Solution

We know that equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.

$\Rightarrow ∠ A O B = ∠ C O D = 60^{\circ}$

Since, the central angle of a circle is $360^{\circ}$ .

So, $∠ A O B + ∠ B O C + ∠ C O D + ∠ A O D = 360^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow 60^{\circ} + ∠ B O C + 60^{\circ} + 170^{\circ} = 360^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow 290^{\circ} + ∠ B O C = 360^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow ∠ B O C = 360^{\circ} - 290^{\circ} = 70^{\circ}$
