Correct Answer: 96°


Solution :
In $\triangle$OBC
OB = BC
So, $\angle$ BOC = $\angle$ BCO = 32°
Also, $\angle$ OBA = $\angle$ BOC + $\angle$ BCO = 32° + 32° = 64°
Since OA = OB
$\angle$ OAB = $\angle$ OBA
In $\triangle$ AOB
$\angle$  AOB + $\angle$  OAB + $\angle$ OBA = 180º
⇒ $\angle$ AOB + 64° + 64° = 180°
⇒ $\angle$ AOB = 180° – 128° = 52°
Now,
$\angle$ AOD + $\angle$ AOB + $\angle$ BOC = 180°
⇒ $\angle$ AOD + 52° + 32°  = 180°
⇒ $\angle$ AOD = 180° – 84° = 96°
Hence, the correct answer is 96°.
