Solution

In the given figure,
∠BOC = ∠FOE = 4y (Vertically opposite angles)
∠EOD = ∠AOB = 8y (Vertically opposite angles)
∠AOF = ∠COD = 6y (Vertically opposite angles)
Now, ∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COD = 180 (Linear Pair angles)
⇒ 8y + 4y + 6y = 180
⇒ 18y = 180
⇒ y = 10
Therefore,
∠BOC = 4y
= 40
∠EOD = 8y
= 80
​∠AOF = 6y
= 60
Hence, the measures of ∠BOC, ∠EOD, ∠AOF are 40, 80 and 80 respectively.
