Answer
Mark the point of intersection of AC and BD as E:
Since, AC is a straight line.
∴ ∠AEB + ∠BEC = 180°
⇒ 120° + ∠BEC = 180°
⇒ ∠BEC = 180° - 120° = 60°.
In △BEC,
⇒ ∠BEC + ∠ECB + ∠CBE = 180°
⇒ 60° + ∠ECB + 25° = 180°
⇒ ∠ECB + 85° = 180°
⇒ ∠ECB = 180° - 85° = 95°.
We know that,
Angles subtended by the same chord on the circle are equal.
∴ b = ∠ACB
From figure,
∠ACB = ∠ECB = 95°.
Hence, b = 95°.
