SSC CPO - 25 Nov 2020 - Shift 1 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q111

In an △ABC, the bisector of ∠B and ∠C meet at O in the triangle. If ∠BOC = 134°, then the measure of ∠A is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e 88°​​​​​​.

Given:

BO and CO are bisectors of ∠B and ∠C

∠BOC = 134°

Concept used:

If in a given △ABC, BO, and CO are angle bisectors then, ∠BOC = 90° + ∠A/2

Now, according to the question

As BO and CO are angle bisectors of ∠B and ∠C

∠BOC = 90° + ∠A/2

⇒ 134° = 90° + ∠A/2

⇒ ∠A = 2 × 44°

∠A is 88°
