  1. In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 70°, ∠BCA = 40°. O is the point of intersection of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides, then the angle ∠BOC is
    1. 100°
    2. 120°
    3. 130°
    4. 140°
Correct Option: D

On the basis of question we draw a figure of ∆ABC ,

Given that , ∠ABC = 70°, ∠BCA = 40°
OA = OB = OC = Circum-radius
In ∆ ABC,
∠A = 180° – 70° – 40° = 180° – 110° = 70°
The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice to that at the circumference.
∴ ∠BOC = 2∠BAC
∠BOC = 2 × 70 = 140°
