Question : I is the incenter of a triangle ABC. If $\angle$ ABC = 65$^\circ$ and $\angle$ ACB = 55$^\circ$, then the value of $\angle$ BIC is:
Option 1: 130$^\circ$
Option 2: 120$^\circ$
Option 3: 140$^\circ$
Option 4: 110$^\circ$
Correct Answer: 120$^\circ$
Solution : Given, triangle ABC with I as an incenter of a triangle. And, $\angle$ ABC = 65$^\circ$ and $\angle$ ACB = 55$^\circ$ We know that the incenter is the intersection point of all angle bisectors. So, $\angle$ IBC = $\frac{\angle ABC}{2}$ = $\frac{65^\circ}{2}$ Also, $\angle$ ICB

Option 1: -2
Option 2: 2
Option 3: -1
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 1
Solution : $\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta-1}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta+1} \times \sqrt{\frac{1+\sin \theta}{1-\sin \theta}}$ = $\frac{\sin \theta+\cos \theta-1}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta+1}\times\frac{\sin \theta-\cos \theta-1}{\sin \theta-\cos \theta-1} \times \sqrt{\frac{1+\sin \theta}{1-\sin \theta}\times\frac{1+\sin \theta}{1+\sin \theta}}$ = $\frac{(\sin \theta-1)^2-\cos^2 \theta}{(\sin \theta-\cos \theta)^2-1^2} \times \sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin \theta)^2}{1^2-\sin^2 \theta}}$ = $\frac{\sin^2 \theta+1-2\sin\theta-\cos^2 \theta}{\sin^2 \theta+\cos^2 \theta-2\sin\theta\cos\theta-1} \times \sqrt{\frac{(1+\sin \theta)^2}{\cos^2 \theta}}$
