Option 3: 80º
Option 4: 120º
Correct Answer: 80º
Solution : The angle subtended by a chord at the centre is twice the angle subtended on the circumference. $\angle$BOD = 2$\angle$BCD ⇒ $\angle$AOC = 2$\angle$ABC ⇒ $\angle$AOC + $\angle$BOD = 2($\angle$BCD + $\angle$ABC) The sum of the interior angle is equal to the exterior angle. $\angle$BCD
