Answer
(i) Given,
∠DAE = 70°
From figure,
⇒ ∠DAE + ∠BAD = 180° [Linear pairs]
⇒ 70° + ∠BAD = 180°
⇒ ∠BAD = 180° - 70° = 110°.
We know that,
Sum of opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD + ∠BAD = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD + 110° = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 180° - 110° = 70°.
Hence, ∠BCD = 70°.
(ii) We know that,
Angle which an arc subtends at the centre is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.
⇒ ∠BOD = 2∠BCD = 2 × 70° = 140°.
Hence, ∠BOD = 140°.
(iii) In △OBD,
OB = OD [Radius of same circle]
∠OBD = ∠ODB = x.
⇒ ∠OBD + ∠ODB + ∠BOD = 180°
⇒ x + x + 140° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 140°
⇒ 2x = 40°
⇒ x = = 20°.
∴ ∠OBD = 20°.
Hence, ∠OBD = 20°.
