Correct Answer: $50^{\circ}$


Solution :

In right-angled $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$, where $\angle \mathrm{ABC} = 90^{\circ}$, $\mathrm{BP}$ is drawn perpendicular to $\mathrm{AC}$. Given that $\angle \mathrm{BAP }= 50^{\circ}$
In $\triangle\mathrm{ ABC}$,
$\mathrm{\angle C = 180^{\circ} - \angle A - \angle B = 180^{\circ} - 50^{\circ} - 90^{\circ} = 40^{\circ}}$
In $\mathrm{\triangle BPC}$,
$\mathrm{\angle PBC +\angle BPC +\angle PCB =180^{\circ}}$
⇒ $\mathrm{\angle PBC = 90^{\circ} - \angle PCB = 90^{\circ} - 40^{\circ} = 50^{\circ}}$
Hence, the correct answer is $50^{\circ}$.
