    Firstly , We draw a figure of triangle ABC whose I is incentre ,

    Here , ∠B = 70° and ∠C = 50°

    ∠IBC =
    70°
    = 35° ;

    ∠ICB =
    50°
    = 25° ;
    2

    Correct Option: C

    We know that , ∠BIC + ∠ICB + ∠IBC = 180°
    ∴ ∠BIC = 180° – 35° – 25°
    ∠BIC = 180° – 60° = 120°


  1. In a triangle ABC, AB + BC = 12 cm, BC + CA = 14 cm and CA + AB = 18 cm. Find the radius of the circle (in cm) which has the same perimeter as the triangle.

    Given that , AB + BC = 12
    BC + CA = 14
    CA + AB = 18
    On adding , we get
    ∴ 2(AB + BC + CA) = 12 + 14 + 18 = 44
    ⇒ AB + BC + CA = 22
    ∴ 2πr = 22

    ⇒ 2 ×

    On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC ,

    ∠ABC = 60°, ACB = 50°

    ∠IBC =

    ∠ABC = 30°
    2

    ∠ICB =

    We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    Given that , ∠ B = ∠ C
    ∴ ∠ A = 2(∠ B + ∠ C)
    ⇒ ∠ A = 4∠ C
    we know that , ∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°
    ∴ 4∠ C + ∠ C + ∠ C = 180°

    Correct Option: C

    We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,

    Given that , ∠ B = ∠ C
    ∴ ∠ A = 2(∠ B + ∠ C)
    ⇒ ∠ A = 4∠ C
    we know that , ∠ A + ∠ B + ∠ C = 180°
    ∴ 4∠ C + ∠ C + ∠ C = 180°
    ⇒ 6∠ C = 180°
    ⇒ ∠ C = 30°
