Q.In triangle ABC, the circumcenter is O; points A and B, C lie on opposite sides of the center. If \(\angle BOC = 120^\circ\), then what is the measure of \(\angle BAC\)? (a) 50° (b) 60° (c) 70° (d) 80°
Answer: B
The central angle \(\angle BOC\) and the inscribed angle \(\angle BAC\) subtend the same arc BC. \(\therefore \angle BAC = \frac{1}{2} \angle BOC = \frac{1}{2} \times 120^\circ = 60^\circ\)
