Correct Answer: 80º


Solution :
The angle subtended by a chord at the centre is twice the angle subtended on the circumference.
$\angle$BOD = 2$\angle$BCD
⇒ $\angle$AOC = 2$\angle$ABC
⇒ $\angle$AOC + $\angle$BOD = 2($\angle$BCD + $\angle$ABC)
The sum of the interior angle is equal to the exterior angle.
$\angle$BCD + $\angle$ABC = $\angle$APC
⇒ $\angle$AOC + $\angle$BOD = 2$\angle$APC
⇒ $\angle$AOC + $\angle$BOD = 2 × 40º
⇒ $\angle$AOC + $\angle$BOD = 80º
Hence, the correct answer is 80º.
