IMO D.

I tired solving this problem using one of the basic rules of the triable.

Exterior angle of a triable = sum of the opposite interior angles.

It is given AB = OC.

Following can also be derived. OB = AB.
Let <BAO = <BOA = x (Because of the Isoceles triable proerty)
Let <BCO = <CBO = y. (Becuase of the isoceles triangle property)

From stmt1 : <COD = 60 Then x + y = 60 (By the rule, stated above)
Again <BAO + <BOA = <CBO ==> y + y = x ==> 2y = x(By the rule stated above)

Solving these two, we can get the value of y. Hence sufficient.

From Stmt 2: Given <BCO = 40. ==> < CBO = 40.

Again, <BAO + <BOA = <CBO ==> y + y = x ==> 2y = x(By the rule stated above)
Here we know x = 40.

Solving it, we can get the value of Y. Hence sufficient.

Other solutions can be found in the following link.

Don't know the post but, here is the solution:

from the stem , AB = OC = OB (Since OC and OB are radii of the same circle) --- (a)

from (1) , we have 4 2 <BAO = 20. Hence (2) is sufficient.

I have not explained here but if you understood (1) above, I think this is easy to stand.

Therefore the answer is (D).
