In \triangleAOB, AO = OB    (Radius)

\angleABO = \angleBAO         [Angle opposite to equal sides are equal]

\angleABO = 60° [\therefore \angleBAO = 60° Given]

In \triangleAOB,

\angleABO + \angleOAB =\angleAOC (exterior angle is equal to the sum of interior opposite angles)

 60° + 60° = 120° =\angleAOC

\angle ADC =\frac{1}{2} \angle AOC

(The angle subtended at the centre by an arc is twice the angle subtended by it at any part of the circle)

\angle ADC =\frac{1}{2} \left ( 120^{\circ} \right )

\angleADC = 60°
