Question : In $\triangle A B C, O$ is the point of intersection of the bisectors of $\angle B$ and $\angle A$. If $\angle B O C=108^{\circ}$, then $\angle B A O=$?

Option 1: 27°

Option 2: 40°

Option 3: 18°

Option 4: 36°

Correct Answer: 18°


Solution :
In $\triangle$ABC, O is the point of intersection of the bisectors of $\angle$B and $\angle$A
$\angle$BOC = 108° 
If the bisector of $\angle$ABC and $\angle$ACB of a triangle ABC meet at a point O then, $\angle$BOC = $90^\circ + \frac{1}{2}$$\angle$A
⇒ $108^\circ = 90^\circ +

Option 1: Rs. 61,773

Option 2: Rs. 65,773

Option 4: Rs. 52,350

Team Careers360 18th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: Rs. 61,773


Solution : The selling price of the iPhone at 12% loss = Rs. 46068

⇒ Cost price = Rs. 52350
Also, profit% = $\frac{\text{Selling Price}-\text{Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$
⇒ $18=\frac{\text{Selling Price}-52350}{53350}\times
