It is given that:


m\angle\text{AOB}=(3x)^(\circ),m\angle BOC=(5x-6)^(\circ)
\text{By the geometry of the figure since }OC\perp AD,\angle AOC=90^(\circ)\text{ }

Therefore it follows:


\begin{gathered} \angle AOC=\angle AOB+\angle BOC \\ 90=3x+5x-6 \\ 96=8x \\ x=12 \end{gathered}

Hence the value of x is 12 units.

Option B is correct.
