Best answer

’O’ is the centre ∠AOB = 100°

Thus ∠ACB = 1/2 ∠AOB

[∵ angle made by an arc at the centre is twice the angle made by it on the remaining part]]

 = 1/2 x 100° = 50°

∠ACB and ∠ADB are supplementary 

[ ∵ Opp. angles of a cyclic quadrilateral]

∴ ∠ADB = 180°-50° = 130°

[OR]

∠ADB is the angle made by the major arc \(\widehat{ACB}\) at D.

∴ ∠ADB = 1/2 ∠AOB [where ∠AOB is the angle;

made by \(\widehat{ACB}\) at the centre]

= 1/2 [360° – 100°] [from the figure]

 = 1/2 x 260° = 130°
