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

    Here , ∠BAC = 60°
    BI = IC = in–radius
    ∴ Angle subtended by arc AC at the centre = 2 × ∠BAC
    Angle subtended by arc AC at the centre = 2 × 60° = 120°

    Correct Option: A

    According to question , we draw a figure of triangle ABC circumscribes a circle with centre O

    Given , ∠BOC = 150°
    As we know that Angle subtended at the centre of a circled by an arc is twice to that at the circumference.
    ∴ ∠BOC = 2∠BAC

    Correct Option: D

    On the basis of question we draw a figure of a a triangle ABC whose circumcentre is O ,

    Point ‘O’ is equidistant from the vertices of triangle ABC.
    ∴ OA = OB = OC
    ∴ ∠OAC = ∠OCA, ∠OBC = ∠OCB; ∠OAB = ∠OBA
    ∴ In ∆ ABC,
    ∠ABC = 180° – 85° – 75° = 20°
    ∴ ∠AOC = 2 ∠ABC = 2 × 20° = 40°
    ∴ In ∆ AOC,
    2 ∠OAC + 40° = 180°
