The correct answer is: 313

The figure below represents the quadrilateral.

In triangle ABC

AC2=AB2+BC2-2(AB)(AC)cosθ

AC2=62+42-2×6×4×cosθ

AC2=52-48cosθ  ...i

Similarly, in triangle ADC,

AC2=AD2+DC2-2×AD×DCcos180°-θ

AC2=32+52+2×3×5×cosθ

AC2=34+30cosθ  ...ii

From equations i & ii,

52-48cosθ=34+30cosθ

So, cosθ=313
