Correct Answer: 70$^\circ$
Solution : Given, an isosceles $\triangle$ ABC with AB = BC And, $\angle$ A = 40$^\circ$ with bisectors PO and OQ of $\angle$ ABD and $\angle$ ACE. In $\triangle$ ABC, $\angle$A + $\angle$ B+ $\angle$ C = 180$^\circ$ Or, 40$^\circ$ + 2$\angle$C = 180$^\circ$ Or, $\angle$ B = $\angle$ C = 70$^\circ$ Now, $\angle$ ABD + $\angle$ ABC = 180$^\circ$ Or, $\angle$ ABD + 70$^\circ$ = 180$^\circ$ Or, $\angle$ ABD = 110$^\circ$ Since PO is an angle bisector, $\angle$ PBD = $\frac{110^\circ}{2}=55^\circ$ Similarly, $\angle$ QCE = 55$^\circ$ In $\triangle$ BCO, $\angle$BOC + $\angle$ CBO+ $\angle$ BCO = 180$^\circ$ Or, $\angle$ BOC + $\angle$ PBD+ $\angle$ QCE = 180$^\circ$ (vertically opposite angles) Or, $\angle$ BOC + 55$^\circ$ + 55$^\circ$ = 180$^\circ$ Or, $\angle$ BOC = 70$^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is 70$^\circ$.
