Answer
From figure,
In △OAB,
OA = OB (Radius of same circle)
We know that,
Angles opposite to equal sides are equal.
∴ ∠OBA = ∠OAB = 55°
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠OBA + ∠OAB + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ 55° + 55° + ∠AOB = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB + 110° = 180°
⇒ ∠AOB = 180° - 110° = 70°.
We know that,
The angle which an arc of a circle subtends at the center is double that which it subtends at any point on the remaining part of the circumference.
∴ ∠AOB = 2∠ACB
∠ACB = = 35°.
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
