Correct Answer: 90°
Solution : Let $\angle$OBC and $\angle$OCB be $\theta$. In $\triangle$OBC, $\angle$OBC + $\angle$OCB + $\angle$BOC = 180° ⇒ $\theta + \theta + \angle$BOC = 180° ⇒ $\angle$BOC = 180° – 2$\theta$ We know that in a circle, the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at the remaining part of the circle. So, $\angle$BOC = 2$\angle$BAC ⇒ $\angle$BAC = $\frac{1}{2} \angle$BOC ⇒ $\angle$BAC = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (180° – 2$\theta$) ⇒ $\angle$BAC = 90° – $\theta$ ⇒ $\angle$BAC = 90° – $\angle$OBC [$\because \angle$OBC = $\theta$] $\therefore \angle$BAC + $\angle$OBC = 90° Hence, the correct answer is 90°.
