Let’s write the measurement of ∠BOD, ∠BOC and ∠AOC.

In the above given figure, let us understand the pairs of vertically opposite angle.
∠AOD and ∠COB are lying opposite to each other [in common language lying face to face to each other].
So, first pair of vertically opposite angles is ∠AOD and ∠COB.
∠AOC and ∠DOB are also lying opposite to each other.
Hence ∠AOC and ∠DOB forms our second pair of vertically opposite angles.
Vertically opposite angles are always equal.
Hence ∠AOD must be equal to ∠COB and ∠AOC must be equal to ∠DOB.
Also, we know that sum all vertically opposite angles is 360°.
∠AOD + ∠COB + ∠AOC + ∠DOB = 360°.
Now in the question it is given that,
∠AOD = 120°
So ∠COB must be equal to 120° [as ∠COB = ∠AOD……… vertically opposite angles]
Let ∠DOB = ∠AOC = x [as ∠AOC = ∠DOB……… vertically opposite angles]
So, 120° + 120° + x + x = 360°
240° + 2x = 360°
2x = 360 – 240
2x = 120
x = 120 / 2
x = 60°
So ∠AOC = ∠DOB = 60°.
