Since AB is a straight line,

∴ ∠AOC + ∠COE + ∠EOB = 180°

or (∠AOC + ∠BOE) + ∠COE = 180° or 70° + ∠COE = 180° [ ∵∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70° (Given)]

or ∠COE = 180° – 70° = 110°

∴ Reflex ∠COE = 360° – 110° = 250°

Also, AB and CD intersect at O.

∴∠COA = ∠BOD [Vertically opposite angles]

But ∠BOD = 40° [Given]

∴ ∠COA = 40°

Also,

∠AOC + ∠BOE = 70°

∴ 40° + ∠BOE = 70° or ∠BOE = 70° -40° = 30°
