Correct answer: C

Solution

Given: ABCD is a rhombus and ∠ADB = 25°.

Properties of a Rhombus:

  • Diagonals bisect the vertex angles.

  • Opposite angles are equal.

  • Adjacent angles sum to 180°.

Step-by-Step Calculation

  1. Find ∠ADC: Since diagonal BD bisects ∠ADC, ∠ADC = 2 × ∠ADB = 2 × 25° = 50°.

  2. Find ∠ABC: Opposite angles are equal, so ∠ABC = ∠ADC = 50°.

  3. Find ∠BAD: Adjacent angles sum to 180°, so ∠BAD = 180° − ∠ABC = 180° − 50° = 130°.

  4. Compute Expression: 2∠BAD − ∠ABC = 2(130°) − 50° = 260° − 50° = 210°.

Final Answer: 210°
