Answer
In △ ABC,

⇒ ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠BCA = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC + 90° + 60° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC + 150° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° - 150° = 30°.
⇒ ∠A = ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 30° + 25° = 55°.
In △ ABD,
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠D = 180°
⇒ 55° + 90° + ∠D = 180°
⇒ 145° + ∠D = 180°
⇒ ∠D = 180° - 145° = 35°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠XAD = ∠D = 35°.
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
