Given:

AB = DB and AC = DC.

∠ABD = 58° and ∠DBC = (2x - 4)°, 

∠ACB = (y + 15)° and ∠DCB = 63°

Concept used:

If all three sides of one triangle are equivalent to the corresponding three sides of the second triangle, then the two triangles are said to be congruent by SSS (Side - Side - Side) rule.

Calculation:

F1 SSC Ishita 24.02.23 D2

As AB = DB, AC = DC, and BC is common for two triangle 

So, ΔABC ≅ ΔDBC

So, ∠ABC = ∠DBC = ∠ABD/2

⇒ 58°/2 = 29°

So,

(2x - 4)° = 29°

⇒ 2x = 33°

Again,

∠ACB = ∠DCB = 63°

So,

(y + 15)° = 63°

⇒ y = 48°

So,

2x + 5y = 33° + 5 × 48°

⇒ 33° + 240°

⇒ 273°

∴ The required answer is 273°.
