    As per the given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC whose I is incentre ,

    The point of intersection of internal bisectors of the angles of a triangle is incentre.
    Given that , ∠ABC = 90° and ∠ACB = 70°
    As we know that , ∠BAC + ∠ABC + ∠ACB = 180°
    ∠BAC = 180° – 90° – 70° = 20°

    Correct Option: E

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC in which the side QR is extended to S ,

    Given that , ∠QPR = 72° and ∠PRS = 110°,
    In exterior angle ,
    ∠PQR + ∠QPR = ∠PRS = 110
    ∴ ∠PRQ = 180° – 110° = 70°

    Correct Option: A

    As per the given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC in which the side QR is extended to S ,

    Given that , ∠QPR = 72° and ∠PRS = 110°,
    In exterior angle ,
    ∠PQR + ∠QPR = ∠PRS = 110
    ∴ ∠PRQ = 180° – 110° = 70°
    ∴ ∠PQR = 180° – ∠QPR – ∠PRQ
    ∠PQR = 180° – 72° – 70° = 38°

    We draw a figure triangle ABC in which the internal bisectors of the two smallest angles of ∆ ABC meet at O ,

    Given , ∠B = 70° ; ∠C = 60°
    We know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ∴ ∠A = 180° – 70° – 60° = 50°
    According to the question,
    ∠OAC = 25° ;

    Correct Option: A

    We draw a figure triangle ABC in which the internal bisectors of the two smallest angles of ∆ ABC meet at O ,

    Given , ∠B = 70° ; ∠C = 60°
    We know that , ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
    ∴ ∠A = 180° – 70° – 60° = 50°
    According to the question,
    ∠OAC = 25° ;
    ∠OCA = 30°
    ∴ ∠AOC = 180° – 25° – 30° = 125°
