    On the basis of question we draw a figure of triangle ABC in which OB and OC are the bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C respectively ,

    In ∆ABC,
    Given , ∠BAC = 60°
    ∴ ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180° – 60° = 120°

    1
    (∠ABC + ∠ACB) = 60°
    2

    In ∆BOC,
    ⇒ ∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180°

    Correct Option: B

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC whose side BC is extended to the point D

    ∵ Exterior angle of triangle is equal to the sum of two opposite angles.
    ∵ ∠ACD = 112°
    ∴ ∠A + ∠B = 112°

    4
    ∠B + ∠B = 112°
