Answer
Since BAD is a straight line,
⇒ ∠BAC + ∠CAD = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC + 135° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° - 135° = 45°
From the figure,
∠BCO = ∠OCA = x (assume)
Since BCE is a straight line,
⇒ ∠BCO + ∠OCA + ∠ACE = 180°
⇒ x + x + 95° = 180°
⇒ 2x + 95° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 95° = 85°
⇒ x = = 42.5°
∠BCA = 2x = 85°
From the figure,
∠ABO = ∠OBC = y (assume)
∠CBA = 2y
In Δ ABC, sum of all angles of the triangle is 180°.
⇒ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ 45° + 2y + 85° = 180°
⇒ 130° + 2y = 180°
⇒ 2y = 180° - 130°
⇒ 2y = 50°
⇒ y =
⇒ y = 25°
In Δ BOC, sum of all angles of the triangle is 180°.
⇒ ∠OBC + ∠OCB + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 25° + 42.5° + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ 67.5° + ∠BOC = 180°
⇒ ∠BOC = 180° - 67.5°
⇒ ∠BOC = 112.5°
Now, in triangle OBC,
∠BOC > ∠OCB > ∠OBC
Side opposite to greater angle is greater.
Hence, OC < OB < BC.
