Solution
It is given that, AB and CD are diameter with center O and `angleOBD = 50°`
We have to find `angle AOC`
Construction: Join the point A and D to form line AD
Clearly arc AD subtends`angle ABD = 50°` at B and `angleAOD` at the centre.
Therefore,
\[\angle AOD = 2\angle ABD = 100° \] …… (1)
Since CD is a straight line then
\[\angle DOA + \angle AOC = 180° \left( \text{ Linear pair } \right)\]
`angle AOC = 180° - 100°`
= 80°
Hence `angle AOC = 80°
