Correct Answer: 90°
Solution : A cyclic quadrilateral ABCD is such that AB = BC, AD = DC, and AC and BD intersect at O. $\angle$ CAD = 46$^\circ$ ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral, $\angle$ A + $\angle$ C = $\angle$ B + $\angle$ D = 180$^\circ$ AD = CD ⇒ $\angle$ CAD = $\angle$ DCA = 46$^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle$ ADC = 180$^\circ$ - 92$^\circ$ = 88$^\circ$ ⇒ $\angle$ ABC = 180$^\circ$ - 88$^\circ$ = 92$^\circ$ AB = BC ⇒ $\angle$ BAC = $\angle$ BCA = $\frac{180^\circ-92^\circ}{2}$=$\frac{88^\circ}{2}$ = 44$^\circ$ Now, $\angle$ ABO = $\angle$ DCA = $\angle$ DAC = 46$^\circ$ (angles made by the same arc on the same side of the circle are equal) ⇒ $\angle$ AOB = 180$^\circ$ - (46$^\circ$ + 44$^\circ$) = 90$^\circ$ $\therefore$ $\angle$ AOB is 90$^\circ$ Hence, the correct answer is 90$^\circ$.
