Question : In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}, \angle \mathrm{A}=50^{\circ}$, BE and CF are perpendiculars on AC and AB at E and F, respectively. BE and CF intersect at H. The bisectors of $\angle \mathrm{HBC}$ and $\angle H C B$ intersect at P. $\angle B P C$ is equal to:
Option 1: $155^\circ$
Option 2: $100^\circ$
Option 3: $115^\circ$
Option 4: $120^\circ$
Correct Answer: $155^\circ$
Solution : Since H is the orthocentre, $\angle BHC = 180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$ Now, P is the incentre of $\triangle BHC$ $\angle BPC = 90^\circ +\frac{1}{2}\angle BHC= 90^\circ +\frac{130^\circ}{2}= 90^\circ +65^\circ= 155^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $155^\circ$.
Question : Kanchan lent INR 10,000 for 2 years and INR 5,000 for 4 years at the same rate of simple interest. If the total interest received by Kanchan is INR 2,000, then what was the rate of interest?
