Solution

The correct option is D 38°

In given figure,
Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.
So, AD ∣∣ BC
∴ ∠DAC = ∠ACB --- ( Alternate angle)
∴ ∠ACB = 32°

∠AOB + ∠BOC = 180° --- (Linear pair)
⇒70° + ∠BOC = 180° ---- (∠AOB = 70°)
∴ ∠BOC = 180° - 70° = 110°

In △BOC,
OBC+BOC+OCB=180°
OBC+110°+32°=180° (∠OCB = ∠ACB = 32° & ∠BOC = 110°)
OBC=180°110°32°
OBC=38°
DBC=38°
