Answer

ADFE is a cyclic quadrilateral as all vertices lie on the circumference of the circle.

∠ADF = ∠FEB = 80° (∵ exterior angle of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal to the opposite interior angle.)

As opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal.

∠ABC = ∠ADC

From figure,

∠ADC = ∠ADF = 80°.

∴ ∠ABC = 80°.

Hence, the value of ∠ABC = 80°.
