MCQ
In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ if $\angle\text{A}=60^\circ,\angle\text{B}=80^\circ$ and the bisectors of $\angle\text{B}$ and $\angle\text{C}$ meet at $O,$ then $\angle\text{BOC}=$
- A$60^\circ$
- ✓$120^\circ$
- C$150^\circ$
- D$30^\circ$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$120^\circ$
$O$ is point where bisectors of $\angle\text{C }\ \angle\text{B}$ meets.
$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$60^\circ+80^\circ+\angle\text{C}=108^\circ$
$\angle\text{C}=40^\circ$
$\frac{\angle\text{C}}{2}=20^\circ$
$\frac{\angle\text{C}}{2}=20^\circ=\angle\text{BCO}\dots(1)$
$\frac{\angle\text{B}}{2}=\frac{80^\circ}{2}=40^\circ=\angle\text{OBC}\dots(2)$
In $\triangle\text{BOC}$
$\angle\text{BCO}+\angle\text{OBC}+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$
from $(1)$ and $(2)$
$20^\circ+40^\circ+\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{BOC}=180^\circ-60^\circ=120^\circ$
