Will be D.

Exterior angle v = x+y.

A gives you v directly.

B gives you w from which you can calculate v as v = w = 74.

OA - D. That is exactly how I solved the problem. Anyone with a different approach? Just trying to make sure I know everything about triangles....

BD=CD..given
Therefore triangle BDC is isosceles
v=u
w=180-2v.....(1)

statement 1:

v=74
z=180-v
z=180-74=106
In triangle ADB x+y=180-z=74

Sufficient

statement 2:

w=32
Substituting in 1 we get v=74

x+y=74( same approach as given above)

Sufficient

Hope this helps
