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.
