Ans:    To prove :- ∠AOB + ∠DOC = 180o

∠BOC + ∠AOD = 180o

Proof : - Since the two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle subtend equal angles at centre.

∴∠1 = ∠2, ∠3 = ∠4, ∠5 = ∠6, ∠7 = ∠8

but ∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 = 360o

2(∠2 + ∠3 + ∠6 + ∠7) = 360o

∠2 + ∠3 + ∠6 + ∠7 = 360o

∴∠AOB + ∠DOC = 180o

Similarly

∠1 + ∠2 + ∠3 + ∠4 + ∠5 + ∠6 + ∠7 + ∠8 = 360o

2(∠1 + ∠8 + ∠4 + ∠5) = 360o

∠1 + ∠8 + ∠5 = 180o

∴∠BOC + ∠AOD = 180o

Hence proved
