Solution

The correct option is A 60o

In the figure:

∠ACD = 120°

Sum of adjacent angles = 180°

So, ∠ACD + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠ACB = 180° – 120° = 60°

By the angle sum property of a triangle:
∠ACB + ∠ABC + ∠BAC = 180°
⇒ 60° + 60° + ∠BAC = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠BAC = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° – 120° = 60°
