Detailed Solution

Remember to join point O to C and use Angle CAT is equal to 90 by property of diameter in this question; following these instructions will help you get closer to the solution.

The lineAC passes through O. So it is a diameter of the circle.

ABC is an angle inscribed in a semicircle.

ABC=90°

Now ABC+ACB+BAC=180°... (sum of the  angles of a Δ=180°

50°+90°+BAC=180°

50°+90°+BAC=180°

BAC=40°

Again, AT is a tangent to the circle at A.

CAT=90°

BAT+CAB=90°

BAT+40°=90°

BAT=50°
