Detailed Solution

∠BOC=30° and ∠AOB=60° (Given)
⇒∠AOC= ∠AOB + ∠BOC
⇒∠AOC= 60°+30°
⇒∠AOC= 90°
We can see that AOC is the angle subtended by the arc ABC at its centre.
D is now the point on the circle that is not the arc ABC.
As a result, we know that the angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice that of any other point on the circle.
Therefore,
⇒ ∠AOC = 2×∠ADC
⇒ 90° = 2×∠ADC
90°2=ADC
⇒ 45°= ∠ADC
Hence we get the value of ∠ADC as 45°.
