Solution
The angle subtended by an arc at the centre of a circle is twice the angle subtended by the arc at any point on the circle.
Here, the angle subtended by the arc BC at the centre is ∠BOC, and at any other point A on the arc BAC is ∠BAC.
Using the exterior angle of △BAO and △AOC at O, it can be proved that ∠BOC=2×∠BAC.
