Answer
(i) Arc AC subtends ∠AOC on center and ∠ABC at point B of the circle.
∴ ∠AOC = 2∠ABC (∵ as angle subtended on center of circle is double the angle subtended on any other part.)
⇒ 150° = 2∠ABC
⇒ ∠ABC =
⇒ ∠ABC = 75°.
Hence, the value of ∠ABC = 75°.
(ii) From figure,
ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral.
Since opposite angles sum is 180° in cyclic quadrilateral
⇒ ∠ABC + ∠ADC = 180°
⇒ 75° + x° = 180°
⇒ x° = 180° - 75°
⇒ x° = 105°.
Hence, the value of ∠ADC = 105°.
