$\triangle\text{ODC}\sim\triangle\text{OBC}$
$\angle\text{BOC}=115^\circ$
$\angle\text{CDO}=70^\circ$
  1. $\angle\text{DOC}=(180^\circ-\angle\text{BOC})$
$=(180^\circ-115^\circ)$

$=65^\circ$
  1. $\angle\text{OCD}=180^\circ-\angle\text{CDO}-\angle\text{DOC}$
$\angle\text{OCD}=180^\circ-(70^\circ+65^\circ)$

$=45^\circ$
  1. Now, $\triangle\text{ABO}\sim\triangle\text{ODC}$
$\angle\text{AOB}=\angle\text{OCD }(\text{vert.Opp }\angle\text{s})=45^\circ$

$\angle\text{OAB}=\angle\text{OCD}=45^\circ$
  1. $\angle\text{OBA}=\angle\text{ODC}$ (alternate angles) = 70º
So, $\angle\text{OAB}=45^\circ$ and $\angle\text{OBA}=70^\circ$
