Correct Answer: $130^\circ$
Solution : Given: $ABC$ is an isosceles triangle and $AB = AC$. Let $\angle B=\angle C=x$ $\angle A+\angle B+\angle C = 180^\circ$ ⇒ $80^\circ+x+x = 180^\circ$ ⇒ $2x = 180^\circ-80^\circ$ ⇒ $2x = 100^\circ$ ⇒ $x = 50^\circ$ So, $\angle B = \angle C = 50^\circ$ The bisector of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet at $D$. So, we have $\angle CBD = \angle BCD=\frac{50^\circ}{2} = 25^\circ$ In $\triangle BDC$, $\angle BDC + \angle CBD + \angle CDB = 180^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle BDC + 25^\circ + 25^\circ = 180^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle BDC = 180^\circ - 50^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle BDC = 130^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $130^\circ$.
