    As per the given in question,
    ∴ 2∠A = 3∠B = 6∠C

    2∠A

    In ∆ ABC,
    As we know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    Given , ∠A + ∠B = 70° and ∠B + ∠C = 130°

    Correct Option: B

    In ∆ ABC,
    As we know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    Given , ∠A + ∠B = 70° and ∠B + ∠C = 130°
    ∴ ∠A = (∠A + ∠B + ∠C) – (∠B + ∠C)
    ∠A = 180– 130°= 50°

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC

    ∠BPC = 120°
    ∴ ∠PBC + ∠PCB = 180°– 120°= 60°

    Correct Option: D

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC

    ∠BPC = 120°
    ∴ ∠PBC + ∠PCB = 180°– 120°= 60°
    ∴ ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 2 × 60° = 120°
    ∴ ∠A = 180 – 120 = 60°
