In triangle ABC, ∠A = 100°. AD is a bisector of ∠A, thus implying that it divides ∠A into two equal parts so each part is 100°/2 = 50°.
Since AD and BC are perpendicular, we know that ∠ADB = 90°
(because the angle between a line and a line perpendicular to it is always 90 degrees).
Now, looking at triangle ADB (which is a right triangle), the sum of its interior angles is 180°. If we subtract ∠ADB (90°) and ∠BAD (50°) from 180°, then we'll get that ∠ACB = 180° - 90° - 50° = 40°.
Now in ΔABC
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
100° + ∠B + 40° = 180°
∠B = 180° - 140° = 40°
Hence, Option 3 is correct.
