Correct Answer: 90°
Solution : Here D is the midpoint of BC and AG = BC So, BD = GD ⇒ $\angle$BGD = $\angle$GBD and CD = GD ⇒ $\angle$GCD = $\angle$CGD In $\triangle$BGC, $\angle$GBC + $\angle$GCB + $\angle$BGC = 180° ⇒ $\angle$GBC + $\angle$GCB + ($\angle$BGD + $\angle$CGD) = 180° [as $\angle$BGC = $\angle$BGD + $\angle$CGD] ⇒ $(\angle$GBC + $\angle$GBD) + ($\angle$GCB + $\angle$GCD) = 180° ⇒ 2$\angle$GBC + 2$\angle$GCB = 180° ⇒ $\angle$GBC + $\angle$GCB = 90° $\therefore$ $\angle$BGC = 180° – ($\angle$GBC + $\angle$GCB) = 180° – 90° = 90° Hence, the correct answer is 90°.
