Correct Answer: $91^\circ$
Solution : We know that the sum of all the angles of the triangle is $180^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle A + \angle B + \angle C = 180^\circ$ ⇒ $66^\circ + 50^\circ + \angle C = 180^\circ$ ⇒ $116^\circ + \angle C = 180^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle C = (180^\circ -116^\circ)$ ⇒ $\angle C = 64^\circ$ Now, By the angle bisector theorem, ⇒ $\angle BPC = 90^\circ + \frac{\angle A}{2}$ ⇒ $\angle BPC = 90^\circ + \frac{66}{2}$ ⇒ $\angle BPC = 90^\circ + 33^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle BPC = 123^\circ$ Again, $\angle PCA = \angle \frac{C}{2}= \frac{64}{2}=32^\circ$ Now, The value of $\angle BPC - \angle PCA$ = $123^\circ - 32^\circ$ = $91^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $91^\circ$.
