Given:

In the figure, $AB$ and $CD$ are diameters of a circle with centre $O$.

$\angle OBD = 50^o$.

To do:

We have to find $\angle AOC$.

Solution:

$\angle DBA = 50^o$

$\angle DBA$ and $\angle DCA$ are in the same segment.

Therefore,

$\angle DBA = \angle DCA = 50^o$

In $\triangle OAC$,

$OA = OC$              (Radii of the circle)

$\angle OAC = \angle OCA = \angle DCA = 50^o$

$\angle OAC + \angle OCA + \angle AOC = 180^o$               (Sum of angles of a triangle)

$50^o + 50^o + \angle AOC = 180^o$

$100^o + \angle AOC = 180^o$

$\angle AOC = 180^o - 100^o = 80^o$

Hence $\angle AOC = 80^o$.
