Here, $\angle A C B=\frac{1}{2} \operatorname{Reflex}(\angle AOB )=\frac{1}{2}\left(360^{\circ}-140^{\circ}\right)=110^{\circ}$ (Angle at the centre is double the angle at the circumference subtended by the same chord) Now, OA = OB (Radii of same circle) $\therefore \angle OBA =\angle OAB =\frac{180^{\circ}-140^{\circ}}{2}=20^{\circ}$ ∴ ∠CAB = 50° - 20°= 30° ΔCAB, ∠CBA - 180° -110°- 30° = 40° ∴ ∠OBC = ∠CBA + ∠OBA = 40° + 20° = 60°
