Solution

Let ABCD be a rhombus in which diagonals are intersecting at point O and a circle is drawn while taking side CD as its diameter.
We know that a diameter subtends $90^{\circ}$ on the arc
$∴ ∠ C O D = 90^{\circ}$
Also, in rhombus, the diagonals intersect each other at $90^{\circ}$ .
$∴ ∠ A O B = ∠ B O C = ∠ C O D = ∠ D O A = 90^{\circ}$
