Solution

In the given figure,

∠BOC = ∠FOE = 4y (Vertically opposite angles)

∠EOD = ∠AOB = 8y (Vertically opposite angles)

∠AOF = ∠COD = 6y (Vertically opposite angles)

Now, ∠AOB + ∠BOC + ∠COD = 180∘ (Linear Pair angles)

⇒ 8y + 4y + 6y = 180∘

⇒ 18y = 180∘

⇒ y = 10∘

Therefore,

∠BOC = 4y

= 40∘

∠EOD = 8y

= 80∘

∠AOF = 6y

= 60∘

Hence, the measures of ∠BOC, ∠EOD, ∠AOF are 40∘, 80∘ and 80∘ respectively.
