Let’s write the value of x in each of the following figure.

The given figure is as shown below:

Given ∠ABC = 40°, ∠BAD = 60°, ∠ADC = 20°
To find the exterior angle, i.e., ext ∠BCD = x°
Now the given figure is a concave quadrilateral; we will divide it into two by drawing a line joining AC.
By doing this we will get two triangles,
⇒ Quadrilateral ABCD = ΔABC + ΔADC
We know in a triangle the sum of all three interior angles is equal to 180°.
So in this case,
⇒ Quadrilateral ABCD = 180° + 180° = 360°
So in a quadrilateral the sum of all four interior angles is equal to 360°.
So in the given quadrilateral,
∠ABC + ∠BCD + ∠ADC + ∠BAD = 360°
Substituting the values, we get
40° + ∠BCD + 20° + 60° = 360°
⇒ ∠BCD = 360° - 60° - 20° - 40°
⇒ int. ∠BCD = 240°
From figure ∠BCD is reflex angle, so
360° = interior ∠BCD + Exterior ∠BCD
⇒Ext ∠ BCD = 360° - int. ∠BCD
Substituting the values, we get
⇒Ext ∠ BCD = 360° - 240°
⇒Ext ∠ BCD = 120°
So the measurement of exterior angle in the given figure is 120°.
