogram.
∴ ∠A = ∠F = 55° [from Eq. (i)]
7. Sides AB and CD of a quadrilateral are extended as in figure. Then a + b is equal to

A + B + C + D = 360° .... (i)
(Angle sum property)
x + (180° – a) + y + (180 ° – b) = 360°
x + 180° – a + y + 180 ° – b = 360°
x + y – (a +b) = 0
x+y=a+b
