Correct Answer: $30^{\circ}$
Solution : Given: In a triangle ${ABC}, {D}$ is a point on ${BC}$ such that $\frac{A B}{A C}=\frac{B D}{D C}$. The angle bisector theorem states that an angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of the triangle. The $\angle B=68^{\circ}$ and $\angle C=52^{\circ}$. The sum of all the angles in a triangle = $180^{\circ}$. ⇒ $\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle A +68^{\circ}+52^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle A +120^{\circ} = 180^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle A =180^{\circ} – 120^{\circ}$ ⇒ $\angle A =60^{\circ}$ The measure of $\angle B A D=\frac{60^{\circ}}{2}=30^{\circ}$. Hence, the correct answer is $30^{\circ}$.
