mhm... I figured out by drawing it's 150 but I still don't get the proof... can you elaborate a little ?
△ O A C is equilateral and O D is a perpendicular bisector to chord A C . O D is extended to point B so points O , D , B are collinear. △ A B D ≅ △ C B D by SAS congruence. This proves A B ≅ C B citing corresponding parts of congruent triangles. △ A B C is therefore isosceles. We can now conclude that we just inscribed 6 1 of a regular polygon inside the circle (i.e., 3 6 0 ∘ 6 0 ∘ ). ∠ A B C is therefore the interior angle of a regular dodecagon since we can repeat this construction 6 times in total.
∴ 1 5 0 ∘
It is not mentioned that O,D,B are collinear

If O be the centre of the circle then triangle AOC is equilateral and hence / AOC=60° which makes / ABC=150. This should be a Level 1 problem with a lesser weightage.
