Correct Answer: $95^{\circ}$
Solution :
In the given problem, $\angle \mathrm{AOD}$ and $\angle \mathrm{BOC}$ are angles subtended by the chords $\mathrm{AB}$ and $\mathrm{CD}$ at the centre of the circle. The angle subtended by a chord at the centre is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the alternate segment of the circle. $\mathrm{\angle ABD = \frac{1}{2} \angle AOD = \frac{1}{2} \times 100^{\circ} = 50^{\circ}}$ $\mathrm{\angle BDC = \frac{1}{2} \angle BOC = \frac{1}{2} \times 70^{\circ} = 35^{\circ}}$ In $\triangle \mathrm{BPD}$, $\mathrm{\angle BPD = 180^{\circ} -(50^{\circ} + 35^{\circ}) = 95^{\circ}}$ $\angle\mathrm{ BPD}$ and $\angle \mathrm{APC}$ are vertically opposite angles. $\mathrm{\angle BPD =\angle APC}$ $\mathrm{\angle APC = 95^{\circ}}$ Hence, the correct answer is $95^{\circ}$.
