Solution

The correct option is C $110^{o} .$
$G i v e n - A, B, C & D a r e p o i n t s o n t h e c i r c u m f e r e n c e o f a c i r c l e . A C & B D i n t e r s e c t a t E .

(l i n e a r p a i r) ∴ ∠ D E C = 180^{o} - ∠ B E C = 180^{o} - 130^{o} = 50^{o} . S o, i n Δ D E C, w e h a v e ∠ C D E = 180^{o} - (∠ D E C + ∠ E C D) = 180^{o} - (50^{o} + 20^{o}) = 110^{o} .
