Answer

We know that,

The angle subtended by an arc at the center is double the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circle.

∴ ∠ACB = 12\dfrac{1}{2} ∠AOB

∠ACB = 402\dfrac{40^{\circ}}{2} = 20°

In ΔBDC, the sum of all angles is 180°

∠OBC + ∠BDC + ∠ACB = 180°

∠OBC + 100° + 20° = 180°

∠OBC = 180° - 120°

∠OBC = 60°

Hence, option 3 is the correct option.
