Join CA and BD, we know that angle subtended by arc at center of the circle is double the angle at remaining part by same arc

Thus ∠AOC = 2∠ADC

= 2 × 25°

∠AOC = 50°

Now AB || CD and AO is transversal. We know that line AO, intersects CD and AB at O and A respectively such that ∠OAB = ∠AOC and ∠OAB = 50°

In ∆OAB

OA = OB (radius of circle)

⇒ ∠OAB = ∠OBA(In a triangle angles opposite to equal sides arc equal)

⇒ ∠OBA = ∠OAB

⇒ ∠OBA = 50°

in ∆OAB

∠OAB + ∠OBA + ∠AOB = 180° [∵ Sum of triangle angles of a triangle ∆ is 180°]

50° + 50° + ∠AOB = 180°

100° + ∠AOB = 180°

∠AOB = 180°- 100°

∠AOB = 80°

Again, we know that angle subtended by an arc at center is double the angle at remaining part of circle by same arc.

∴ ∠AOB = 2∠AEB

⇒ 80° = 2∠AEB

⇒ ∠AEB = \(\frac { { 80 }^{ \circ } }{ 2 } \) = 40°
