ΔABC is isosceles having AB = AC and ∠A = 40°. Bisectors PO and OQ of the exterior angles ∠ABD and ∠ACE formed by producing BC on both sides, meet at O. Then the value of ∠BOC is

A. 70°

B. 110°

C. 80°

D. 55°

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Geometry mcq question image
AB = AC
∴ ∠B = ∠C
∠B = $$\frac{{{{180}^ \circ } - {{40}^ \circ }}}{2}$$
∠B = 70°
∠B = ∠C = 70°
Geometry mcq question image
∠BOC = 90° - $$\frac{{\angle {\text{A}}}}{2}$$
= 90° - 20°
= 70°
