Answer
As we know, the sum of all the angles in a quadrilateral is 360°.
In quadrilateral ABCD, ∠D = 40°, ∠C = 80°.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + 80° + 40° = 360°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + 120° = 360°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 360° - 120°
⇒ ∠A + ∠B = 240°
⇒ (∠A + ∠B) = 240°
⇒ (∠A + ∠B) =
⇒ (∠A + ∠B) = 120°
As we know, the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°.
∠PAB + ∠PBA + ∠APB = 180°
⇒ (∠A + ∠B) + ∠APB = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠APB = 180°
⇒ ∠APB = 180° - 120°
⇒ ∠APB = 60°
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
