We know that,
Angle which an arc subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.
∠AOB = 2∠ACB = 2 x 50° = 100°.
Also, OA = OB = radius of circle.
∴ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = c [As angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
In △OAB,
⇒ ∠OAB + ∠AOB + ∠OBA = 180°
⇒ 2∠OAB + 100° = 180° [∵ ∠OBA = ∠OAB and ∠AOB = 100°]
⇒ 2c + 100° = 180°
⇒ 2c = 180° - 100°
⇒ 2c = 80°
⇒ c = = 40°.
Hence, c = 40°.
