ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.

We know that sum of opposite angles of cyclic quadrilateral is 180°

∴ ∠ADC + ∠ABC = 180°

⇒ ∠ABC = 180° – ∠ADC

⇒ ∠ABC = 180° – 130°

⇒ ∠ABC = 50°

⇒ ∠OBC = 50°

In ΔBCO and ΔBEO

BC = BE (given)

∠BCO = ∠BEO [Angles opposite to equal sides]

BO = BO (common)

∴ By SAS congruence

ΔBCO = ΔBEO

∴ ∠OBC = ∠OBE

∴ ∠OBE = 50° [∠OBC = 50°]

Now ∠CBE = ∠CBO + ∠OBE

= 50° + 50°

= 100°

Thus ∠CBE = 100°
