Detailed Solution


∠ABD = x° (Given)
∠ADB = y° (Given)
∠DBC = 40° (Given)
∠DAB = 80° (Given)
∠DAB+∠ABC=180°−−−−(1) (angle sum property of the parallelogram)
As ∠ABC can be written as the sum of two angles which are ∠ABD and ∠DBC
∠DAB+(∠ABD+∠DBC)= 180° 
80+x+40=180° ⇒ x = 60°
 ∠DAB+∠ABD+∠ADB=180°−−−(2) (angle sum property of triangle)
Hence,
∠DAB=80° 
 80°+∠ABD+∠ADB= 180°       
 ∠ABD+∠ADB=100°−−−−−(3)  
∠ABD = x = 60°
⇒∠ADB = y°
60°+y = 100°
⇒y = 100 −60 = 40°
So,
x = 60°
y = 40°
