    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a triangle ABC and the internal bisectors of ∠B and ∠C intersect at O

    Here , ∠BOC = 102°
    In ∆ABC ,
    ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

    ∠B

    ∠A

    ∴ ∠A = 24°


  1. A circle (with centre at O) is touching two intersecting lines AX and BY. The two points of contact A and B subtend an angle of 65° at any point C on the circumference of the circle. If P is the point of intersection of the two lines, then the measure of ∠APO is

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O

    Given , ∠ACB = 65°
    We can say that angle subtended at the centre of a circled by an arc is twice to that at the circumference.
    ∠AOB = 2 × ∠ACB = 2 × 65° = 130°

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a circle with centre O

    Given , ∠ACB = 65°
    We can say that angle subtended at the centre of a circled by an arc is twice to that at the circumference.
    ∠AOB = 2 × ∠ACB = 2 × 65° = 130°
    ∠OAP = 90°, ∠AOP = 65°
    ∴ ∠APO = 180° – 90° – 65° = 25°

    According to question , we draw a figure of a
    ∆ABC in which AD and AE be respectively the internal bisector of ∠A and perpendicular on BC

    Given that , ∠B = 60° and ∠C = 40°
    In ∆ABC ,
    we know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ∠A = 180° – 60° – 40° = 80°
    ∠ BAD = 80° ÷ 2 = 40°

    Correct Option: B

    According to question , we draw a figure of a
    ∆ABC in which AD and AE be respectively the internal bisector of ∠A and perpendicular on BC

    Given that , ∠B = 60° and ∠C = 40°
    In ∆ABC ,
    we know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ∠A = 180° – 60° – 40° = 80°
    ∠ BAD = 80° ÷ 2 = 40°
    ∠BAE = 180° – 60° – 90° = 30°
    ∴ ∠DAE = ∠ BAD - ∠BAE
    ∴ ∠DAE = 40° – 30° = 10°

    According to question , we draw a figure of two similar triangle ABC and DEF

    ∆ ABC ~ ∆ DEF
    ∴ ∠A = 47° = ∠D
    ∠B = ∠E = 63°

    Correct Option: B

    According to question , we draw a figure of two similar triangle ABC and DEF

    ∆ ABC ~ ∆ DEF
    ∴ ∠A = 47° = ∠D
    ∠B = ∠E = 63°
    In triangle ,
    As we know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ∴ ∠C = 180° – 47° – 63° =70°
