In the given figure, straight lines AB and CD intersect at O. If ∠AOC+∠BOD=130∘ then ∠AOD=?
(a)65∘
(b)115∘
(c)110∘
(d)125∘
ANSWER:
(b)115∘
We have :
∠AOC=∠BOD Vertically-
Opposite Angles ∴ ∠AOC+∠BOD=130⇒∠AOC+∠AOC=130∘∵∠AOC=∠BOD⇒2∠AOC=130∘⇒∠AOC=65∘
Now,
∠AOC+∠AOD=180∘∵CODisastraightline⇒65∘+∠AOD=180∘⇒∠AOC=115∘
