Correct Answer

C

Explanation

EGH = 34° = EFH ( Angles in the same segment) i.e HJG = 180 – (42° + 34°) = 104° (sum of angles in a Δ ) HJE° = 76° (Angles on a straight line ) i.e (180 – 104) = 76â�° But Δ HJE is an Δ HEG =HFG (alternate angles) i.e HEG = FGE = EHF = HEG i.e HEG = 180 -76° HEG = EHJ (iso . Δ) EHJ + HEG = 180 76° (sum of angles in a Δ) = 104 i.e HEG = 104 /2 = 52°
