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°

12\dfrac{1}{2}(∠A + ∠B) = 12\dfrac{1}{2} 240°

12\dfrac{1}{2}(∠A + ∠B) = 240°2\dfrac{240°}{2}

12\dfrac{1}{2}(∠A + ∠B) = 120°

As we know, the sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°.

∠PAB + ∠PBA + ∠APB = 180°

12\dfrac{1}{2}(∠A + ∠B) + ∠APB = 180°

⇒ 120° + ∠APB = 180°

⇒ ∠APB = 180° - 120°

⇒ ∠APB = 60°

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
