.
First,  angle A plus angle D is 180 degrees,  or


    (2x-10) + (3x + 40) = 180

           5x           = 180 + 10 - 40 = 150

            x           = 150/5 = 30,

Hence,  angle A is 2x-10 = 2*30-10 = 50  degrees.


Angle B (which is CBA) is congruent to angle A;  so, angle CBA is 50 degrees.    ANSWER

Solved.

The median XY is irrelevant to the problem.

The diagonals AC and BD are irrelevant, too.
