At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Don't fall into the trap in this question, that is, do not discount the fact that the other angle may not be 70 degrees.
If one angle is 70, then yes, the other MAY be 70, which means that III is possible, if the other angle is indeed 70, then the remaining (third) angle will be 180-70-70 = 40, so I is also possible.
But what if neither of the other angles are 70? Well if one angle is 70, and the other is 55, then the other must be 55 in an isosceles triangle.
55+55 = 110 + 70 =180, therefore, 55 is possible as well.
So I, II, and III could all be true

The possible measures of the other two angles are
70 and 40 or
55 and 55
Since you're free to choose which of the above is assigned to BCA, any one of the three works
