. We're sorry about the hassle.
the answer is 55, it's easy but it becomes confusing because of your complicated solution.
We can assume that A P = 1 c m
in Triangle ABP from the law of sines we can prove that A B = s i n ( 2 0 ) s i n ( 1 5 0 )
in Triangle ACP from the law of sines we can prove that A C = s i n ( 3 0 ) s i n ( 1 1 0 )
and in Triangle ABC from the law of cosines we can get the value of B C
and from the law of sines we can prove that s i n ( A B C ) = ِ A B A C × s i n ( 5 0 ) and we can get it easily

( B C ) 2 = ( A B ) 2 + ( A C ) 2 − 2 ( A B ) ( A C ) cos 5 0 ---> e q . 1
by sine law;
A B = sin 2 0 A P sin 1 5 0 ---> e q . 2
A C = sin 3 0 A P sin 1 1 0 ---> e q . 3
Substitute e q . 2 and e q . 3 in e q . 1
( B C ) 2 = ( sin 2 0 A P sin 1 5 0 ) 2 + ( sin 3 0 A P sin 1 1 0 ) 2 − 2 ( sin 2 0 A P sin 1 5 0 ) ( sin 3 0 A P sin 1 1 0 ) cos 5 0
( B C ) = 1 . 4 6 1 9 0 2 2 A P ----> e q . 4
sine law on big triangle
A C sin ∠ A B C = B C sin 5 0 ----> e q . 5
subtitute e q . 3 and e q . 4 in e q . 5 . Then solve.
∠ A B C = 8 0 0
