In the given figure, side BC of ∆ABC has been produced to a point D.

Disclaimer: In the question ∠ACD should be 7y°.

In the given figure, ∠ACB + ∠ACD = 180°         (Linear pair of angles)

∴ 5y° + 7y° = 180°

⇒ 12y° = 180°

⇒ y = 15         .....(1)

In ∆ABC,

∠A + ∠B + ∠ACB = 180°       (Angle sum property)

∴ 3y° + x° + 5y° = 180°

⇒ x° + 8y° = 180°

⇒ x° + 8 × 15° = 180°              [Using (1)]

⇒ x° + 120° = 180°

⇒ x° = 180° − 120° = 60°

Thus, the value of x is 60.

Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
