IMO B
if we draw the quadrilateral ,
amd calculate the angles ( especially using the property that angles in se segment by any chord are equal )
we can see that the triangle ABC will become an isoselece triangle with angles 70,70,40
so this way we can say that BC = AC = 6

Solution:
This question is based on the following property. Once, we understand what property to use. This question is not that difficult to solve.
- • Inscribed angles subtended by the same arc of a circle are equal.
Keeping this property in mind. Let's solve this question.
- • \(∠BAC = ∠BDC = 70\) [angle subtended by same arc BC]
• \(∠ACB=∠ADB= 40\) [angle subtended by same arc AB]
- In triangle ABC,
• \(∠ABC + ∠ACB+∠BAC = 180\)
• \(∠ABC= 180 – 70 – 40\)
• \(∠ABC = 70\)
• \(∠ABC = ∠BAC = 70\)
- • AC = BC
• BC = 6
- o AC = 6
