    In the given figure,\[\Delta ODC\tilde{\ }\Delta OBA\]. \[\angle BOC=125{}^\circ \]and\[\angle CDO=70{}^\circ \], then the value of \[\angle OAB\]is

    A) \[70{}^\circ \]

    B) \[125{}^\circ \]

    C) \[65{}^\circ \]

    D) \[55{}^\circ \]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\angle DOC+\angle COB=180{}^\circ\] [linear pair]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\angle DOC+125{}^\circ =180{}^\circ\]
    Hence,  \[\angle DOC=180{}^\circ -125{}^\circ =180{}^\circ\]
     Again, \[\angle DCO+\angle CDO+\angle DOC=180{}^\circ\]
                                        [angles of a triangle]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\angle DCO+70{}^\circ +55{}^\circ =180{}^\circ\]
    Hence, \[\angle DCO=180{}^\circ -125{}^\circ =55{}^\circ\]     ...(i)
    \[\because \Delta ODC\tilde{\ }\Delta OBA\]          [given]
    \[\therefore \angle OAB=\angle OCD={{55}^{{}^\circ }}\]         [from Eq. (i)]
