Correct Answer: $155^\circ$
Solution : Since H is the orthocentre, $\angle BHC = 180^\circ - 50^\circ = 130^\circ$ Now, P is the incentre of $\triangle BHC$ $\angle BPC = 90^\circ +\frac{1}{2}\angle BHC= 90^\circ +\frac{130^\circ}{2}= 90^\circ +65^\circ= 155^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is $155^\circ$.
