Answer

(i) We know that,
Equal chords subtend equal angles at the center.
Since, AB = BC = DC
∴ ∠BOC = ∠AOB = 50°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠AOC = ∠BOC + ∠AOB = 50° + 50° = 100°.
Hence, ∠AOC = 100°.
(ii) We know that,
Equal chords subtend equal angles at the center.
Since, AB = BC = DC
∴ ∠DOC = ∠AOB = 50°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠AOD = ∠AOC + ∠DOC = 100° + 50° = 150°.
Hence, ∠AOD = 150°.
(iii) From figure,
⇒ ∠BOD = ∠BOC + ∠DOC = 50° + 50° = 100°.
Hence, ∠BOD = 100°.
(iv) Join AC.
In △ AOC,
⇒ OA = OC (Radius of same circle)
⇒ ∠OAC = ∠OCA = y (let) [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠OAC + ∠OCA + ∠AOC = 180°
⇒ y + y + 100° = 180°
⇒ 2y + 100° = 180°
⇒ 2y = 180° - 100°
⇒ 2y = 80°
⇒ y =
⇒ y = 40°
⇒ ∠OAC = 40°.
Hence, ∠OAC = 40°.
(v) Join AD.
In △ OAD,
⇒ OA = OD (Radius of same circle)
⇒ ∠ODA = ∠OAD = x (let) [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠OAD + ∠ODA + ∠AOD = 180°
⇒ x + x + 150° = 180°
⇒ 2x + 150° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 150°
⇒ 2x = 30°
⇒ x =
⇒ x = 15°
⇒ ∠ODA = 15°.
Hence, ∠OAD = 15°.
