Correct Answer: 56°


Solution : The angle subtended by an arc of a circle at its centre is twice the angle it subtends on any point of the circle's circumference.
So, $\angle$AOC = 2 $\angle$ABC
⇒ 112°= 2 $\angle$ABC
⇒ $\angle$ABC = 56°
Also, $\angle$ABC = $\angle$ACD
⇒ $\angle$ACD = 56°
Hence, the correct answer is 56°.
