Answer

We know that,

Angle in semi-circle is a right angle.

∴ ∠BAD = 90°

From figure,

⇒ ∠BAD + ∠ADB + ∠DBA = 180°

⇒ 90° + ∠ADB + 35° = 180°

⇒ ∠ADB + 125° = 180°

⇒ ∠ADB = 180° - 125° = 55°.

We know that,

Angles subtended by the same chord on the circle are equal.

∴ a = ∠ADB = 55°.

Hence, a = 55°.
