Answer

If ∠ADB of the rhombus ABCD is 30°, then ∠ACB. Quadrilaterals, R.S. Aggarwal Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

In rhombus opposite sides are parallel. The diagonal BD acts as a transversal line.

Therefore, the alternate interior angles are equal.

∠DBC = ∠ADB = 30°

From figure,

∠OBC = ∠DBC = 30°

∠BOC = 90° [Diagonals of rhombus cut at right angles]

In triangle BOC,

∠OBC + ∠BOC + ∠OCB = 180°

30° + 90° + ∠OCB = 180°

120° + ∠OCB = 180°

∠OCB = 180° - 120°

∠OCB = 60°.

Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
