Join OD.

In the given figure, O is the center of a circle. AB is the side of a square and BC is side of a regular hexagon. Also arc AD = arc CD. Angle DOC is equal to : Circles, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Since, AB is the side of square.

∴ ∠AOB = 360°4\dfrac{360°}{4} = 90°.

Since, BC is the side of regular hexagon.

∴ ∠BOC = 360°6\dfrac{360°}{6} = 60°.

We know that,

Equal arcs subtends equal angles at the center.

Since, arc AD = arc CD

∴ ∠AOD = ∠COD = x (let)

From figure,

⇒ ∠AOD + ∠COD + ∠AOB + ∠BOC = 360°

⇒ x + x + 90° + 60° = 360°

⇒ 2x + 150° = 360°

⇒ 2x = 360° - 150°

⇒ 2x = 210°

⇒ x = 210°2\dfrac{210°}{2} = 105°.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
