(b) 150°

ΔAOB is equilateral 

⇒ AO = OB = AB and 

∠OAB = ∠OBA = ∠AOB = 60° 

Also, ABCD being a square, 

AB = BC = CD = AD 

⇒ AO = AD and BO = BC 

∠DAO = ∠CBO = 30°           ( ∠OAB = ∠OBA = 60°) 

In ΔADO, AO = AD ⇒ ∠ADO = ∠AOD 

= \(\frac{1}{2}\) (180° – ∠DAO) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (180° – 30°) = 75° 

Similarly, ∠BOC = 75°.

∴ ∠DOC = 360° – (∠AOB + ∠AOD + ∠BOC) = 360° – (60° + 75° + 75°) = 360° – 210° = 150°
