उत्तर


Join AC, 

Let ∠OAC = ∠OCA = x  ...(Say)

∴ ∠AOC =180° – 2x

Also, ∠BAC = 30° + x

∠BCA = 40° + x

In ΔABC,

∠ABC =180° – ∠BAC – ∠BCA

= 180° – (30° + x) – (40°+ x)

= 110° – 2x

Now, ∠AOC = ∠2ABC

(Angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord)

`=>` 180° – 2x = 2(110° – 2x)

`=>` 2x = 40° 

∴ x = 20° 

∴ ∠AOC = 180° – 2 × 20° = 140°
