  1. In a triangle ABC, OB and OC are the bisectors of angles ∠B and ∠C respectively. ∠BAC = 60°. The angle ∠BOC will be :
    1. 150°
    2. 120°
    3. 100°
    4. 90°
Correct Option: B

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°
1
(∠ABC + ∠ACB) + ∠BOC = 180°
2

⇒ ∠BOC = 180° – 60° = 120°
