Detailed Solution

Given,
ABCD   is a cyclic quadrilateral with AB   as the diameter of the circle. Also,
ADC=140°  
Question ImageWe have to find: BAC  .
Then, ADC+ABC=180°   (Since the sum of the opposite angles of a quadrilateral is 180°  ).
ABC=180°140°=40°  
Also, ACB=90°  
Since a diameter's angle at the circle's circumference is 90°  
In ΔABC   we have,
ACB=90°  and ABC=40°  .
Hence,
CAB=180°(ACB+ABC)  
CAB=180°(90°+40°)  
BAC=50°  
Hence, the correct option is 2.
