Given that ∠OAB = ∠OAC (AD bisects ∠BAC) -- (1)
Since O is the center of the circumcircle of triangle ABC, OA = OB = OC
=> OA = OB, OA = OC and OB = OC
=> ∠OAB = ∠OBA, ∠OAC = ∠OCA and ∠OBC = ∠OCB -- (2)
From (1) and (2)
∠OAB = ∠ OAC = ∠ OBA = ∠OCA -- (3)
Now ∠ABD = ∠OBA + ∠OBC
= ∠OCA + ∠OCB [Using (2) and (3)]
= ∠ACD
=> ABC = ∠ACB
So AB = AC
Since O is the center of the circumcircle of triangle ABC, OA = OB = OC
=> OA = OB, OA = OC and OB = OC
=> ∠OAB = ∠OBA, ∠OAC = ∠OCA and ∠OBC = ∠OCB -- (2)
From (1) and (2)
∠OAB = ∠ OAC = ∠ OBA = ∠OCA -- (3)
Now ∠ABD = ∠OBA + ∠OBC
= ∠OCA + ∠OCB [Using (2) and (3)]
= ∠ACD
=> ABC = ∠ACB
So AB = AC
